DirectX 8 on Mac

The game runs on hardware level DirectX 8.1, but software level DirectX 9 (assuming that the game is sreverting settings to an older setting, as if I was running on a poor graphics card). It claims I have an outdated graphics driver before launching the game.

Changing resolution from 640x480 result in the actua screen mbeing moved, sort of pushed away with white and black square boxes.

The center of the screen is still the center of the screen, though.

i've gotten the same message. have you figured anything out?

and (to anyone) what graphic card/drivers are the bottles on crossover supposed to be running?

CrossOver reports to the application the card reported by the OpenGL vendor string. HL2 has an internal card database that it uses that to setup the game for certain cards. You can ignore that message.

FYI, Crossover does not emulate any specific driver, there is no emulation involved here. CrossOver translates DirectX to OpenGL.

You see that error usually because the string returned by OpenGL does not exactly match any cards that HL2 knows about.

cool thanks for the info
