No I mean -- that you MUST be at the support of the platform owner without violating any laws.

And seriously, 90% of the xbox games I've tried to play on a 360 have broken or just plain not worked. And even the few that do work require you to go online and download patches. Also no live support.

edit-

Also I wonder what the fail rate of the average PC is compared to the fail rate of the Xbox 360.

Yeah my example wasn't the best, that was just a game that was particularly nightmarish to try and get working. Which is why I added the example you posted yourself. At any rate, I think I was in a really pissy mood when I posted that.

I get DOOM II to run on my vista just fine and thats for what windows 95?

now if you'll excuse me there are archviles that need a beatin

Anyways back on topic. How bad is the performance difference between 2 similar machines running OSX and WinXP/W7.

I've played TF2 on my macbook running WinXP, all of my issues that I've spoken about are entirely platform dependent and OSX related, not hardware related.

Welp, haven't they updated things recently?

I haven't checked, don't really care that much.... but I'll hop on to see if it's still horrible.

E:
It constantly hangs on downloading stuff still, and it still fails at downloading maps.

It will start the download for the map, but not really download anything... so I'll end up wiht a 4 KB file with the right name that the server tries to check to see if my map is valid... fails... and boots me.

thats happens on PC's too llama. not just a mac thing.

sometimes things go wrong and you have to fix them, if you think everything you do is never going fuck up, or encounter an error or a bug then your living in a dream world.

You asking to get wooped by my Link Down A attacks, punk?

What is everyone bitching and moaning about? These are isolated cases, which should be dealt with, but are otherwise non-existent to most people.

I have TF2 running on my iMac on OSX and Bootcamp. There is a notable drop in FPS in the OSX version, but it still works as it should. Same goes for Crysis. I have installed it three times on three different computers using Windows 7 64-Bit and it worked right out of the box.

As for TF2, this is a more serious issue as Llama Juice's computer clearly meets the requirements of an officially supported game. Check Steam forums?
