Mac FPS Fix Found!

[synario]

After experiencing unplayable lag on a 2010 macbook pro (intel core duo processor) 320m Nvidia graphics, 4gb ram, I found a fix that removed the lag and make the game smooth and playable.

Somewhat counter-intuitively, I set the graphical settings to fantastic and 1024x768 resolution. Once in game, I set graphical rendering to 50 percent (instead of 0 percent) and I went in the console and set 'grass.on false' and 'gfx.all false'.

This fixed the lag.

I believe that by setting graphical settings TOO Low you may put too much pressure on your Cpu and cause worse lag. By finding a middle ground the game balances its self between its usage of your CPU and your GPU, achieving a nice balance and thus removing the lag.

I'm not having FPS issues, and would never be caught dead using a Mac, so this fix isn't for me.... but thank you for sharing some info that others might find helpful. We need more people on the forums like you.

hmmmmm i tried this and i still had savage lag maybe i did it wrong ?

[Freudian Tip]

He's talking about having low frames per second, and a chunky-running game. Maybe you're experiencing lag form a poor connection, or just laggy servers due to bad updates?

[SaskWatch]

yea maybe i had a fairly smooth game last night now its the sh its

[Freudian Tip]

Then you probably have regular network lag... the kind where you periodically sink into the ground, teleport back to where you were a few seconds ago, get delayed reactions to your actions, etc. That's a connection/server/update issue.

This actually worked.... after 2 weeks of waiting I've finally played rust!

[Fishly]

This is so good! Thanks a lot! But which setting is the graphical rendering? can't find it. Nevermind a suberb solution

I hope your right because if this works you just saved me from wasting 20 bucks because i love rust but i dont wanna play it because it takes half an hour just to get into a damn server and plus it doesn't even move smoothly. I would die easily as i cannot defend myself as i will probably die.

[Jichael Mackson]
