well, i had downloaded E2 on another computer with graphics card through steam. when that computer died (natural causes) i got my macbook. i had a vista disk so i installed that. later i saw a video of some guy playing e2 on hi macbook with no problems. when i tried, i could play some levels, but whenever i looked at the "super-portal" i got a massive lag storm. so, is there a way to get rid of that lag or the portal-thing? if so that would be awesome.
btw: i think it was a console command and also, im looking for it to run play-ably, not shockingly brilliantly, i know the limitations of the x3100. also, other hl2 games worked amazingly on medium high, and were very playable on the maximum settings when run in dx 8.1 mode
specs:
macbook
vista home premium sp1 through boot camp
2.1 GHZ
2g RAM
intel x3100 graphics
game settings so far:
lowest res and effects, set to run in dx 8.1
rest of game works fine, though there are a few bugs, like the first time an "acid antlion" shows up, its texture is degraded and unless i turn away from it my game will get a short bsod and crash to desktop
ANY help would be very appreciated
