I can't play Eve using a Retina Resolution and in Windowed Mode - I have to select one of those lower resolutions, but then it looks very blurry. Is there any solution to this? Fullscreen works fine, and running it in Windowed on an external display as well.

Has anyone tried running it with Parallels?

What isn't working in windowed mode for you? It works here, but I can't see the eve time clock because the taskbar at the top for the window can't be hidden so those few pixels push the window down and make the time hidden so I have to slide the window up to see it.

I briefly started the game via parallels and it seemed to work fine, but I'm on an iMac and I think playing this via parallels might be a bit too taxing.

The Problem is, when running in windowed mode, I have to select a resolution of 1440x856 but then everything is blurred, the native resolution would be 2880x1800 - but then a portion of the window get cuts off.

I run in Eve in windowed mode at a resolution of 1680x1050. I also switch my mac display to "scaled" at a resolution of 1900x1200 (More Space). This way the client fits within the screen size without being cut off at the borders.

I use the same setup, however I am able to choose the same resolution as the screen, but with reduced screen hight, so the menubar + window fits perfectly at max available width.

Can't tell you precise numbers as I am not at the machine at the moment.
