Greetings fellow Mac users,
I'm not sure if this is widely known or not, so I thought I'd post it just in case. I accidentally discovered a way around the intolerable slowdown that is running D2 (Carbon) in full-screen mode under OS X: just run the game in "windowed mode" (in other words, hit command-M so that D2 runs in its own window, and you can still see the Finder). It is every bit as responsive as it was under OS 9.
I e-mailed Blizzard support about this, so that they could put the hint on their site, but of course the only reply I got was "try running the game under OS 9." Sigh. *bangs head against wall*
Hope that is helpful to a few of you out there!
Cheers,
Hawkmoon
