Hiya all,
Anyone else running Witcher 2 on a MAC under bootcamp? I've got a Mac Pro quad core 2,8ghz with an ATI 5770 and it runs pretty bad :( Not sure if its the resolution I'm running? I'm using 2560x1400.

I've got it running on absolute min specs.

Any ideas?

Rob

I'm not too familiar with bootcamp, but my understanding of it is that it's Dual Boot and not VM? In any case, the 5770 probably can't handle that resolution. I run the same video card off my desktop and I can play it somewhere between medium and high at 1680x1050, try lowering the resolution:

Here are my rendering settings for my 5770 (in User.ini)
[Rendering]
AllowAntialias=1
AllowBloom=1
AllowBlur=1
AllowCutsceneDOF=1
AllowDOF=1
AllowDecals=1.0
AllowMotionBlur=0
AllowRain=1
AllowSSAO=1
AllowScatterDOF=1
AllowShafts=1
AllowSharpen=1
AllowVignette=1
AtlasTextureDownscale=0
DanglesLimiter=0
DetailTextureDownscale=0
Fullscreen=1
MaxAtlasTextureSize=2048
MaxCubeShadowCount=1
MaxCubeShadowSize=256
MaxSpotShadowCount=3
MaxSpotShadowSize=512
MaxTextureSize=2048
MeshDistanceScale=1.0
ShadowQuality=3
ShadowedLights=3
TextureDownscale=0
TextureMemoryBudget=600
UberSampling=0
VSync=1

Some like to put UberSampling to 1 (as opposed to 0 or 2 set by the launcher) but I've never been able to tell the difference between 1 and 0 so I leave it off. Also, my video card has 1GB memory, so TextureMemoryBudget is set to 600. If you have less, or start getting crashes, you might wnat to lower this value.

Let me know how it goes.
Rob, I'm playing Witcher 2 on my iMac under Bootcamp and it runs just fine (even with AA switched on). First of all you definitely need to set the lower resolution (1920x1080 should be fine). Turn off all settings for shadows and blurred effect. I guess you can keep the field depth on. Good luck.
