Hello

Ever since i have updated to OS 10.3.5 from 10.3.3 i have noticed my Call of duty game has lost its smooth frame rate. Usually it was in between 50-30 FPS now its more like 40-20 fps which kinda sucks. I notice this more on the larger maps in multiplayer. Is there anyway to squeeze more out of my graphics card or should i defrag my HD or something, if so how do I do that. I have already tried reinstalling Call Of Duty and i tried fixing my permission neither really helped.

my specs are:
12 inch powerbook rev A 867
32 mb graphics card
640 mb of RAM

Help me please! i miss this game

Thanks
-Tidzy

This may be a little off topic but, after updating I can no longer turn anti aliasing on in Call Of Duty, or any game for that matter, I've got an ATI9700 if that helps and I haven't noticed any change in FPS.

There is an NVidia driver bug in 10.3.5, and that's the cause... gotta wait for 10.3.6 to come out I guess.

No idea what the problem is with the ATI.....

Is losing a few fps going to hurt you? There should be no perceptible difference in the game at all.
