And tempers are flaring...
Yes guys, my poll was misunderstandable. The moving slowly-bit can be mistaken for the run-walk debate. Wasn't aware of that, I'll cry myself into sleep over it tonight. It's a performance issue.

Necromis, your computer is bigger than mine? Good for you. Be proud.

As I ...

So, to sum up: A high-level language that works for all major OS is being used to produce a game that is graphically as simple as Diablo 1 and the Baldur's Gate games were some 8 or 9 years ago - with a performance that is very poor for 1 out of 3 users, according to the poll of this post and the ...

Kwokkie, two notions about your contribution:

One: there are system requirements for all applications. Users check them out to see if they can run the application at all. If they are met, as with me and my Mac, I expect a smooth performance for my money.

Two: What is the point of a higher-level ...

Which part of "incredibly poor performance" eludes

Necromis: The exact problem, and a possible solution, are best described in the third post of the mac support forum "disappointingly slow". Sorry, I don't know how to add a link for that post in here.
That's what the problem is, apparently. And in six months, nothing was done?

Me again, brief after-thought: Perhaps the problem, it is a performance problem, is due to the fact that the game is made for Windows, Unix and Macintosh plattforms. Wouldn't be the first time us Mac folks get the snotty end of the bargain due to our minority status.
I do so hope this isn't the ...

Basilisk Wrangler, I already tried everything mentioned on the support board to speed things up. Did not work. And yes, my system and all my thingamagicks are updated. I'm afraid this is not a hardware problem, but something rather strange and disturbing in your code.

By the way, normal walk rate ...

FEEDBACK - almost enjoyed it.

Alright, here's my two cents after finishing the game.

1. Talk about a dungeon crawler!
Walking speed is the most crucial thing to fix right NOW. And I do not want to hear a thing about my PC (macintosh G4, OS 10.4) being too old. I was able to play Diablo II at full speed on it - and this here ...

PAAARTAAY!
But only if the developers manage to get rid of that walking bug, where each little sprite causes the game to slow down (E:B1).
More playable charaters, pleas, more classes, more options.

Oh, and get a levelling system that is a little less boring.
And monsters that randomly respawn.
And ...
