Hey JonnyM,

I DLd it again last night from that previous link you posted, is the one you just posted now a newer version?!

FYI:
DLd original link
DLd link from post dated 01 July

Will DL it again anyway just to test.

Thanks for your effort on this mate, it is appreciated.

Cheers,

PIC

I don't think the link changes but the file contents does.

Cheers mate,

Yeh have DLd from latest link and still experiencing the lag issue.

Pity because other than that it runs and looks great, especially on my 27" Apple LED, 2560x1440!

I did have the lag you described earlier but this is now fixed, in the last update i got cpu usage down from 100% on 2 cores to avg 75% on 1 core with the lag gone and its now running really smooth on both my powerpc and intel macs.

How much ram do you have? also run the game in windowed mode with system monitor open and monitor the cpu usage to check system is not maxing out.

Hey JonnyM

These are my specs mate:

Mac Pro 2008 2 x 2.8 Quad
16GB 800's
ATI 5770 1GB
OSX.8.4

Ah, they may be it! Yeh I will try that.

How would I go about 'underclocking' for the game so-to-speak?

I normally run it through Bootcamp on Vista 64Bit on a separate internal HD and had no problems there. However, Bootcamp 4 (I am on version 5 now) only supports Windows 7 onwards... which I don't have and don't want to spend money on.

Also, using the 2nd internal HD for a scratch disk now.

Thanks for your help man!

Thanks for the updates,

I came here to see if there had been any progress on a Mac version so will definitely give this a go!

Found this, will give it a whirl.

I might be missing something but I don't think Jonny meant to have you limit cores. I think he just wanted you to open up the system monitor to see CPU usage while you're playing and get a screenshot to share.

Yeh I ran the Activity Monitor and was getting an average 100 percent also so did some searching on running older applications which led me to that.

Funny thing is I tested running with two cores which did remove the lag but unfortunately slowly returned?!

I tried running different amounts of cores but with no luck...

Yeh would rather just run as normal.

Will update to new version tonight. All part of the beta testing process!

Well, unfortunately I can't seem to get the game to run without the lag spikes...

Have tried just about every combination setup to no avail.

JonnyM, is there system log info I can provide you to see if it is my rig?! While game is running etc.

Its PB cvar checks, there is work in progress to offload then onto assist.
But I find it does not stop playability and is the same on windows.

Hey JonnyM,

Well mate I gave it a good nudge but have been unable to get the game to run smoothly enough to play on OSX.

As it happens, I installed Winblows 7 on a partitioned HD and the game runs like butter!

Appreciate the effort mate, just must be something to do with my rig aye!?

Cheers,

PICA.
