    I am not mad about this. I just prefer to have the game on Mac OS so I can erase the Windows OS. And it appears that, according to my WoW experience on both OS, game runs more smoothly under Mac on Macbook than a bootcamped Windows. That's the reason why I was so hyped.

    Buys Mac.
    Gets upset because it's not meant for gaming...welp...

    Also, they at least gave you a Mac go.
    It may or may not be as good as PS4/PC but it's something.
    Take it or leave it.

    Really, you don't even need a Mac for that. They both work just fine on my PC ^^

    No need to apologize. I'm frustrated too. Square thought a Cider layer would be adequate for Mac gamers. Boy were they wrong. With the Cider layer, it's as you say, it's a third class treatment. The PS and Windows versions are native. Why shouldn't the Mac version be? Because Square doesn't have programmers that know their way around OS X Cocoa and OpenGL?

    We paid $60 dollars for a product and it performs less than adequate on a wide array of Macs. On the store, it says right up front, once we use the registration code, we can't get a refund. Our $60 entitles us to complain.

    Something from 2012 and it being a laptop isn't going to run the game that well.

    Just to be clear, these complaints aren't arising because "Macs suck". The Mac client is just beyond atrocious.

    I have the Mac client (ARR/HW bundle), as well as the Windows client (ARR only).

    Running the Mac client at 1680x1050 resolution I was getting about 10-15 frames per second. Sometimes up to 20.

    Running the Windows client, in Windows, running in a Parallels virtual machine ON TOP OF OS X, I was getting 30-35 frames per second at 1920x1200. (So I'm STILL in OS X, but running an entire virtualized Windows environment as well -- not just a wrapper.)

    Something is very broken.

    I have to say those people simply cannot understand how bad the performance is. We are not arguing or justifying that the game should be run better on Mac or Mac OS is superior than other platforms. Even if we got a slightly more acceptable result, we would not have complained. This is more than just 'bad' performance.
