Then you go into the menu, find the game you want. I tried youtubing it but they all confused the ♥♥♥♥ out of me.īasically the porting kit itself is a lightweight download. Is it pretty easy to use wine? Just download it, buy the game on steam, and then i realy dont know what to do next. So you would recommend wine? my mac can run Csgo, Dead Island, Bo1, Tamriel Online, and a few other games very well at around max graphics(using 22' display) So wine would be better as bootcamp takes a while to load up. The negative thing is you have to dual boot each time, so you have to reboot and boot into Windows and next time you have to reboot and boot in to OSX.

Originally posted by Pilieser:To be sure things works fine best is to go for Bootcamp, you just run native Windows on your mac hardware at that point. If you have any further questions let me know, With Bootcamp you won't have this at all as it's native Windows expect just everything to work without many issues the only limit is your current sys specs basicly. Just a little reminder if your playing around with Wine it can be very time consuming and also requires some technical insight to troubleshoot. I can't explain it, maybe it's isnt' real but just a feeling but some games seems to work much better and better fps on Wine for my feeling. Also if you are going to play around with both you will sometimes hit games and Skyrim is one of them where my feeling is that the game performance is much beter on Wine then on Windows native. I have been using Bootcamp in the past and did also many tests. I personaly don't like Bootcamp so I select my games to run on Wine. Arma II for example won't work at all on Wine even the game menu is a mess. You'll see then reports how good a game runs on Wine and also how bad or doesn't work at all, so you don't waste all your money. Each game your going to buy just google 'WineHQ %gamename%.

Lukcy enough Skyrim works flawless on Wine and runs very very well on my Imac with a i5 processor and only 512 video memory. Wine can be great, but also a pain in the ass.
