Is SimCity playable in Parallels?

If I don't have to partition, I won't. I want to check out the game, but if it means all the hassle of installing Windows, I'll just wait until the Mac release.

Has anyone tried it in Parallels?

Click to expand...

You have to install windows with parallels anyway.
 
Haven't heard any success stories trying it. From not being able to run it in the first place, to severe lag that makes it unplayable.

I suppose we wait for the Mac version.
 
Not sure about Parallels. I went the Boot Camp route with it on release day and it worked just fine... for an hour or so. Haven't been able to get back on since, not too pleased.
 
I bought the PC version, on my MBPr it runs great under bootcamp but does anyone know when the mac native version is out and if we have the pc version it will include the mac version?

don't hold your breath. with the server fiasco, they probably have little to no manpower for developing the mac version right now.
 
I played for like 5 hours yesterday on na west 4.

What settings did you have it on?
 
Nevermind, nothing to see here. Thanks for recommending Boot Camp. The overwhelming urge to play this game has made me get off my @$$ and finally make a bootdisk/partition rather than run Parallels.
