![]() ![]() ![]() So before we go any further, back up everything. If you’re happy using batch scripts to toggle file attributes and manually partitioning your OS drive, then this lot might help – but messing around with disk partitions and unsupported filesystems is a good way to end up with an unbootable laptop and a lot of bad mojo. If you try any of this and you lose all your files, I’m not going to help you – and neither are Apple, Microsoft or Dropbox. The killer feature of exFAT here is that both Windows 10 and macOS can read and write it natively, but it doesn’t have any of the file size or volume size restrictions of older interoperable formats like FAT32.Ĭaveat: this is all completely unsupported. The secret sauce that made it all work is a relatively new file system called exFAT. It took a bit of tweaking but I think I’ve managed to get it working – here’s how. And they store exactly the same files – so much so that Dropbox actually became my default sync mechanism for getting files from Windows into macOS and vice versa.īeing a huge nerd, I thought it would be fun to kick off 2017 by completely repaving my laptop, and I wondered if there was some way to store my Dropbox folder, and other big things like my music library, on a shared partition that both operating systems could use. I have about 40Gb of stuff in Dropbox, which means a 40Gb Dropbox folder on my NTFS Windows partition, and another 4Gb Dropbox folder on the ExtFS macOS partition. My MacBook Pro has a 500Gb SSD, which sounds like a lot, but once you’ve got two operating systems it’s surprising how quickly you start running out of space – and one of my biggest frustrations was having two separate Dropbox folders. I’m also a huge fan of Dropbox – I use Evernote for text documents (notes, talk ideas and lyrics), and Dropbox for just about everything else. NET developer, I use Bootcamp to run Windows 10, Visual Studio and SQL Server, but I also boot into macOS almost daily for things like audio recording and video editing using Logic Pro and Adobe Premiere. My main laptop for the last few years has been a 15” Retina MacBook Pro. I didn’t use Parallels or other streaming services.Sharing a Dropbox folder using Bootcamp and exFAT Posted by Dylan Beattie on Your MacBook Air 2017 works for D2R! Not sure about M1 chip (I read that it’s impossible due to no Bootcamp). ![]() Hope other MacBook users find this useful. I believe you will experience lag, but if you really just want to level up a bit, mf at your own pace, play mostly in 1-man game, it’s totally possible. ![]() I tried moving around and killing monsters and it works. I even play in windows mode with low resolution even though I can play in full screen. If you are wondering about the D2R settings on this Macbook Air 2017, i5, 8gb ram, 40gb windows partition, Intel HD graphics → everything is set to low / off. It’s just annoying to keep ignoring the error every time you launch D2R. Just ignore it, because D2R can run already. This time, the game will launch, but a system error will pop up, stating that you need to update your intel drivers. The intel website will detect your system and automatically suggest a driver for you to install and update.Īfter installing the updated drivers, run D2R again. Solution is to go to google and search for ‘Intel Graphics Update’. Reason is that the Intel Graphics card is too weak to run D2R. Once D2R is installed in your thumbdrive, you have to go to Bnet and choose to scan for games in the drive that your thumbdrive is assigned to. The thumbdrive that I used is 32gb, free space 31gb, just enough for D2R. Once you have installed Bnet, choose to download D2R (assuming you already own it) into the thumbdrive that you insert into your MacBook. I installed Battlenet on the Windows partition, about 300mb. Once Windows partition is created, you will notice that about 16gb is used up as system files in the Windows partition in your MacBook, how can the remaining 24gb run Battlenet and D2R? The answer lies in thumbdrive. This can be done using Bootcamp assistance. Nonetheless, I decided to try.įirst, you need to make sure your MacBook Air 2017 (mine is i5, 8gb ram, 128gb storage, Intel HD Graphics) has a windows partition. I googled and found out that no one has proven or successfully showed that they can play D2R on a 2017 MacBook Air with way below min. If you are looking for a solution on how this can be done, read on.įirstly, I was motivated to want to run D2R on my MacBook because my i7, MX150 graphics card laptop is dying and I do not want to purchase another PC just to play D2R. I wanted to share my method and confirmation that D2R can run on these specs: It’s my first time writing a forum post in Blizzard ever. ![]()
