Just started playing the game, and I'm noticing lag while playing the game. Like, it will freeze for like a sec every now and then. Is anyone having this issue???
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, I'm having the same problems. I am running the exact same hardware as you.
Pretty frustrating.

Ok, good to know I'm not the only one. Thought it was a problem on my end. Hope they will fix this with an update.
Same problem here.
Running a 2011 iMac quad core 3.4GHz Core i7 with 16GB ram and an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB.
Clearly a problem with the game itself, everyone seems to be having it.

From what I have read in relation to GTA on the PC and Mac side, the game itself just doesn't run well on computers; when running on Windows, people stated they had to have some high end machine to get smooth framerates out of it.
Here's to hoping they fix it for you guys.

great, I really wanted to buy it. Whats worse is I have a base '11 mini with the intel hd graphics. I'm sure there good enough but it can't make it any better for me.
Vice city runs fine on my mini but the graphics suck, definitely worse than the original ps2 graphics.

Absolutely; it's obvious that they (and Apple) got lazy and GM'd a terribly optimized port. There's no reason why a game that ran on PS2 hardware is running so badly now (although there are a lot of things to take into account when porting something).
They could have done better; no reason why the other ones work perfectly fine (right?) and this one has problems. Shouldn't have released the game if they knew it was going to be this buggy.
Lag free version of GTA San Andreas
For a completely lag free version for the exact same price go to Macgamestore.com and look under digital downloads. you can also get the GTA trilogy pack for $20. bought the game for my Mid 2010 13" Macbook Pro 2.4ghz with core 2 duo processor and have not experienced any lag or any problems. hopes this solves everyone's lag issue so they can enjoy the game.

Lag? On a MacBook Pro with an i7 processor?
I run this game easily at almost 50-60 FPS on a MacBook Pro that has only an i5 processor.
