jayroh Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 hi everyone - As a big fan of the first starcraft I ran out to pre-order the sequel and get my beta key to try this out. Unfortunately it's looking like the video driver situation I have here on my machine isn't allowing me to play (or even get into it). I fire up the game and see nothing but a spinning planet - no menu, no nothing but a big intergalactic backdrop and sweeping music. I tried the beta out on my under-powered macbook pro and it works there, so - I can only assume it's a driver issue on my hackintosh. My Video/Display information: ------------------------------------ GeForce 8800 GT: Chipset Model: GeForce 8800 GT Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0611 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: xx.xx.xx - internal Displays: DELL 2405FPW: Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Rotation: Supported Display Connector: Status: No Display Connected ------------------------------------ In the few items I've found online about this someone mentioned something about using an injector and/or boot-string hack to get the right video drivers up and running. Can anyone point me somewhere to get things set up just right so this might work? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblesurfer Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Oh God I dreaded a post like this would come up. I am also running the 8800GT and wanted to try SC@ (but never got a bloody beta invite so I am stuck). There is a post mentioning how to inject the information of your EFI string in apple.boot I'll dig it up for ya in a sec.
