Mac console problems CSGO

[m0bster]

Now i searched for awhile and i cant find any resolution for my FPS issue on my macbook PRO

The console is floading with messages like this:
IDirect3DQuery9::GetData(): Occlusion query flush took 2.560ms!
IDirect3DQuery9::GetData(): Occlusion query flush took 1.222ms!

anyone know's a link or has a solution for this problem?

thanks in advance Trunkz

[m0bster]

no i didn't unfortunaly.. :(

Either tho the new update had some fixes in it with a line around shadows.

And they worte that the mac client should be more stable, but it seems that its the same.

Lags, spikes and huge FPS drops is still accouring

There is no solution.

Either they don't know about the problem because the other threads about macs crashing are super unspecific or they do know about the errors, but aren't sure what part of the new patch is causing it.

I tried posting this issue earlier, but it got locked cuz I used caps, lel. Valve, please fix your ♥♥♥♥. This problem has caused serious performance problems for a lot of players.

I posted in the support forums aswell and i got this:

Please restart your computer and then follow these instructions to refresh your Steam files: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3134-TIAL-4638
Once completed, please verify the game's files: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

I did this and nothing happned, nothing change no new console hints, all the same with that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ error.

I after replied again, and replied, and replied asking that valve atleast could tell me they didnt know a fix yet. But they dont answer.

The problem of these occlusion errors are not related to a process running on CSGO, but on your macbook. This process is called MDS_STORES, see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5779822 to disable it. I do get these errors when there is smoke in the map of a smoke grenade, could be some other process running which should be disabled.

If there is anyone that can explain why these errors occur by this MDS_STORES, please explain.

How did you fix it? Can u explain? thanks

I was having the same issue that the OP mentioned and I was able to stop those errors by capping my fps at 60. Enter "fps_max 60" in console. Hope this helps!

Actually I got rid of it but I'm not entirely sure which was the key for success. Guess I started with disabling indexing from Spotlight via terminal like was suggested few rows above

Then I went through what Support was suggesting and what moi5t posted

I changed my launch options to match my preferences ( there are youtube videos about the launch options to improve your fps, basically from the line below "threads" depends on your processor my i7 has 4 threads, refresh and freq are mHz values that are depending on your display you use ):

-high -nod3d9ex -nojoy -threads 4 -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -novid -trickrate 128 -refresh 60 -freq 60 -console +mat_queue_mode 2

After new launch options I went through my ingame video settings and made sure I had the lowest settings there are without going into 4:3 mode nor small resolutions, I'm going on with 16:9 and 1920x1080

Then I have also developer mode enabled because after I die I want to see how much damage I gave on opfor and when console was full of red error spam it was hard to find the correct info about given damage, so I placed this as well to my autoexec file

developer "1"
con_filter_text "Damage"
con_filter_text_out "Player:"
con_filter_enable "2"

later I edited the damage filer a bit, changed con_filter_text calue from "Damage" to "Damage Given" so now I see only damage given by me, not the damage I took from others.

I believe two first steps were acting big role in improving my performance but fps boost had it's own impact on it as well, now I'm not having any fps drops anymore :)

Thanks guys for sharing your hints, they seemed to help me out

fps_max 60 worked for me on Linux
