ESO not working on the last Mac Pro?

Post » Sun Mar 30, 2014 7:30 am

Hi everybody! Am I the only one having troubles trying to start ESO on the last Mac Pro (late 2013)?

The launcher starts normally, but when I hit on "Play" button, the game starts to load but the screen remains black... The cursor as well does' t even change (like it does on my Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013). I' ve tried to repair the game but nothing happens. I' ve copied the directory from the Mac Pro with the game on the Macbook pro (15", the actual top configuration, with expanded CPU and Hard-Drive) and on it the game runs, so it seems that there are no troubles with the installation!

I' m actually on a Mac Pro Late 2013, 12 cores, 2 x AMD Firepro D7000 6144MB, 64 GB ram and 1TB solid Drive on it.

The screen is the Sharp PN-K321, the top 4k that Sharp actually does (yep, I use this computer mainly for graphic work, not gaming. I' ve only played WoW and Diablo III on this machine, everything went perfect), so it seems I' m not lacking performance to enable the game to play, and, ofc, I'm on the Admin account.

I wrote to the customer service but they haven' t solved the problem, so I wanted to know if it' s only me or there is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I have an older MacBook Pro and it works fine - so far. I've heard some of the 2013 chips don't play well with EOS. I'll give you a bump in the hopes that someone can help.

The beta ran fine on my macbook pro 2009 both on external display and built in display.

My 2013 mac pro ( i have the same D700 ) arrives next week and of course I will try running ESO on it.

If i run into problems, I will post on the new(?) forums under this thread title .

I believe the problems MaxBat was referring to pertained to the MacBooks with the Intel Iris graphics chips not the AMD FIRE graphics cards.

The post from the TESO devs specifically mentioned the Intel Iris graphic chip set.

Have you tried changing resolution down to something below 4K..perhaps something more common like 1920 x1080 ?
