Anyone else try it on the Mac? The game is so slow compared to the PC version. What's with that? Same with Portal. Does this have to do with the Mac architecture? Or is it just Valve? 
 
I had to make my sensitivity 17.0 when on PC I have it at 7.9. Your thoughts? 
 
Edit: By slow I mean response time, not lag.

Mac OS X and Windows use different methods of mouse acceleration. Which makes for the slow aiming. 
 
edit: The OS X version of Counter-strike: Source isn't even out yet.

I agree with the dude above, if it's only mouse sensitivity adjust it and "forgedaboutit" 
 
I am curios to know what settings you have it on and what FPS you are getting though.
 
Edit: he was no longer above. 
And how can they change the pace of the game? =/

How did you play it, is it a beta or something?  I didn't see it in the store.

The OS X versions of source engine games run a bit worse than the Windows versions due to out of date drivers. If Apple released newer, better drivers for Nvidia and ATI cards than it would be less of an issue.

Which Mac are you playing it on? That could be a part of it.

It's the CSS Beta that was released for PC a few weeks back. Not sure, it said I could install it so I did, and it worked.  "

Your videocard needs to be better. I get 200 frames per second average on my pc. Besides, macs aren't gaming machines at all compared to pc. I could go on about it however you probally know.

iMac from 2009. I can understand Macs were never made for games in the first place, but it just seems weird it struggles so heavily with a game from 2004.

@Dipstick: Yeah, played it on PC too. Definitely different on Mac. "

Isn't all the steam stuff being emulated through Cider or Wine? 
Thats probably why its going slowly, its hardly optimised for Macs to begin with. I'm pretty sure its not native. 
Either way, I can run Borderlands at 40fps on my 2007 MBP using Wine, so it could be shoddy programming too.

"  I get 200 frames per second average on my pc."   Was that really needed? I mean cool,your video card is better but there was literally no need for you to post that. "

Glad someone said this, because I was thinking it... Frames Per Second bragging of a PC game in a topic about the game running slowly on a Mac. no idea. "

I'd rather developers do OS X versions properly like Valve instead of putting out some Ciderized crap that runs poorly and never see any kind of support after that. Just look at Dragon Age: Origins for OS X. People who bought that got screwed big time. The game runs like crap, and has not gotten a single patch or DLC since its release.

It's too bad most of you are too unintellegent to realise that this game was out during half life 2, which is like 8 years ago or more, everyone should get higher framerates, so should the mac.

TF2 runs completely great on my Mac Pro laptop.  Better than my aging PC.
 
I read CS:S doesn't come out till next week on Mac tho...how are you playing it?  Nor is it downloadable from my games list.

" @Dipstick: It's the third time today I had a brainless comment because my post are too thought provoking and intellegent for ppl instead of being too literal. I'm trying to show a contrast, my videocard isn't powerful however if he's not getting good frames, there is something wrong with his hardware and I elaborated on the videocard. It doesn't take alot of power to run. "

I think it plays pretty good so far.
