Has anyone out there with a proper install of the above (legal, final, etc.) noticed any problems running them? I just spent some bucks on software (imagine that) and I'd like to know if my Max Payne and Return to Castle Wolfenstein installs are gonna be messed up when I upgrade to Jagaur in 5 days (expected shipping).

And I am running a NewEgg Mac flashed PC Radeon 8500.

Thanks!

As far as I know they're both fine. I've tried running Wolfenstein and it actually seems smoother, possibly because of an improved Open GL implementation. Didn't try Max yet but I haven't heard anything about it not working.

the 8500's drivers need soem work under 10.2, ti will seem faster cuase 10.2 is faster, but once ati releasesa update, we will see even more speed. THis si accourding to Aspyr.

There's keyboard issues with Max Payne under 10.2...occasional crashes and loss of sound too.

Well I've played and beat Max Payne and played some Medal of Honor and RTCW under 10.2 GM and no problems or crashing here. Max Payne did freeze once, though.

What about Diablo 2, anyone tried that on 10.2?

Hmmmm,

Guy you may be having a local problem with your system.

I've completed the Hard Boiled level of Max running 10.2 without a single crash,sound issue, or keyboard problem.

The only issue I ran into is that fog on my ATI radeon does not display correctly but that was an issue under 10.1.5 as well.

I've almost completed Max Payne under 10.2, and I've had 0 problems, other then a few display glitches that might not be 10.2 specific. It might also be graphics card specific.
