I have found a way of running pb on wine in Mac and Linux so we do not have to drop pb.
Does it slow down the game?

probably will require better hardware

Which isn't saying much for AA. Probably dual-core or better would work fine.

Core2Duo 3Ghz iMac osx 10.8 lion gets 60fps on any map on AA2.8.5. Slight lag spike will be felt when PB is used.

I thought 2.8.5 uses 2 cores.

AA2 uses just 1 core. It's because of the engine. I don't think Unreal ever updated it. They did put out a 64-bit patch but I don't think AA released it and even if they did, it's a slight performance boost.

Also, unless you have a 120hz monitor, anything above 60FPS is useless.

Jonny, you didn't happen to try mAAp Pipe did you? :P

When did this topic become a PC pissing contest? Jonny was simply stating that he could run 2.8.5 on a mac and what hardware it had.

If we update to 2.8.5 will everyone go over or will we have a choice?

And I was stating that better Hardware than merlin posted doesnt bring more fps in aa2.

No, everybody will go. Of course, you could still play 2.5, just the same way you can play 2.8.5 now :)

when I said better hardware I was thinking of the 'emulation?' process. the game will use only 1 core but the other core(s) can manage all other apps/services etc etc :D

I'm not sure but, while using WINE: nvidia cards >>>> amd/ati cards

That's why I said dual-core would probably be good enough. One to run Wine, the other to run AA. Perhaps the processor core assignment for programs could be accessed to force Wine to one core and AA to the other?
