curlyboy Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Here's a list of Mac specific changes: • Added support for Multi-Threaded OpenGL on Intel Macs running OS X 10.4.8 or higher. Depending on hardware, scene and graphicalsettings, this can raise frame rates up to a factor of 2X. • Improved video hardware detection and default settings, especially with Intel video. • Vertex Animation Shaders have been disabled for systems with Intel video. • Improved iTunes key-binding feature for smoothness and track name display. • Fixed a bug where Tutorial Tips would not be marked as viewed correctly on PowerPC Macs. • Fixed a rare crash bug in the audio code. • Improved support for Weather Shaders. • Added support for changing the mouse sensitivity in WoW. Previously, the Mac version ignored the value from the slider in the Interface Options dialog. http://www.macgamefiles.com/detail.php?item=19195 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35045-world-of-warcraft-201-released/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 The game is still slow compared to its windows counterpart if you enable full screen glow and FSAA...

Tush Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I havent tried WoW on my hackie, but as far as I remember you had problems with games on your Pc before. As for me, I didnt. Mac games are fast as hell on my machine (P4 3Ghz). Dont have any OpenGl prob.

errandwolfe Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have NO complaints with speed. It used to be when I was in cities it would get a bit sluggish, but after the 2.0.1 update WoW absolutely flies! I am able to listen to iTunes, play WoW, and run a Windows XP VM in Parallels all at the same time.
