Gameplay Help and Discussion - [OSX] Unofficial Path of Exile port - 30/12/2018 status update - Forum

i've just started using this on my mid 2012 macbook air (13") and FPS drops to 1-4 and often freezes whenever fighting monsters. I know its not really a performance laptop but its higher spec than some of the machines in these comments. Any suggestions how i can improve this? i've tried lowering the graphics way down in production_config.ini but it didn't help	Posted by pudsie256 on May 26, 2016, 9:43:12 AM Quote this Post

I log in, the rain and everything on the home screen works perfectly, then when I log into a char and it starts to load in the map, it opens and i get about 2 frames and it freezes and then crashes, and help?	Posted by iEatBabyLegs on Jun 4, 2016, 1:37:13 AM Quote this Post
I installed the game last night and played for a few hours without any problems. I had a blast! Thanks to everyone who helped make PoE playable on Macs. The thing is, now the game crashes as soon as I approach the log-in screen. Does anyone have a solution for this?	Posted by Riddle_Me_Ree on Jun 4, 2016, 12:53:47 PM Quote this Post
People should know PlayonMac is a good solution also. It uses WINE but is very easy to set up. You don't need to run bootcamp and boot into windows. Just FYI. For someone without Bootcamp it is great. Plays PoE perfectly. You are only limited by CPU and GPU so may get some FPS drops depending. I can play on an older MacBook with Intel Iris 6100, and 27.GHz i5.	Posted by Cinder_X on Jul 14, 2016, 2:47:47 AM Quote this Post
" k3npo wrote: I'm on a MacBook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2014) 2.8 Ghz Core i7, 16GB DDR3 RAM NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048MB I crash regularly if there are too many mobs on the screen or too many effects from the mobs. Especially frustrating during major boss fights. I've tried lowest settings and will see if the crashes persist but it's very frustrating. The worst part is how long I then have to wait while it re-loads the game from scratch. Do most folks prefer to dual boot instead for better performance? I'm strongly considering that. I run POE on a late 2012 iMac, 2.9 Ghz Core i5, 8Gb DDR3, Nvidia GT 650m running OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) via Windows Bootcamp with Win 10. The game runs fine and I rarely have any problems with screen freezes or crashes. There used to be a problem with a long loading screen at startup (4-5 minutes) but since the Prophecy update that has changed and now the game loads in under 20 seconds.

Tried a few different settings like -gc 1, --nosound but still have 5-25 FPS. No sound definitely helps but I really like the sound haha. On Yosemite 10.10.5, i7 2.8Ghz, 16GB, NVidia GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB. Am I missing something magical to get "decent" FPS?
