Character Runs Slower on Mac

[Vandil]

What model MacBook Pro?

I've run EQ on an Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro (dual booting Windows 7 64bit with macOS Sierra) and sometimes on my Late 2009 Mac Mini (dual booting Windows XP 32bit with macOS El Capitan). Both seem to handle the game fine in Old World and Kunark zones. Haven't tested them out in Velious or in raid situations yet. But so far so good.

At the time, my MacBook Pro had a 500GB HDD (bootcamp volume for Windows was 40GB) and I had 8GB of RAM installed. This model MacBook Pro can still be opened and upgraded, so I have since upgraded this to a 1TB SDD and 16GB of RAM, but haven't gotten around to reinstalling Windows yet, so I'm relying on my Mac Mini for now.

If you can upgrade your MacBook's hardware, I recommend doing so.

If you can't upgrade the hardware, then Windows 10 might be running extra stuff that is slowing things down. Try to find what's running and see if it can be turned off, otherwise, try a 64-bit flavor of Windows 7.
