Dryth'tor Lifecrafter Member # 7331	written Wednesday, September 20 2006 17:06 Profile Homepage #0 I have recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.7 (Hold your applause), and Geneforge 3 is running so slowly that it is pointless to play it any more. G1 is fine, G2 is fine. However, unless I find a way to get G3 to run faster, I am stuck without it until I purchase a more powerful laptop. Suggestions, anyone? -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com. Birds of a feather flock together.

I've had a few cases where the graphics files for the characters did funny things when there was an overlap as they moved around. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00

If I have anything running while playing Geneforge (or BoA, for that matter), it bogs down to the point of being unplayable. Other than that, I couldn't tell you, as I own a PC. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

Hopefully GF4 will also have a Universal version. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Dryth'tor Lifecrafter Member # 7331	written Thursday, September 21 2006 13:01 Profile Homepage #4 Sorry, corrupt files were the first thing on my mind when this happened after the upgrade. Also, I had previously used a utility called Activity Monitor to shut down all un-needed processes. Oh, and my laptop is a G3 iBook, somewhere between 6-8 years old. -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com.
