It's been a while I'm working on Mac because people in my company are retarded and think Mac is the best.
For me, the biggest difference I can feel between Mac and PC is Mac is more expensive.
Until I started to play SC.
First, I was very happy to see that Blizzard has actually released a Mac version of the best game in the world and mac users can play with PC users. Cool.
But. That's all.
The Keyboard is a pain in the A since the freaking FN is taking the place of the CTRL so I can't save group. I bought a Dell Generic Black KeyBoard.
I also fought a hell against this freaking mouse : WHY THE HELL I HAVE TO USE MULTITOUCH to RIGHT CLICK ? And the optic is SO DAMN BAD. So, thanks Sk' (who is in Japan too), he gave me a MX518.
But... I'm still screwed. Because on mac, you can't take the mouse acceleration off and every actions seem to be, well, impossible in a RTS.
Two solutions : don't play (1) // buy a software that override the usb (2).
Because neither of these solutions are good for me, I found the 3rd solution which is to get a Microsoft mouse driver that actually kills the F mac acceleration.
YEAH MICROSOFT POWAH !
Now, I'm ready to play.
NO.
Because if I've actually found a way to get the ICCup working through mac, I don't have any other plugins, especially the Lan Latency and the Anti Hack. So in many games i've joined, I've been automatically dropped after the first second or my SC/BW literally crashes when i get into a game.
So each time I wanna play someone, I have to make sure he doesn't have anti-hack and Lan Latency plugins running on.
But without the last plugins, many friends of mine and especially some people I've met on TLnet couldn't play me... because the lag is too high !
CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ! I'm in Tokyo, running on a 2000 USD computer with Optical Fiber Internet Connection and I CAN'T PLAY CORRECTLY A GAME THAT WAS RELEASED 10 YEARS AGO ?
So I guess the last thing I have to do is to wine and switch back to Windows.
But why paying so much to get a Mac if it is to switch back to Windows ?
Now, Mac users, you can flame me.

hi i have to use a mac too and i share your pain.
the thing is that iccup python will always crash your mac, along with Medusa. maps like Destination and Colosseum are fine to play though. oh and it's not lan lat or AH that is causing you to drop. if you're in the lobby you're probably being banned :p
|
so basically, if you are under mac, you are fucked ?
|
You're the idiot who bought a mac to play games on it.

|
yea as a terran you're fucked. Switch to protoss.

Partition for Windows... 7 or something 
AND YES, MACS DO SUCK

This pretty much sums it up. What would compel you to blow that much cash on a Mac? Didn't you do your research?
If you say it was the commercials, I'm taking a plane over there and burning your house down. I fucking hate those commercials.

Or Parallels to run XP OS, but that costs around $75, however you don't have to reboot your computer every time you want to switch OS. Thats what I use when I play SC, it took awhile to get the settings right, but now it works fine.

Right Clicking
Playing games
Not spending way too much money
Upgrading anything
Not looking like a fag

Yo chill out and check out a solution to one of your problems!
You can turn off mouse accleration from the terminal. Google it.
You can also command click (the apple button) do right click.
the function key only really interferes with binding and recalling map locations. Just hit the spacebar a lot. Your bound to end up in the right place eventually.
