I wonder if there are any plans to improve game engine performance on OSX. It never seems like a high priority. I understand Windows is 80%[1] of the market but still.
[1] Number pulled out of my butt - I've no idea the exact figure.
- knodi123 11y agoYeah, I have a modern macbook pro, but nothing I do on here sucks battery faster or makes the fan noisier than playing Civ 5.
- distances 11y agoIt's not only OSX/Linux, the Windows version is a bit embarrassing with its performance and graphics glitches too. I really hope they're using a different game engine for this one. Civ5 late games with massive maps are very tedious to play even with a beefy gaming desktop.
- joshschreuder 11y agoI think the AI turns are quite CPU bound with the current engine, so I agree. Late game end turns take forever to complete.
- acdha 11y agoLast time I profiled it, most of the execution was in vsprintf. I'm pretty sure the answer is just “nobody put time for that in the budget”, as with multiplayer support.
