I recently upgraded my MBP Retina from Mavericks to Yosemite. The game (0.11.3 and previous versions) was running just fine, I have a huge factory with lots of bots and trains and there were no problems.

When I tried to run the game under Yosemite though, it is extremely laggy. About once a second it will suddenly lag and drop a bunch of frames, the game is unplayable. I also started a new map on default settings, and have the same lag problems. I also moved my Application Support/factorio directory to start over clean. Its slightly less laggy, but still a frustrating amount.

Here's a screencast of that latest attempt:

Luckily, I'm not having the same crashing issues that lots of others seem to be on OSX, but this is almost as bad. I'm not sure what sorts of things to look for in the OSX settings that might help this performance, either.

Please enable debug info (F5), then run around for 20-30 seconds, and then take a screenshot and post it here. The timing info there should tell us what is going on.

Thanks cube!

Here's a screenshot from a empty map:

Ah, the mysterious flip monster strikes again. This kind of problem just seems to appear at random... I'll keep it in mind and write here if I come up with any solution.
Meanwhile you can try experimenting with bitmap caching, low graphics mode and max-texture size option.

FWIW, this was an upgrade install to Yosemite, and I was noticing other weird performance issues, so I did a clean install last night. Factorio seems fine now, so it must have been a botched upgrade somehow.

Thanks!

Is there any movement on this? I'm having the same problem with Yosemite and the recommendations havent really reduced the issue at large. The issue is something that is also visible via the main menu.
