devs don't care about us, that's why

Apple have no control over lazy devs

I play on the LOWEST possible settings (everything LOW/turned off), even lowered resolution. 10 fps is the best I can get nowadays (while playing 2v2 arena...), even though 25-40fps was average before.

> Edit: Few hours later, tried every possible option to increase the performance, but the game is basically unplayable. Seriously, I've no idea what game devs have done lately, but I can't do anything: explore maps, do events, play 2v2 PvP. Moreover, game started to crash very often.

same here. trying it on my mbp 2019 (i7, 16gb ram, ssd, dedicated gpu) AND my monster hackintosh (10900k, 5700xt, 64gb ram, ssd, etc). horrible performance, totally unplayable!. wow on the other hand, 60fps on high (ultra on hackintosh) in crowded areas

such a shame, devs please implement metal or do something

the game runs poorly on Windows, my hackintosh (10900k + 5700XT) and my mbp 2019 (i7) barley output 30fps in lion's arch. performance is a bit better in Windows (same machines) but still wouldn't advise you to play this game on Mac. WoW runs flawless at 60fps on high settings in crowded areas

i got the latest macbook pro (15-inch, 2016), 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 450 2GB and the game is running at 8-25 fps depending on the zone WITH ALL GRAPHICS SETTINGS ON LOWEST/LOW. resolution is full hd, everything disabled or put on lowest. please fix the game, this is not an experience i paid for getting all the expensions

the number has been increased to **21**, not 19
