How's Oolite on a MacBook?

Post by Wiggy »

I've heard much poo-pooing of the Intel Graphics chip in the MacBook, as opposed to the MacBook Pro.

I'm considering buying a MacBook (when the 2nd gen comes out later in the year), but don't want my Oolite experience to suffer!

Anyone here running Oolite on a MacBook? What's it like? What sort of framerates are you getting at high object counts?

(Not sure if this is the correct place to discuss this, but I figure it comes under the "Testing" category.)
You came in that? You're braver than I thought!

MacBook 1.83 with 1.25 Go of RAM. Don't know the FPS but it is really smooth, even with ships and missiles dogfighting all around :D

You can check your FPS by pressing Shift+F (if you want to :) )

Well, I actually did that then jumped to an anarchy system to get as many pirate ships as I could, but once the action began I forgot to look at the fps count :oops:
