Surprised to hear about the problems people are having. I was genuinely giddy with the new patch because performance seems much better and my cooling fan never bothered to turn on past 2200rpm. Major improvement, since it was always pegged at 6200rpm on the previous version.
This is on my laptop screen, not an external screen. I will check later how it runs on my large screen.
My settings:
Anti-Aliasing: Medium
Shader Quality: Low
Everything else: High
Resource Cache: ON
HDR: ON
All effects: ON
Fullscreen: ON
My OS:
MacBook Pro
13-inch, Early 2011
2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Mac OS X 10.9.3

Working great with minimal fan -- 3150rpm -- in fullscreen mode on this laptop driving a 1920x1200 external display. Hope you can resolve the issues others are having without changing a thing! Great work.

I've gone around this by just dragging it into the Applications folder manually, no big deal, but it comes across as very unprofessional and entry-level when the installer itself isn't vetted enough for issues like this. If I was a brand new player starting today, this would be a huge red flag in relation to Mac support and integration.

I agree -- the new user experience for the typical Mac user, who is used to a high degree of integration and ease of use, is sub-optimal. IIRC, when I installed a month or so ago, I had all sorts of trouble getting the darn thing to download and run the client the first time. I think that's mainly because the installer/launcher app is not certified by Apple's "gatekeeper" from a security perspective.
That said, the performance improvements in Kronos are very large, at least judging by the greatly reduced CPU usage, which translates into a nice cool CPU that requires less hot and noisy cooling fan action... |
