Not without Bootcamp it won't. Macs aren't exactly associated with gaming compatibility.

What the hell is up with their servers!?

Download keeps stopping and nothing seems to fix it.

Not impressed.

I got it too. It took about 1.2 hours @4mb/s. So I played some thief while I waited. Looks good so far just done a quick mission.

At peak I managed to get 9-10MBps and it eventually downloaded after stopping and starting.

The multiplayer is fun.

If anyone wants to add me ye can @ AlanS2792

I do wish people would stop complaining about the slow download. They've just made the game free for everyone and there's literally hundreds of thousands of people downloading it now.

Relax a bit.

Whats the crack with this playing in a browser window?
I downloaded it ages ago in the humble bundle. Anytime I do tried to play it it played in the origin browser window.

Just my pc?

That's what it does.

You need to click Play Match or whatever, I believe it's the 3rd button on it then it should launch the game.
