OSX is using OpenGL . Thats not the problem , Warcraft III runs pretty good on my mac mini . no problem , but hten it lags when i run it on top of my hac.Its mainly because of the emulation , even such an old game , it lags. so pretty much you're better off running warcraft III on windows then on an intel mac / but if you're talking about ppc imacs its fine
i have dota'ed on my mac mini ...i have no what-so-ever problems |

It's just like CS2 which is still under PPC. |

Like said b4, WC3 is available for G4/G5 Macs. If u got the Intel Mac, then bootcamp n install WC3 lor. I don't understand what's the problem here. Or is it because WC3 is quite rare for OS X?

So we install it in bootcamp windows, the game should work just fine, no lagging.
