I have the WORST performance on my machine. In software mode it's fine, but in hardware, no matter what the settings, I get about 2 fps if there's even three or four other characters or monsters on screen at the same time. I'm running 10.2.6 on a 1.42 dual G4 with a Gforce 4 Ti card and 1 GB ram. This is the fastest mac configuration money can buy right now. Why the HELL am I getting such crappy framerates? It's a joke!
I run the UT 2003 demo on my machine at max settings and get, oh, around 120 fps even in the thickest action. I never, ever drop below 100 fps. With D2 I can't get ABOVE TWO FPS. Can anybody explain this to me? Anybody have any ideas why the performance is so slow? I've sent 7 emails to blizzard, and the nice mac support fellow, Alex (we're on a first name basis by now), has tried to help, but he simply said, in the end, that it's not very well optimized and that they're working on it. I hope they really are; though I doubt it. Two frames a second on a tricked out machine like this is a 299% enhanced damage joke. That's right. Cruel.
