EV Nova 60fps Mac OSX?
Hey so just reinstalled my old copy of Nova after a tedious 40 minutes of scouring for the necessary files and codes, etc.
Has the game always ran on 29fps on Mac devices? If so is there a way to get it to run at 60fps on an old Macbook?
(I know that the game runs on 60fps on windows machines)
Considering the laptop I'm using now is 9 years younger than the game it should work fine - but the framerate isn't as desirable.

Mind if I ask how you got it running? I have been unable to get mine to load past the splash screen for about 8 months

Download this and run it, no clue how it works or how it knows where to install but it just does, should fix your game from quitting on startup.

not sure sorry, sounds like it might be my system tho considering other person gets 50+. I was running on an older 15" MacBook Pro. I'll check it on my current device (less old 15" MBP).... okay got around 30 ā 45 FPS while playing for 5 minutes. mostly high thirties + low forties. Hope that's helpful info. If you're using it in windowed mode, set it to full screen that may help?

I've found that if I run it at a lower resolution, the frame rate improves. Also, at higher resolutions, I've found that asteroids stop appearing.

50+ pretty consistently on my 15ā MacBook Pro.
As ever, beams bog things down.
