Howdy, howdy, howdy -

Curious as to whether anyone on the boards has been tweaking Mac DAO .ini or Transgaming .ini files to optimize visuals/performance.

Had followed board instructions on how to show FPS in DAO and noticed a *lot* of settings just begging to be tweaked in one of the .ini or config files.

Anyone tweaking have performance and/or visual quality improvement stories to share?

Cheers,

 I have played around a little bit and you can increase your framerate by 10-20% if you set

[d3dgl]
"FBOBackBuffer" = "Y"

The overall performance is still bad, but it is a start.

I have also set
[d3dgl]
"GLSL" = "Y"
and
[d3dgl]
"DynamicVBO" = "N""IndexVBO" = "N"

but I am not sure if this makes any different.

But 
"FBOBackBuffer" = "Y"
works, at least on my summer 2010 i5 imac ATI Radeon HD 5670

You find the config file under ~/Library/Preferences/Dragon\\ Age\\ Origins\\ Preferences
The [d3dgl] preferences are around line 166
You can switch framerate on under
[macdrv]
"ShowFPS" = "1"
around line 142

What does FBOBackbuffer actually do? I didn't notice any difference. But maybe it's more effective on ATI cards?

Also, it occurs to me that people with bad performance usually have an ATI Radeon card. I've got an NVidia 9600M GT and since 1.0.4 and OSX 10.6.4, my performance has become quite smooth, so that I've now been able to raise all settings to max and still have a decent framerate. (Late 2008 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo)

The reason I'm dwelling on this is that I tried to run DA:O with WINE (which transgaming's Cider is based upon) last December and there was a consensus on the WINE forums that ATI cards wouldn't work at all with DA:O/WINE. (don't know if that's been solved by now)
So I see a pattern here (meaning ATI support is worse than nVidia support on Cider).
