has anyone managed to run source games within parallels desktop 8?

i just installed win8 and counter strike global offensive. clicked 'Play" and got this error message:



i know there's cs:go for osx, but playing with bots lag like hell on my MBP.

yes, i play with bots, get over it. sometimes there's no internet connection

I run with bootcamp, working just fine. Got parallel desktop if I wanna quickly use microsoft access without needing to reboot. I need to re-activate my windows 8.

Hope a more reliable bootcamp come out for win8, my wifi working weird too.

Parallels Desktop 8 upgrade for $35 + free AppTamer.

Hey guys ,

Gonna install windows now. Confused Parallel or Bootcamp.

I wanna game. I don't want my mac to get bottleneck cause of running parallels , it's like if when i game on Windows then i want full processing power and ram for it.. can parallel do this or should i go for bootcamp.

You just answered yourself Bootcamp for sure.

Guys, I've recently have this issue when every time when I used bootcamp and switched back to OSX... I won't have any sound, the volume icon on the top right is disabled...



I have to restart OSX one more time before I could have any sound, it's really annoying... Anyone know how to solve this? So for all I did was, reset my PRAM and it did not help...

I'm using the non-retina 2012 15" MBP btw...

You can do it yourself.

http://support.apple.com/manuals/#bootcamp

Just follow the guide that corresponds to the OS you're running.

Recomend use bootcamp

How to use Apple Earpods as Microphone, On bootcamp?

Yeah, as RAMChYLD said, it's pretty easy. I did it by just following the instructions. Make sure you have a usb drive with enough space for your OS.

its easy to set it up yourself. use boot camp assistant. make sure u have windows disc. =)

does the store can help us with bootcamp?

guys just try it yourself first. it's very easy and i feel it's absurd to pay people to do it for you.

need any help just post on this forum

im stuck at downloading window support

Hello to all sifus,

I have a question to ask pertaining to Windows 8 installation via BootCamp. As recommended in previous thread, installation can be found *here*. However, does it work the same as Windows 8?

In the guide, mentioned :-

To install Windows 7 with a installation disc, you need the following:

- A built-in optical disc drive or a compatible external optical drive. <-- The newer MBP version has SuperDrive. Is it the same as Optical Drive?

- An installation disc with Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate
You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc. You cannot use an
upgrade version of Windows. <-- Roughly how much will Win8 CD cost? (Or should I just stick with Win7?)

- A blank CD or DVD, or an external drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT). <-- Can I use thumbdrive?

SuperDrive is optical drive.
You can use thumbdrive.

Replied from windows 8 by a retina macbook pro user. Win8 is in bootcamp

one more question, i see many OEM version of Windows 8 out there for sale. can these versions be used to install on my MBP?
