Here's a post I made in another forum regarding DII performance on Macs: Unfortunately, outside of using a 3dfx card in OS 9, software rendering is the only mode that provides consistent frame rates in both OS 9 and OS X with both ATI and NVIDIA cards. I believe it wasn't the cards that...

And that's exactly what I like about Diablo II.

Also, the faster your computer can process the graphics, then the faster it can process other aspects of the game such as physics, ai, sound, and especially input. The higher the framerate, the more accurate you can be with input. Try aiming with a game that averates 15-20 fps and a similar...

It's not shipping yet. It's still sitting in approvals afaik. Unfortunately, approvals can take a very long time, particularly if there are a number of parties that must write off on the port. :(

From what I've noticed in every game I've tried, shadows cause a significant performance hit, particularly volumetric shadows. I'd say that's the biggest performance hit out of the DS graphical settings. I haven't restarted my computer since 10.2.6 came out and all my games perform about the...

Things to keep in mind: Dungeon Siege is a game that doesn't necessarily require 30 fps min to be playable. DS is a fairly demanding game both CPU wise and with the video subsystem. The GeForce MX cards don't have some of the hardware features that would alleviate some of stress DS puts on...

I'm not a big fan of any xbox controller. I also just picked up an xbox (used from a coworker). I think the GC controllers are much more confortable and the PS2 ones are a good proven design. The Dreamcast controller is pretty confortable. But I can't stand the button placement on the xbox...

The developer mentioned that he found the cause of many of the OS X performance issues and that he fixed the issues before shipping off the final candidate last week.

In OS X it should just work unless your mouse drivers are causing issues. Which ones do you have installed? The Logitech ones? I mave an Mx700 but never bothered installing the included Logitech drivers. I went straight for USB Overdrive. If possible, see if you can disable the Logitech...

I do know what I'm talking about. I don't need to reread your post because I read it carefully the first time. I disagree with your opinion that it's often impossible to avoid PKers because I avoid PKers quite frequently. By often do you mean more than 50% of the time? If you're getting...

You obviously didn't read my message carefully. I think it's quite easy to avoid PKers. If you play smart you won't get PKed. I've had several games where people would join and go hostile on everyone. I just teleport back into town and wait it out, or if the PKer is particularly obnoxious, I...

Where did I claim I've never come across PKers? All I've said was I've never been killed by a PKer. I know how to avoid them. I have played in Hardcore and Softcore. It's not hard to avoid PKers as long as you're paying attention.

Noob? Heh, I've been playing DII since it first came out and have never been PKed outside of a duel. If you play smart, you won't get PKed. If someone goes hostile on you it's fairly obvious.

It's even easier to avoid the hackers...

Do you know how easy it is to NOT get killed by a PKer? I've played the game since it was first released and the only time I've been killed by a PKer was when I was dueling. I've never fallen victim to the sneaky PKer who comes along without me noticing. As long as you pay attention to what...

Try ejecting the disc after startup. I believe it's only checked right after you open the app.

It'd help if you supplied more information. Tell us everything you can about your system and the cards you're trying to use and whether the cards are mac specific.

Nope. You have to use OS 9 in some manner to install. As long as Macs ship with the ability to load Classic, creating an OS X native installer is low on Blizzard's priority list. The software restore disks may have an image you can mount that you could use to copy an OS 9 system folder. I'm...

Just play in software mode....

You can also enable cheats buy creating an autoexec.cfg file and placing it in the same file as the game data. In the .cfg file add the lines +set cheats 1 +set thereisnomonkey 1 Getting the cheats to work is then the same as what dixonbm listed but without having to type anything in the...
