Hello,

this is the second Thread. The first one disappear.

The Problem:

Skirmish Game on Macbook and Powermac.

Playing on Macbook is nice and I have a lot of fun for Hours.

Playing on Powermac is the same sh*t again and again.

Situation: Skirmish with 6 or 7 or 8 Players on a Map. Me and the Computer.

History: I build a Factory, build new Trucks, a Power Generator, a Headquarter, Power Resources and a Science Lab. Then I improve my defense. After that I collect enough Oil to built attack Forces.

On Macbook is everything fine. The Enemies come und my Defense is working.

On Powermac is nothing fine. The Enemies come and destroy everything. They had a lot of Units, no heavy weapons! Only Machineguns and Rocketlauncher. And they destroy everything. Every time. Sometimes its only one of the other Colours. But often there are two or more. If I deactivate the Alliance between the Colours, its the same!

What the Hell is going on there?

The Difficult of the Game is on both Macs the same. The Version too.

I need Help!

Please don´t say: "play it on your Macbook."

Sry for my english, im from Germany ^^

If you've installed the same version on both, then I see no reason why they should be different. Are you sure it wasn't just luck, or different maps, one where the ai was stronger etc.?

I installed the same Version on both for the third time. Nothing changed.
Difficult of Game and of the Enemies are the same. Maps are the same. I followed the same strategy on both devices.
Once I build the same Structures at the same places on both Macs.
But the Enemies on my Powermac are more agressive than the enemies on the Macbook.
I know, that sounds crazy. I have no idea why it doesn´t work.

Is there something magical? Maybe my Powermac doesn´t likes me anymore....

What version of the game and what version of the mac os are are you using on each computer?

If you're playing against Nexus AI then it cheats randomly, so possible that on different computer speed / OS it cheats in slightly different ways that over some time add up to big difference?

Try playing against NullBots: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8826

Hmm. WOW that is strange. me thinks its because even though your view of the game on the powerbook is slow (due to low FPS) the computer opponent has no problem moving his units and thus has an advantage over you. On a side note, I have a powerbook g4 1GHz lying around and it runs fine for me.

It´s not a Powerbook. It´s a Macbook with 2,2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 Gb of Ram.
The Powermac is slower, only 1 Ghz Double Processor with 1,75 Gb of Ram.

Both Mac´s running with Mac OS 10.5.8 and also Warzone 2.3.9.1 Version.


crazy?

SandorK, can you try newest 3.1 beta there?
2.3.x is no more actively developed branch...

I´ll try it on my Powermac an simultaneusly on my Macbook. Wish me luck.

I would also recommend the 3.1 betas but do note that they will only work on intel and that 10.5 is the lowest supported system and likely to be dropped some time after 10.8 comes out later this year.

So, I can play the Beta Version only on my Macbook. The Powermac hasn´t an Intel Processor. I think the Discussion is over^^
I don't want a later Version of Mac OS, like Lion or Mountain Lion. To much gimmicks that I dont need.

In a few Months I´ll live in another City and my Powermac is History. I´ll take the Macbook with me because it´s mobile and the Powermac need a lot of Space under my Table. So i play the easy Version on my Macbook

Thanks Guys for your Help.
