MacOS version =)
« on: November 28, 2008, 07:34:31 am »
muahaha.. other than being quite happy that a mac version has finally come out.. trying to figure something out.

currently only running the demo version... but would like to change the initial configuration that I set it for.. ie: framerate/vsync stuff?  it's lagging a little bit and I wanna switch it up to see if I can get it running more smoothly.. anyone know where I could change the config? i took a browse through the "package contents" but didn't see anything that made me go "ah ha!"...

Hold "option" when double clicking on the app to run it.

sweeet, it worked! thanks! 

now.. i've got an old gen macbook.. which should O opt out of first, to lessen the lag.. Frame buffer effects?  can't say i'm a hardware techie, so not too sure about those kinda stuff.. looking up "vsync" online tells me that I probably want to keep That one on.. and thanks in advance to anyone who's got some advice!

Definitely opt out of framebuffer effects if you're looking for the best framerates: framebuffer effects are pretty ripples and reflections, but wreak havoc on old computers. I've never noticed any difference with or without vsync, but I would leave it on, considering its description. *you're welcome*  :D

I actually don't even like how the frame buffer effects work in vista. I'm not even sure if it's only a problem with vista, but when you jump out of the water, and back in, the screen outside of the water area also ripples when obviously it shouldn't since there is no water. it should only ripple under-water. Just an annoying visual that I have while playing and modding in my Aquaria on vista 64.
