    Hmmm, my game is running great just like it did in the first phase and I'm running on ultra settings. Have you tried updating your video card drivers, defragmenting your hard drive and cleaning it?

    I'm running better than first phase. I would get some pretty bad screen tearing when scrolling and now it's perfectly smooth I also had bad interface lag in menus which is also fixed.
    I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

    It happened to me twice *before* phase 2. No idea what caused it. Framerate was much slower by no clear reason, but a restart and it worked ok again.

    The same. When I try to join/create, then click 'cancel', it doesn't cancel(the create/join button becomes grayed out). Also...the 3v3/4v4 buttons were removed?

    Performance on the mac is absolutely terrible compared to windows. I tried running this game on my macbook pro with a 512mb 9600GT. It sucks bad! And this card is not supposed to. I have yet to install windows on here, but if you look at benchmarks with steam games, mac users literally get half the frame rates as you would on windows on the exact same hardware. Apple is just no good with graphics drivers though they say they are trying to fix it. If you want good performance, you will have to install Windows.

    I'm having some frame rate issues as well. I'm not sure what's the problem.

    Anyone else see the geysers purple without any texture on them?

    I have a gaming PC downstairs, it runs without problems. Actually it does have a few now, I used to run SC2 on ULTRA everything, now I have to run it on HIGH for my gaming PC.
