HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[Blorris]

Heya,

I got this working on my 2007 Mac Book pro, intel 2.2 core duo, 2G ram, GeForce 8600 GT. It's really nifty and thanks for the good work! Now its just like eq mac, except on an authentic classic server! My one comment is that it seems to run slow in a weird way. the framerate is fine, but its like my toon runs slower, casts slower, even jumps slower, than on my PC. For instance, when casting a spell, the casting time slider will go down slower than on my PC, and the spell will actually land with the slider still not finished yet - as though the server knows it should land then, but my end is displaying things too slowly! Anyone else get this? Anything to do about it?

thanks

It sounds like EverQuest doesn't have window focus? Although it should since you're playing it.. What is your ping?

70ish when on my broadband, don't think that's it. Oddly, 170 ping on my tethered android is feeling better in terms of this "video slowdown" problem. Maybe coincidence :>

Oh, could this be a dual-core issue? Says "slow movement" can be a symptom of it in the other thread.

It wouldn't hurt to try, there's a dual core fix option in there. I thought that was mostly characterized by warping/intense moments of speed but you should definitely try it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
