How to improve mac os gameplay

[FerdinandTank 31]

NOTE:  This was before of the latest patch of new power, this may not valid any more and may break your game. I hadn't test it on the new wt version, use at your own risk (always backup your config.blk)

 

Hello! in the latest patches I experienced bad performance on my MacBook pro including stuttering(even with 50 fps), freezes, and general a bad game experience. 
My Mac specs:

 

 - Model Name: MacBook Pro Late 2013

 - Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i7

 - Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz

 - RAM: 16 GB

 - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

 

In order to greatly improve the performance, I updated the config.blk and practically all my issues were gone, except for the occasional stuttering. Here I share with you my config.blk so my fellow mac master race players can stop the pain

config.blk (always make a backup of your current config.blk):

Very Interesting. Thank you. I have an iMac 2.7 GHz intel Core i5 with 4GB memory and the troublemaker AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB graphic card. Do you think I can try to update my config.blk?

Create a backup of your current config.blk and give it a run, worst case it don't work and your revert your config.blk to your backup one, best case it improves your gameplay experience

Hi FerdinandTank,

 

Thanks a lot for sharing your config!

 

Before using your config i had a lot of freezes on ±60FPS, now everything is fixed and became smooth, even FPS increased to 160+

 

My specs: 

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)

CPU: 2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7

RAM: 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

GPU: AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GB

Haven't been able to touch this game for almost a year...up until now. It works better than ever now with your fix! thank you for sharing this!! Ever since OS Catalina was released i had to stop, the game ran horribly.

Ferd, can you list the edits you made to the file?

[_DrStrangelove_ 10]

Hi Ferd,

dumb question I'm sure - where do I find the config.blk file? And how do you replace it? Just cut & paste over the existing one?

Hello. I have another problem, because....

Every time before the 2nd battle, it would load the start screen in the battle, the game freezes, it varies, but it usually appears from the 2nd day after the download, (the first day the game runs very well at least). I tried to solve this by exiting after every battle, but then the game froze in the summary or when loading into the menu. (i7, 16 GB ram, 1500 MB nvidia 2016 late mac pro)

Ive been having the same issue, it either freezes while im in que or when i exit a battle.

That is an eternal problem that you have not solved for many months since they changed the graphics engine and as they are slow to solve it, I do not see much solution.
