Windows vs MAC

[majesty95]

I know some of you have a version on each OS and I was wondering what the difference were. I'm looking at getting a new MAC desktop with 21" monitor and would like to convert OOTP 15 over and we use if the improved resolution and screen size over my laptop. However I remember seeing some MAC (albeit older ones) had some issues that the Windows versions did not. Thoughts?

I'm sorry to say that I am experiencing several issues playing this year's version on a Mac- instability and crashes as well as FaceGen looking very cartoony. I am hoping these will be resolved in a patch.

The interface resolution and amount of data that I am able to see on my monitor, however, are amazing.

There have been a number of Mac-specific problems with this release. I would imagine they'll be patched eventually, but right now, I wouldn't touch OOTP on a Mac, if you've got a Windows PC to run it on.

Aside from the 3D issue, I haven't had any problems with OOTP 15 on my Mac.

What specs are you running? Could that play a part?

This. Aside from 3D, no issues on my end.

Same here. Not a single issue and I'm seeing faster sim speeds since moving to 15. I'm using an iMac purchased five years ago and upgraded to OSX Mavericks.

I am not thrilled with the new FaceGen on my Mac but that is my only complaint.

I understand that the 3-D doesn't work but seeing how I have absolutely zero interest in the 3-D aspect so turn it off anyway, it doesn't affect me.

Ditto on both accounts.

Anyone want to post their MAC specs so we can see if maybe the processor, RAM or something else creates a different experience for different folks?

My specs: 13 inch Macbook Air (I think from 2012)

Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (very unhappy with my memory, and my external drive broke. Now I have to make a trip to the apple story not only for that, but because my pages application won't open.)

Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB

Software: OS X 10.9.2 (13C1021)

Are you having issues with OOTP on it or is it working OK for you?

It crashed twice when I was trying to play a game in manager mode, I was pretty early on in them, both times I lost my saves, so I gave up on that. I've been playing a fictional league now, just simming, and I've had no problems.
