Thanks for looking into this issue!


I'm sorry to report I still have the problem. In fact I had never touched this anti-alias setting at all and as MadAxeMan says it's off when you install it. Anyway, I also tried turning it on and then deleting the settings file in Keychain Access (as there is no such settings file before you once have turned it on). Then I even reinstalled the complete game from the App Store. Again trying it out with the default settings, then turning on anti alias before I again went to Keychain Access to delete it. Didn't matter.


The thing is, even at the lowest settings: detail level low, anti alias off and post processing off, the game still have disturbing intermittent slow-downs. The game is ridiculously fast, almost too fast at the lowest settings, but it will still go into slow-motion from time to time. Just for clarity: It's also no problem using the high detail level and post processing on, or anti-alias at a decent level – the game will run just fine **until** the **intermittent** slow-downs occur.


Stuart, I've some questions for you in order to get to the core problem:


1) Have you tried playing the game on a MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013) with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M? I have not experienced the intermittent slow-downs on older computers (2008 and 2011 models) – the 2008 MacBook Pro (with OS X Mavericks) is running just fine with post processing turned off and the 2011 MacBook Pro (with OS X Lion) is running all good no matter what setting. I think this problem with intermittent slow-downs is related to the graphics in MacBook Pro Retina. Perhaps all retina models or just the latest from late 2013.


2) Have you played the game for some time? It will be obvious during a game you play for some minutes but if you only play it for say a minute or so the intermittent slow down will perhaps not have showed up yet.


3) Have you tried the game with the beta version of OS X 10.9.3? It's said it will include new graphics drivers. Perhaps this will solve it.


I'd appreciate any answers. Also, it would be interesting to hear if users Megahurtz and Armin Ruoff in this thread experience any improvements regarding the intermittent slow-downs as they also have the latest MacBook Pro Retina. Sadly I doubt it. :-( Armin also reported that it works just fine in Windows running on the very same computer.
