Performance has gone down the drain

[imdrunkontea]

if anything, I feel performance has gotten better...

[RainbowToeSocks]

Yeah, on my mac it lagged beyond all belief at medium and still lagged and froze from time to time when i set everything to low

Before the beta went down it was running perfect at medium and fairly well at high

Maybe its an issue with the latest patch and mac computers

I am now playing with everything on low, even textures just so that I can get the game to run smoothly.

In Phase 1, I ran High textures, high models, ultra effects, ultra physics, high post processing, and medium scenery.

Anyone know what is causing this? I'm on a Mac OS X 10.6.4, apparently the latest service pack has driver issues?

Do these:
Update your OS, graphics drivers, sound drivers and the equivalent of DX on mac.
Make sure you set the settings on low from the default options available and do not custom create them, because it will slow down the game for several games.

After all this, you still experience problems contact Blizzard tech support.

My graphics card ran great during phase 1, I would run along the edges of High and Ultra. I would actually have problems if I would try to play it on anything lower. However, on Phase 2, its totally backwards.

I am currently upgrading my drive, lets hope this will fix it.

Your hard-drive? o_O

That seems ... odd ...

That won't really change the performance I think - it is mostly dependent on CPU/GPU/RAM power/amt. You'd do better upgrading those.


I don't think there'd be a significant improvement if you were upgrading from PATA to SATA. I could be wrong though.

Could you be less like one of those Indian Tech Support specialists.

Lol? What do you want him to do, Wankey? Get on his knees? :P

That's a bunch of decent advice he gave.

Mine is awesome on max settings. Before, it would stutter a bit when a lot of units were on screen. Optimization must have been tweaked during the down-time.

Now, my frame rate is perfect and so far hasn't hanged a bit. And that is with only one 9800 GT.

So do lots of Indian Tech Support agencies for people who don't know what they're doing.

Do you want me to restart my computer as well?

Stop being so immature Wankey.
