hello

consider this a cry for help ..

with the leagues moving on to 4.2 and more and more player populating 4.2 public servers the transition to 4.2 finally seems to begin..

the trouble for mac players - at least that's the way I see it - is that with the current build there is no way to play this game competitively .. even playing on pubs is embarrassing..

in 4.1.1 the solution to this problem was voidref's optimized build but voidref seems to be gone and it seems there is no one else to be up for the task ..

rjc862003's input was merged into urt's next build rather quickely ..same with p5yc0runn3r's dmahd build..

would fs be willing to listen to input from the mac community those of us who know how to optimize urt for the mac side of things?

so long

Thanks

okay... who do they talk to if they want to contribute?

as for troubles with the current build... take a look here, pretty much sums up what i am struggeling with ..

additionally the stuttering nikki was complaining about is an issue for the mac build as well ... i am familiar with this odd feeling from 4.1.1, even with the voidref's optimized build... the difference is this "fps drop like" feeling only occurs in certain spots on certain maps in 4.1.1 with voidref's build whereas in 4.2 it seems to happen 24/7...
what's interesting about this problem is that it can occur additionally to actual fps drops .. when i got too annoyed i set my max fps to 60 to avoid this chewinggum-like feeling but even with fps stable at 60 the stuttering still occured... to be honest i have no idea if this helps in any way with 4.2 ..

one last request... please tell me who your mac qa guy is .. or if you even got one...

thanks

Fenix already answered you in post above.

[KarlMariaSeeberg]

thanks for pointing that out : ) ... so he's doing the whole testing routine too? (not that i have the slightest idea how qa really works;)

i tried to pm ttimo once on a different subject and i have never gotten any response ...

to take a short cut here: what osx version/s are you guys using for 4.2 testing?
