[QUOTE="Pinbal, post: 226870, member: 5821"] [b]Runs great on a Mac running Windows[/b] Just wanted to point out that I have an apple certified refurbished early 2013 MacBook Pro with the nvidia card. Bought in February this year. Right out of the box, on my factory fresh machine, pinball arcade had slowdown issues in OS X . Every single table. I'd get into a game, then a couple minutes in the speed would drop to about a quarter of what it was. This would continue for another couple minutes, go back to full speed, and repeat endlessly. Btw, this happens even when I turn the video card completely off. Same results. HOWEVER!! A few months ago I installed Windows 8 with bootcamp on the same MacBook. Booting into Windows on the same machine, Pinball arcade runs perfectly. Full retina resolution, full graphics. Everything is crystal clear, beautiful, and full speed. Computer doesn't even break a sweat. This obviously shows that there is an issue with how the Mac version of the game interacts with OS X.
