Unofficial alpha 66, weekly build

[Flamespike]

Here are the basic specs for reference.

Huh. All I know is that the Alpha is very under-optimized as of now. Your specs aren't great, but it should be able to run at least. 1 FPS seems more like a bug than anything else.

As I mentioned earlier in this topic, the mac version can run many times as slow as the windows version running under windows on the same mac computer, likely due to the OpenGL drivers on the mac side. It could be that given the lack of processing power on the Macbooks that this is the same problem, just amplified.

I'm running this one 66 with a mac 10.5.11 macbook running 1 gb of ram. I'm getting a resounding 1 fps max..... why is this?

What is your graphics card? (please click 'More info...' and 'Graphics/Displays'

I am not familiar with macs, but your specs seem kind of low to me. Other than what the others already said, you could try to lower the settings in the config.txt-file in the OG data folder like explained in the FAQ. Especially texture reduce should be increased (up to 4) and resolution (width/height) reduced.

2 things:
1. Macs tend to be able to run as effiecent with lower specs,
2. I have all the settings turned down

Alright, it's a pre NVIDIA 9400 Macbook, running an intel integrated graphics chip, which is decidedly underpowered. Until Overgrowth is optimized more to work on low-end machines, it will be difficult to do anything to make it run better, and it will probably always be fairly slow.

when inserting a rabbot and clicking, he does a kick animation and at the same time i get :could not find sound file : data/sounds/revolver.wav. please help, it is very annoying. i am on windows vista 32 bit.

[tomascokis]

Sigh, the openGL drivers on mac really suck.

I don't understand why apple doesn't put the effort in and bump the current implementation (2.1) up to the latest. I can get there on boot camp.

=(

EDIT

Although http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/ ... builds.ars looks like support might be on the way!

Because it's a mac..

Strange error when trying to load rabbot. Watch here.

2. Pressing 8 to spawn rabbot still causes a crash.
• However this time we have an error that might be useful:

I also have that error on this weeks build, where I didn't on last week's.
