Hello Universe,

You can now finally play PlanetSide 2 for Linux and Mac here is how...



The PlayOn group is now supporting PS2.....

Download your PlayOnMac client HERE

Instructions:
1. Once you download your client open and go to install.
2. After your there click games.
3. Then check the box testing.
4. Finally go down in the list, find and install PlanetSide 2. (pictured above)

Please keep in mind its still in testing, is not perfected, and could use your help to submit bug reports.

Also this is not the first way to play for mac users, please refer to Bootcamp.

PARTY ROCK!

I understand wanting to port to Linux... a bit...
But why Mac? Just use bootcamp. FPS and Mac don't get along... like at all.

I wouldn't say that's true - anything that has a native port on a Mac tends to run extremely well. Generally, that means Valve titles. Even my Air can run TF2 competently, and it's not exactly a Maserati.

Too soon?

When I made the script to Playonlinux the same script worked with there Playonmac client with little change. So I they put it on both. Hope this answered your question.

They run ok, but there are other issues. Like inherent mouse acceleration that even with a 3rd party app doesn't seem to go away 100%. I also feel like I have just a touch of mouse lag.

I've played a few games on my laptop, through OSx and Windows boot, like CS and L4D and mostly it has to do with aiming and mouse response. They run smooth enough and sometimes the game actually runs better/ smoother more FPS on the OSx but... I'm bad enough aiming already I don't need any kind of handicap.

Bootcamp.

Not new just easier, or different method for mac. Linux is the bigger highlight.

I had no knowledge of Bootcamp. If PS2 works better on bootcamp, awesome. But this is the way for linux users. I will be sure to edit about boot camp.

Bootcamp is just a way to partition a mac HD to boot in windows or OSx.
Not actually playing "through" bootcamp, you just have a windows PC on the Mac.

I might check out your DL for Mac though and help give some feedback and bug reports. I'm interested to see how it runs.

I would highly appreciate it. I can not test the mac version myself since i am a linux user but the PlayOn Team said the script would work.
