Run Bioshock 2 in Parallels (Fallout 3 & MassEffect next)
I got Biosock 2 to work in Parallels 5.0 and Windows 7 64-bit ... I first bought the game from Direct2Drive and tried to download it from the site and run the download program by double clicking it from Finder. It would go through the install process, etc but would never run.
Anyway, I found that Direct2Drive has two download managers, one a simple DLM and the other from Comrade. So I installed Comrade and downloaded and installed the game thorugh this interface. Couple of points;
- performed the install though Comrade interface drom Direct2Drive
- installed the program into the Windows c:\ drive
Seems like installing it into the C:\ drive within the VM is the key.
Going to try Fallout 3 and MasEffect next and will post results here.
I am running Windows 7 in window mode, set the game up to maximum video performance and it runs a little slow .. played with the graphic settings and it runs like a champ.
My machine is a Mac Pro tower, 2.93 GHz quad core, 16MB ram
