Known Issues
FPS Drop/Lags - When casting spell, encountering rare mobs, the framerate spikes - 2 causes:
OSX bug which is responsible for longer loading screens and unfortunetely there is no known solution for that.
Game is not preloading some monster effects = this issue is known to GGG, and according to this they are working on solution.
Game may open in small window, solution below.
The launcher may take a long time to allocate resources (up to 30 minutes) on first install
The port inherits the rare bugs which may occure on windows, so there will be crashes and/or graphical glitches.
The port is know not to run on some configuration by default with D3ERR_INVALIDCALL error (possible workaround below in FAQ)
Loading times are longer - this is OSX bug and unfortunetely there is no known solution for that.
4.0+ only - The game is little brighter than in other versions.
4.1+ only - The game is not compatible with AMD cards running on Snow Leopard and Lion

On some system, some window resolution will result into offseted mouse. Currently there are three workarounds

resolution_width=1024
fullscreen=false
