Re: [2.0.7] Frequent FPS slowdowns during gameplay

And the coolest thing is the laboratories - we bring them closer and voila 30/60. Disabling Vsync gives 60.2/60.2, but if the above conditions are met, there will be freezes and screen twitching This definitely matches what I see - some areas of the map are good and some are very slow. Solar panels...

That assumption was correct, but I did also try it on a 1080p monitor after posting those screenshots.

My macOS memory pressure meter (in Activity Monitor) remains green while playing, so that shouldn't be the issue either. I have 16GB total and tried closing all other applications.

Re: [2.0.7] Frequent FPS slowdowns during gameplay

For macOS players, I recommend to disable "Render in native resolution" in graphics settings, if you run into FPS issues. I will try this next time I play when the FPS is stuttering, however I would like to note now that I was playing on my 1080p monitor and experienced the same issues. U...

Re: Just bought this program, it doesn't run on my system can I please get some help?

What operating system/type of computer are you using? When you say it doesn't run, what happens? Does it run slowly, or not at all?

Re: [2.0.7] Frequent FPS slowdowns during gameplay

Playing on an M1 Macbook pro, experiencing frequent and random fps slowdowns to 30 fps during gameplay, UPS is unaffected. Seeing the exact same issue on my M2 MacBook Air, I'll attach mine here. Two screenshots attached, one showing FPS in the 30s (moving around in remote view, zoomed in) and one ...

Re: Stealth upgrade to 2.0.7

The version of Factorio downloaded from the website has no DRM. You should download the full game from Factorio.com, which will be available if you've logged in to an account that has the license: https://factorio.com/download/archive/1.1.110

Re: Friday Facts #370 - The journey to Nintendo Switch

I don't think they ever found one. it doesn't support the Metal API etc. They don't have any active job listings, at the moment. That being said, Metal API isn't needed to support Apple Silicon, since the issue is the CPU – not the GPU (although yes, Apple Silicon does replace the GPU as well). Typ...

Re: Friday Facts #370 - The journey to Nintendo Switch

There's no plans for more releases on ARM as I don't think there's that much demand, but it's something that is now more likely to come in the future as it becomes more popular. Just because the game compiles on one ARM platform, it doesn't mean it will just work on all of them. Adding a new platfo...

Re: Friday Facts #370 - The journey to Nintendo Switch

I know that previously a blocker with supporting ARM (Apple Silicon, specifically) was multiplayer compatibility (as you mention here). Now that you've gotten one platform running on ARM, do you have plans to expand that to Mac (and Windows) ARM devices in the future?

Re: Does Factorio work on the new Macbooks?

I have an M1 MacBook Air and Factorio runs without a problem - I don't have any large worlds but it's easily maintaining 60/60 on my smaller world. It's running with Rosetta however–and in the long term (over the next, say, 5 years) Rosetta support could be removed. I hope that the development team ...

Re: Factorio for the iPad?

I’m a Mac developer and I can lend insight: If Factorio had an iPad app but no Mac app, these upcoming changes would make Mac support easy. However that’s not the situation. While supporting Apple Silicon on the Mac should be trivial for the developers, bringing Factorio to the iPad would not be (al...

Re: [0.17.4] [MacOS] Delays in control

Hi All, I wanted to contribute my report: I have a Late 2016 MacBook Pro (built-in trackpad and keyboard) and I'm seeing this as well. There's significant input lag, both in the mouse and the keyboard. It comes and goes, too–one minute everything's responding then all the sudden it comes back. At no...
