Left 4 Dead 2 on Mac Natively and Crossover Games 10.1

Decided to do a video comparing the graphics of L4D2 natively on a mac and the graphics using Crossover Games 10.1 on the mac

This video was captured using the Source Recorder feature in L4D2
For some reason the film grain effect does not appear on the native mac version.
there is a pause early in the footage where I accidentally paused the game while playing. It's not a glitch
Crossover Games is an app Available for Mac and Linux that plays most Windows games close to perfectly. You can find more info here: http://www.codeweavers.com/

I did not include rendered footage from a Native Windows version because i don't have windows.

Can you stil play online if you have L4D2 From Cross over games and put it into steam to play online?

@Gangstahboy632 um what? all the files are the same between the mac and the steam version. with the except for one file which, if steam notices it is missing it will automatically fix it....

Sorry if this seems like a really obvious question, but does Native Mac represent the game when you normally buy it for mac on Steam? Sorry, I'm new to this stuff, so I wasn't sure...

@filmmaker365 They were both purchased on steam. Native Mac means how the game plays on the mac normally. So yeah. Crossover games is also on the mac but its playing it using a bunch of code that makes the game think it's in windows.

@TaylorBamford graphics are a smidge better and generally framerate is better but usually the same.

[SaberCowInk]

@TaylorBamford Yes. everything works perfectly between mac and PC. Just use the mac version. it runs better on mac than it does on crossover. everything is fully compatible.

[SaberCowInk]

@TaylorBamford yes. Thanks to Steam Play Mac and PCs play together.

[SaberCowInk]

@GlobalConscience Yes. If you ahve a mac and buy L4D2 you can play it on your Mac and on your PC. You will also be able to play multiplayer CRoss-platform between Mac and PC. Get the Steam version. Don't go buy a retail version.

Also Portal 2 will have the ability to play together with people from Mac, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
