[QUOTE="Jay, post: 267773, member: 504"] I find it really ironic that TPA works beautifully when I run it emulated through Windows on my Mac -- but the native Mac and Mac Steam versions don't work nearly as well. Evidently (from past posts) Farsight has been having trouble keeping Mac coders on board. With the horsepower the new Macs have plus the new GPUs and Metal, there's no lack of horsepower to run a pinball simulation. I have Zaccaria through Steam on my Mac and it runs glass smooth and looks stunning in 4k at 60 fps. Meanwhile, TPA on Mac has stair stepping visible on ramps, bumpers (anything curved) and poorly implemented lighting, even on the highest graphics setting. It's definitely not a problem with my Mac.
