Recently I purchased the mac version of Baldurs Gate 2. I know my ibook G3 700Mhz isn't excactly a "performace beast" in the gaming category, so I thought it shouldn't have any problems with a infinity engine based 2D game.
But unfortunally the opposite is true. Baldurs Gate 2 OSX is sluggish like a nightmare. More than 5 characters and some effects on screen and the action slows down to a crawl. Normally I wouldn't make a buzz about bad performance, but BGII is my favourite game and it would be great to experience it "on-the-go".
My system:
ibook white G3 700MHz (purchased 2003)
640MB RAM
System: OSX 10.3.2
Things I tried to correct the problem.
Full (2.6 GB) installation
Turned of 3D acceleration
Switched the display mode to 16bit ingame
Disabled 32bit textures
Nothing could stop the sluggish behaviour.
Did anybody experienced the same problems? I dunno... Whats the problem? My specs are (high) above the minimum system requirements.
on a sidenote: The game was ported by macplay and is OSX native, I am not trying to run the game in classic mode.
