Can you tell us what settings and resolution you're running it on?
If you get a chance, open up the console while playing a game (shift and ~) and type in renderer.drawFps 1. That'll tell us what FPS you're getting...
Got a tip for us?

Sorry to bring an old thread back, but it was better than creating another one.
I'm honestly surprised that our clan only has six members. It seems as if there were many more Mac gamers which actually owned BF 2142.

It does not appear as if you specified the "Mac Users" clan when registering.
What you need to do in order to be tracked as part of our clan is go to: http://bf2142tracker.com/bf2142_trackercp.php and choose "Mac Users" in the tracker clan dropdown menu. Then, enter "macs" as the clan password (without quotes).
After that, all you have to do is add ==Macs== as your clantag inside BF2142!

Thanks a lot. Updated my player stats so I'm good to go. Gotta re-installed bf2142 (I hacked the NS so I was able to play NS maps) so that it doesn't crash when I try to do my next unlock.
Will be as active as I can be. Thx.
Out of all curiosity, how exactly did you hack NS so it worked on your Mac version? I am contemplating whether or not I should do this, as it might contribute to the game's already-crippling stability issues.

Someone else on the BF2142 Support forums had an idea, I offered to be the guinea pig and it worked. However, the BFHQ will ALWAYS crash the game.
Stability wasn't an issue, it worked great and was able to join NS maps. While everyone was waiting for the 1.4 update I was already playing.
It's the BFHQ crash I didn't like.
The post is over at the Mac BF2142 Forums page:

FYI x-kat69 is me. I'm removing it simply because of the BFHQ crash problem.
Ahh, so it seems that I would be better off buying the Deluxe Edition for PC until EA actually releases an official version of NS for Mac. Thanks for your help, though.
