Hi, here's the spec on my MacBook Pro:

2.66GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT330M
JAVA SE 1.6.0

Game is played on low settings, and generally 'ok'. However, my FPS takes a massive drop in places like the Arenas, or where there are multiple gunpuppies, shock/flame traps to the point where the game just stutters and i am unable to do anything. Because of this, i have to leave my party every time we enter the arena or other high enemy concentrated areas. Any ideas?

Ironically, its been reported that running the game in a Windows emu on top of OSX actually runs the game better then it does natively.

I think that's less ironic and more poetic justice.

I usually try to avoid dual booting or running an emulator on my macbook. I just hope three rings would take note of this issue and implement a fix in the next patch. Maybe a Mac compatibility option? It just sucks that i have to leave my party after the crossroads, where more crowns/heat are earned because of the arena or someone who wants to do danger zone. >.>
