Heavensward : Mac Osx Tips (Improve Performance/FPS)

[Dilly2084]

Hello,

First off thank you for the tips and support pages to make things better.

I have tried to fine tune my nvidia card for better performance (using a 2015 Macbook Pro with retina display) and it seems to have worked when I first got the game at launch.

I'm readily getting 35-40fps and can play at times up to 4-5hours non stop, the only thing that I'm noticing is that my graphics start to become glitchy, in the sense that all of a sudden text like names or items on the view screen start to stretch and then the graphics start to display an overlay of what I just saw, I'll try to grab a screen cap of the next time it happens, but my only resolve is to just minimize back to my dock and then reopen (I play in windows mode because in full screen I get horrible lag - about up to 20fps), but window mode doesn't bother me as I have it on my 32 inch monitor and it stretches quite nicely on it.

Hey, you're welcome, & about the issues with the glitchy graphs, imo it's an issue with the apple updates not even downloading the correct drivers/updates for the graphs, i had to install manually my Radeon drivers from Radeon website, it's probably the same issue with Nvidia. Also if you're on an old OS (leopard/mountain lion & especially maverick) i found that installing yosemite solved some problems with graph performances, not sure if 2015 macs are on maverick or Yos
