| Summary | 0000907: Mac OS X builds: Run in Rosetta option doesn't stick/work | ||||
| Description | The option "Run in Rosetta" in the File Info doesn't stick when chosen. Upon closing the Info window the setting is lost. Judging from frame rates I get when playing FS2 on my Intel iMac the setting isn't doing anything at all. | ||||
| Additional Information | Checked file permissions and ownership for the respective folder. Should be working and is working with other apps as expected. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

It shouldn't be needed actually. The binary and included frameworks are universal and anything else it uses should be Apple provided (hence either native or also universal). There should be nothing there which would need/require translation by Rosetta, which is probably why the option doesn't stick. What is your system specs and what sort performance are you getting now? |

Without response I'm guessing this isn't a real issue. Closered. |

Sorry taylor, been on vacation, couldn't answer. My specs are: iMac Intel 1,83Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, stock ATI Radeon Mob. x1600 w/ 128MB, OS X 10.4.6, all patches applied. Tested all recent FS2 builds 3.6.7 and 3.8.8 delta. Universal performance is steady 60 fps with all settings maxed, alleged Rosetta performance is 60 fps as well. The last non universal build I found on my hard drive (fs2-open 3.6.7, September 2005) is delivering around 23 fps -- so I guess that's what I should be getting with Rosetta. Thanks |

By default it (now, didn't have this until recently) will sync to verticle refresh. The max of 60 fps is the tell-tale sign that it's on v-sync. The games internal FPS cap is 120 fps so just add "-no_vsync" to ~/Library/FS2_Open/data/cmdline_fso.cfg and you should stop hitting the v-sync ceiling and just hit the games internal cap instead. Turning off v-sync does cause issues for some people (including me) so it's on by default. If you turn it off and then start having issues with the game stuttering or other strange performance issues such as that then the lack of v-sync is likely the cause. |

Closing again. This isn't a bug or code problem, just how it works, since Rosetta shouldn't be doing anything here anyway. Closered. |
