Running Final Fantasy XIV on Boot Camp

Hello everyone,


I bought the MacBook Pro 13" from late 2013, and I wanted to play on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on this occasionally. So, I installed Windows 7 thanks to Boot Camp, but when I start the game, after 5 minutes my Mac is very hot, and the ventilators are making a lot of noise, I'm so afraid that the computer crash or burn really, even if I putted the worst resolution for the game, so I leave the game very quickly.

Do I have to update anything? Maybe Boot Camp? Or something else?


Thanks in advance,


Cordially.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Windows 7

I think your MBP 13 is marginal for gaming video performance. It is working very hard to keep up with the games demands. There are not any upgrades for the video hardware. A 15" MBP has a discrete video card available the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M which would perform well.
