Overview
There are various ways to operate the Game Client on the Apple Macintosh.
Mac Client
- Main Article: Mac Special Edition
Mac Special Edition was made possible using TransGaming's Cider Portability Engine, which acts as a "wrapper" around the game software, enabling it to run seamlessly on Intel-based Macs running Mac OS X.
November 7, 2008, saw the beginning of the Mac Client's closed beta testing. [1]
Boot Camp
Running City of Heroes through Boot Camp is exactly like running it under Windows. Because you're running it under Windows. The standard comments about using Vista apply.
After you've installed/patched Windows on your Boot Camp partition, you can copy the client from an existing installation location or DVD, or grab the updater and download the current version.
Read all about the Windows client here.
