Hello!

Just recently found-out about this service (AA 2.5) and decided to try it on my PowerPC (G4) on which the game worked officially before (some time back), but now it isn't up to the challenge and just pauses and freezes a lot.

Therefore I gave it a try on a Macbook Pro (Intel) with 256mb of video and an i5 processor (mid 2010). The game now 'seems' to work perfectly no matter high or low graphic setting are, but strangely I can't get kills as easily as I used to, and it's now nearly impossible unless the enemy is a complete noob or can't see.
I've discovered a way to check the fps (frames per second) of the game and discovered that it's usually between 20-40, but during action is usually under 20. I asked my friend who runs the game in Windows using a PC and he says he's getting numbers in their 60s no matter the situation (normal graphics)
I am also quite confident that the problem is not with the internet as I've asked people and they say that my ping is around 20 most of the time.

Therefore my question is: "Is it just me who simply needs practice or it's the fact that I'm playing the game in this way and my computer simply can't process all of the data quickly enough and therefore I see the enemy after they see me thus I have a lot less time to react and I die?".

Please Help! Thank You!

I'm now sure (according to the game statistics) that the problem is not the connection as my ping is usually around 20 (definitely below 50) and no packets are lost or delivered unequally (no jitter).
Another thing is that the game only really needs 32mb of video, at least that's what stated in the requirements and what I have is 256mb, thus more than enough.

I know that installing Windows is the best solution but that's not currently possible.

I'm just hoping that some Mac user like me would show-up and tell what their experience is.

Also what do you mean by "responsive issues"?

By responsive issues I mean that if you don't have the proper frames, you can't respond in-game as fast because you're getting delayed info on the screen. I have a 8600GT with 256MB of RAM and that's really not enough for the game. Some maps will use more than 256MB of video memory. I would say the minimum RAM is 320MB or 512MB for highest detail.

If it's a laptop, not much you can do. If it's a desktop, upgrading the video card would help but Mac video cards are expensive.
