This is beyond frustrating that I haven't been able to do my favorite boss since 2018.
The only acknowledgement so far from Jagex is one Jmod saying they will look into it, and that was over two months ago with nothing but silence since.
Most Mac users I have talked to have just quit the boss entirely, some have moved to the Windows client with Bootcamp.
Pushing enrage at 1000%+ is literally impossible because the frames drop so badly during multi rockfalls that they kill you before the animation even appears, not that you could move anyway. Half of inputs don't register, and golems are basically impossible to click on; where they are on screen doesn't correlate with where they actually are because the movement animations are so delayed.
To preemptively answer every comment saying it's my computer:
- Every other part of the game runs fine except for: aod smoke, solak p2 bombs, and by far the worst, telos p5
- This only started happening after the mining & smithing rework. The phase ran just fine before this update, at around 50 fps just like the rest of the game.
- It's caused by beams. The moment the beams disappear to swap, the frame rate returns to normal, then immediately plummets when they reappear.
- It's not just because there is a lot going on in the phase; that would cause an expected slight frame drop. After this update, the frame rate drops by 75-80% on p5: from 50-60 down to 9-12 (with some drops below 9 during 1k+ rockfalls).
- Mac users that run the Windows client via Bootcamp do not experience the same issue, definitive evidence that it's a problem with the Mac client rather than hardware.
- Every Mac user that I know of that does Telos has experienced the same problem. This problem spans across multiple types of Macs, we aren't using the same years or models. More evidence that it's a client issue rather than hardware.
- Every graphics setting is tuned to the bare minimum. No textures, shadows, terrain blending, etc. My client is even resized to 5.5x8.5" on my screen because of issues with client crashes when I play full screen.
This really needs to be fixed. Telos is, in my opinion, the best piece of pvm content in this game and having it unplayable for users because an update broke something in the client is unacceptable. Please either fix this, or tell me it's never going to be solved so I can just quit the game.
