I know macOS and Linux aren't fully supported right now, but I've had some frame rate issues that other Mac users might have come across, so I thought I'd share this.
First of all, I'm running the game on a 13-inch 2019 MacBook Pro. I'll include full specs at the end of this post. I use the following settings within the game: low quality, trippy lighting, frame skipping: on, resolution 1650x1050. The game usually runs fine, at 60 FPS most of the time, with the occasional drop to 50-55 when I'm underground in an area with lots of torches.
Here are the issues I've encountered so far:
• Whenever I try to open the bestiary, I get severe frame rate issues (it instantly drops from 60 to about about 12 FPS, and it remains like that for as long as I have the bestiary open). This happens on both new and old (pre-1.4) worlds.
• Mannequins cause frame rate issues, too. If I have three or four mannequins on the screen, I get around 20 FPS (compared to 60 FPS when there are no mannequins around).
• Armor sets with visual effects are practically unusable right now, unless I wear something different in my vanity slots (to disable the visual effects of the set itself). Wearing a full set of nebula armor, for example, causes the game to run at 10 FPS. Same goes for solar flare armor and many others. When I wear a familiar wig as a vanity item, however, the visual effect goes away and the game runs fine.
From my experience, if you're running 1.4 on a 2019 MacBook Pro, you should avoid placing mannequins and wearing any armor sets that trigger some sort of visual effect (try wearing vanity items to disable the effects).
Full specs:
macOS Catalina (10.15.5)
1,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
16GB RAM
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB
