I haven't managed to play yet, I've spent the last couple days trying to download the game, I was able to troubleshoot the errors I was getting related to the Bitraider and managed to download the game overnight. The play button now finally works, but ofc there's nothing that I can see besides the cursor.
There is no easy way to say this , but I doubt it will work, I am surprised it didnt give a C7 error as the cpu is below minimum requirements
now so saying that , the black screen issue will likely be with the video driver , I do not know if vmware have any different driver versions for you to test with.
I do know that bootcamp seems to work ok on macs with swtor for most people but your cpu concerns me
I am not sure how much more help i can provide unfortunately
Maybe can ask vmware (link) if there is any newer video drivers ?
Yeah I think I understand the point about cpu, since the minimum system requirements call for at least 2 ghz if i remember correctly, and my macbook specs say 1.1 ghz. I was thinking that it might be able to work since there is a "Turbo Boost" mode that increases that to 2.2 ghz. Thanks for your input, I'll try running it on bootcamp and see if that works. 🙂
