Mac Pro 1,1 with ATI 5770 - Unplayable

Crossover installed just fine.
Game installed just fine.
Game started just fine.

I was unhappy that I could not get the game to go into a fullscreen mode on only 1 monitor as I use 2 monitors (I do use a video card for each monitor).

Framerates were awful. Looks like it wasn't using the video card at all, even on the lowest settings, I was barely getting 10fps in the world.

Let me know when you get the FPS improved and I'll give her another try. In the meantime, this isn't worth buying.

I was able to get a little better performance by tweaking the registry as described here:

I have the same desktop and video card.

Just a quick thing - try putting it on low render settings. I get 20-30 fps in 1920x1200 with that, it doesn't look pretty but.. it does the job. I've put the terrain distance to 6, object distance at 80, particles to 150, spell detail at 3 - it's.. alright. It lags up in invasions but apart from that it's fine (tested on GT 330M). - It might work for you.
