In Response To: Man, the Frame Rate in Oni for the Mac is sad... (S'phtman)

: Jeez, the Macintosh version of Oni is far behind the PC Version.

: I rarely get over 20+ FPS, and it lowers to like 2 FPS. And this is on a
: PowerMac G4/500MP, 320MB RAM, and a full install. Oh almost forgot the ATI
: Radeon and V5/64MB.

: Now in UT, and Q3A I never drop below 50fps. Now tell me, a low end PC has
: better frame rates that a high-end Mac, isnt there something wrong here!?!
: What this means is, Bungie is slowly dropping the Mac developement for
: that PC junk. Now I am pizz'd.

Darn... I was hoping it was just me... I finally got my new Dual 533 G4 with 256 RAM and the Radeon card, so I put the demo on it... Man... I though that my old Wallstreet powerbook was just unable to keep up, but it looks like it's Oni if this new one can't do it. =(

Maybe it's an openGL thing???

: There better be a damn Updater to fix most of those Crashing problems, and
: the slow frame rate. This game isn't up to the Bungie Standard...
: otherwise its decent.

I've ordered the full version, so I'll make up my mind on it then.... but I'm probably going to have to agree. The game is very cool in it's concept and in the combat system... but if two badass macs like these can't play it at even 640X480 res with descent framerates, it's NOT a good product. Hell I get over 40 fps in UT with 32bit textures and everything on in 1024x768 most of the time.

But, I'll see what happens when I get the full version.

BTW: what's up with oni on Backorder through the bungie store?
