Known Issues

Immidiate crash without any reason - For whatever reason, Razer synapse drivers will crash the game

Failed resetting Direct3D device objects - can be workarounded by manually setting game to fullscreen mode (FAQ)

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. Occurs on windows as well... Blame devs ;)

- distorted fonts

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

Ok, heres what you should do: Hold cmd then space which will bring up spotlight. Type production_Config.ini into the search field. You will get a list with results but you should choose the file with that exact name and open it. In there you will find various constants that you can change to modify the way the client behaves.

You should then change the value of texture_quality to a LOWER value where 0 is the highest graphics setting.
