Title: Samp on Mac
Post by: Rockey on March 12, 2013, 21:26
just got my new macbook pro today and wanted to install samp. I'm currently downloading GTA san Andrea's from steam, which is the mac version.

can i get samp on mac so i can play cvt?

if i can please can you explain if i need any patches or things installed to make it work.

please dont suggest i install windows or something onto my mac, i know this already and its not something i can do due to my small storage drive.

Small storage? It takes like 10GB to install Windows XP. But trust me Samp sucks on Mac, ive tried endlessly to get it to work, it just doesnt.

256gb SSd which is also going to be used for photoshop and things for design and ict work at college..

I have windows 7 with a key, how can I install it without removing the Mac OS?

Install DirectX, SAMP uses it but SA does not.

Just the newest one, it should contain all the older files too.

That's a problem I've had ever since I installed Gta sa on my laptop, it's just a bug, for the menus just highlight your selection with the mouse and press enter.  For the mouse not moving the camera, just alt+tab out of the game and then open it again and the mouse will move the camera again.

I have never used a Mac besides one time in school where I had to do some recording (we have a classroom here that has like 10+ macs) and my mom bought a MacBook Pro not too long ago, never used it tho:P I prefer win7 and my laptop, half the price of a MacBook and probably 3x better haha
