Quake Live Snart For Mac
I have a new iMac. Ati rage xl agp 2x driver for mac. I have been playing Quake Live. When I play I get either 85 fps, or a weird effect where the framerate starts at 125, then drops to 85fps and builds up again to 125 fps. Changing the screen resolution to 400x300 produces the same result.
The game, which is a Web-based re-creation of the 1999 classic Quake III Arena, went into public beta for Windows in February, with promises of coming to the Mac and Linux in due time. Quake Live - From the legendary series that founded the online shooter genre comes the most exciting, energetic, and fast-paced shooter on the Internet. Play against players around the world in over 100 arenas, and a dozen game modes, in one of the most competitive shooters online today.Welcome to Quake Live Fast, and furious action. Frag or be fragged in the arena. Quake Live has now gone standalone and does not support MAC or Linux! Very disappointed with I.D. For this, I have been playing it for years on a mac platform. As promised last week at QuakeCon, id Software has now added Mac and Linux support for their browser based free-to-play first person shooter Quake Live. In their release notes, they mention that for now Mac support is confined to Apple's Safari browser but they hope to have Firefox Mac support up.
So the machine is render bound. I thought this was odd, so I ran quake on the same machine under bootcamp running Windows 7. I get a rock solid 125 fps and a better connection over wireless.
My Quake is configured correctly on both systems (ie. Com_maxfps etc.), I use Chrome as my browser on both systems. So the question are: • What exactly is stopping the Mac performing as well as Windows? • Is there a way to improve the Macs performance? The problem: Part of the problem is that Quake Live is running in a web browser.
Browsers these days have even more 'responsibilities' than previous ones. A browser has lots of background tasks such as monitoring RSS feeds, garbage cleanup, cache management and other I/O intensive tasks.
Most browsers don't have direct hardware access either. Another issue is the fact that too many developers for Mac OS X don't optimize their ports. The best example of that is Adobe's Flash. Its not optimized nor does it really use CoreAudio, CoreImage, CoreVideo, QuickTime or OpenGL, all of which do have direct hardware access.
Possible solution: You should consider using a single site browser such as to run Quake Live. Fluid runs a minimal WebKit browser with all the plugins available, so you should be able to run Quake Live in it. Since Fluid is WebKit based, it will also share your cookies with Safari and other WebKit browsers, so you won't have to login again or set any other cookie or local storage-based settings again. I think QuakeLive has direct access to the hardware as it installs a plugin which runs in a separate window. I think Quake Live is isolated from the work the browser is performing.

As i mentioned in the question the main problem is why it runs faster on Windows than on the mac using the same computer (via bootcamp) and the same browser (chrome). For completeness I have tried Quake Live in different browsers on the Mac and it runs the same speed, about 83-85 fps (slower than Windows). – Dec 14 '11 at 8:31 •.
