Yeah. I have my PC, and my mac. My PC pros: I have an easier time building Lots of good add-ons I know the controls easily Can host a fairly good server cons: Lags when there's ~10k bricks on the screen at the same time Lags when there's too much emitters on the screen at the same time. The alarm emote is loud as forget in first person These cons are really big and makes the game much less enjoyable My Mac Pros: Almost no lag at all. (starts lagging at maybe 80k bricks?) Alarm emote isn't really loud in first person Cons: Crashes, freezes, won't load servers, sqlite errors, etc. (Blockland for mac is really broken) No numpad, I can't build for stuff. I can't set up good keybinds because no numpad = almost the entire keyboard is already taken. I haven't got all my good add-ons which makes the game easier. (Though I could spend some time finding these) These cons also make the game less enjoyable. What should I do? As you can see both of my computers are pretty bad at running blockland. Should I save up for a good PC laptop? Should I learn to build on my mac? Should I just deal with it and go on? |

Save up for a proper PC desktop, especially with the new shadows and shaders coming. |
| Extrude:
Cool people use IJKL to build anyway. |

whatever one has the better video card i guess. edit; though no num-pad makes blockland pretty much non playable. you could bind all the keys to the qwerty side but thats not very convenient or easy to play. cant you just plug the pc keyboard into the mac? or is that comp not any better any ways. play the game in a 1440x900ish window with settings down. it still looks ok. |

I have tried to drag some setting down, but that didn't really help when there's large amounts of bricks. --- Quote from: Freeze on March 04, 2012, 09:21:29 AM ---Save up for a proper PC desktop, especially with the new shadows and shaders coming. --- End quote --- I don't feel like switching out my desktop pc, but I might have to do that anyways. I'm thinking about buying a specific pc laptop. My friends bro got one for christmas, it's as good as his alienware laptop. It's about 900 dollars. |
