FPS & GAME ISSUES ON YOSEMITE

Hi after upgrading my late 2007 imac to Yosemite , i seem to have developed an FPS issue with my games , I've searched around a bit and it seems there are a few people with the same issue.
mainly im playing or should i say was .. CS:GO & F12013 , both of these are left unplayable and jumpy due to the new OSX.
whats the deal? and is there any news on a fix?

Intermittent freezing bug with FPS games on T60p

I have a Lenovo T60p with the latest graphics driver from the lenovo site, but this problem has been pestering me for years and I'm tired of it. So, I wondered if anyone had a similar issue and/or a solution.
SO, the problem. In EVERY single FPS game I've played, from Left 4 Dead to Battlefield 2, the game will freeze for 3-5 seconds every 30 seconds or so. It's not so big a deal with single player games, really just an irritant, because when I freeze so do all the enemies. However, it's VERY annoying in multiplayer games where standing still for 3-5 seconds with no warning gets you very dead and very frustrated.
I want it to stop. ANY ideas would be appreciated.

Unfortunately this hasn't worked. I can get to the stage where I just have "Standard VGA Adapter" installed but when I run the Catalyst install it doesn't detect my hardware and I get the "driver not compatible" message in Catalyst Control Centre.
I've tried all sorts of combinations now, even tried extracting just the driver from the Bootcamp DVD and installing that then the Catalyst but still having no luck. I think what it boils down to is that you only seem to be able to install the Bootcamp driver which obviously doesn't work very well!
Wondering if this problem occurs in Xp or Vista cause I don't mind downgrading if this problem does not occur on other Windows versions.

Issues with Yosemite, can I downgrade to Mavericks or Mountain Lion and downgrade Apple Apps to work with older OS X

Hi
I am having several issues with Yosemite, mainly disappearing folders (title / name) but no folder or more importantly no previews of .mov or other video files nor unable to open them. I have years of these files that I want to edit in FCP X.
I have upgraded all my Apple apps so they now work in 10.10.2, but I want to revert back to Mavericks as a second partition for video work.
Is there any way I can reinstalled an older OS and downgrade my Apple apps like FCP X and Aperture so I can open, edit and produce dvd / bluray of these files.
Thanks in advance
Matt

Thanks perermac87. I'm can make a second partition on ssd for mavericks as plenty of space, but final cut x 10.1.4 I have now needs Yosemite to open. So how can I also download older versions of my apps from the App Store?
urbkuhl I live in the uk with fibre too and downloaded 10.10.2 in under 10 mins

Is there any Compatibility issues between Yosemite 10.10.2 and Adobe Elements 12 editor 12.0 or adobe DNG converter 8.1 ?

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro and the GPU is causing issues with Yosemite. How can I resolve this issue?

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro and the GPU is causing issues with Yosemite. There are a number of issues I have run across:
If I have four tabs open on Safari then I start to get a flickering on the screen from the GPU refreshing
When I leave the computer alone for more than 20 mins the screen saver should start -- what happens is that the screen goes to black. When I move the cursor I do not get the login screen. I have to reboot
FireFox Web browser will not run
I get issues with the computer running very slowly
I have already turned off the transparency option in settings. Any ideas??
Cheers

Do you have more than one OS on the Mac?
You may want to look at something like http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/. This has a Free Trial window, but it is a commercial application. If there are any heat/sensor issues, this may help.
A SMC Reset or PRAM/NVRAM reset may also help.

FPS / Stuttering Issues (Overheat , Speedstep Issues ? ) MSI GE60 2PE APACHE PRO

**EDIT**
Unable to post direct image links , please ad HTTP:// before links
Good evening Fellow Gamers and Adepts.
I come to you tonight with a serious doubt , which has rattled me for a while , and after some intense troubleshooting i have came up blank.
Here's the deal , as stated , i have a MSI GE60 2PE apache Pro
Now , playing cs go has been the bane of my existence, i am aware there are heating issues with this laptop , but those have been fixed by a Thermal repaste, a cooling pad and the backplate removed.
Now i have no more throttling of CPU , and GPU appears to handle fine aswell; the thing is i keep having MASSIVE lag spikes in CS:GO , and apparently they are being cause by CPU issues.
Image for clarification .
(Standart situation , notice the relative low fps for a old game)
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80
After a few seconds the following occurs
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#1
Notice the fps drop and the CPU frequency percent alert in game
another shot of this in console so you can see the several occurrences
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#2
now keep in mind that these are the lowest game settings, in Fullscreen windowed mode , if i even CONSIDER putting it on standart fullscreen i get unplayable jitterness and fps that range from 10 to 80 , all in a second.
Now , as i have stated i have fooled around and disabled speedstep in the bios , meaning that the cpu is always at 100%, seeing i have removed the backplate , throttling is not an issue as IXT (Intel extreme tuning) can attest.
note aswell the "active core count" spikes to 4/3 in the exact moments of the stutters, meaning that both problems should , in theory , be connected .

can ANYONE give me an ideia of whats going on ? i rather enjoy playing with games with friends , but this is driving me up the wall..
Lastest NVIDIA / Laptop drivers installed ; Bios Updated and EC firmware aswell.
Thank you for your time guys x)

Geforce GT650M Performance Issues after Yosemite Update

So like many others I downloaded and installed the Yosemite update. However, I am now experiencing some issues with the discrete mode on my Early 2013 Retina MBP:
Propellerhead's Reason 7.1.1 has significant rendering slowdown when turning on the Spectrum EQ feature. This issue did not exist in Mavericks. The entire rendering engine slows down and the CPU usage spikes significantly when turning this on, which tells me that the system stops using the graphics card and is attempting to render the app using CPU cycles. I might just upgrade to Reason 8 to see if it helps, but I figured I'd report this here first.
Also, full screen RDP connections in Parallels 10 on a Windows 7 VM pretty much kill all UI rendering performance (Dock especially).
This feels a bit like a bad nVidia driver was included with the Yosemite build.
Specs:
Early 2013 Retina MBP
OSX Yosemite
i7 2.4Ghz
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
Intel and nVidia Geforce GT650M graphics
I should note that this is occurring when running three displays.

Yes I think it's to do with OSX 10.x
I got the beta version and ran dues ex and found huge lag and poor framerate, right down to about 1-2fps!
I have the 1gb GT 650M, I did the usual resetting of PVram and unchecking discreet graphics, checked concurrent process and killed hungry ones, etc...
but to no avail, then I fiddled with the graphics in-game and still no improvement even all the way down to 1990's spec resolution
so I reverted to mavericks and voila! working.
So I think it is definitely an issue with the OS. I did report this to apple but what's one voice in a million?
I would hope that an update will be released soon to fix as it is affecting adobe products too, not just games.
Sorry this doesn't provide a solution but I don't think that it is a hardware fault at all.

Issues with Yosemite and Safari on extended monitors

I have Yosemite installed on a Mac Pro with 3 monitors attached to it. As soon as I installed Yosemite, I noticed that whenever I tried to fill in text input fields on a web page, the things I typed in would start blinking. And when trying to backspace to correct any typing errors, the field would remain the same and continue blinking. It was very annoying because it was very difficult to enter anything into text input fields.
My brother and an officemate who also had Yosemite installed on their computers were not experiencing this issue so I tried to isolate the problem on my system. What I discovered is that Safari behaves as it should when it is displayed on my main monitor. But whenever I move the Safari window over to one of the other monitors, any text input field on a web page would be next to impossible to type text into. Other input fields, such as dropdown list boxes, act weird also.
I should add that this only happens with Safari. Firefox and Chrome do not behave this way on any of the monitors. Other apps also run fine on the extended monitors. It's just Safari that misbehaves.
Has anybody else experienced this problem. Is this a known bug? I tried doing a search here in this community and on the internet itself but have not found anybody else complain about this issue.
Thanks.

Hi all, I too am expieriencing similar issues.
I am running a 2012 6core 3.33 Mac Pro with two ATI Radeon cards driving 3 27" LCD Cinema Displays. One of the Radeo cards (1) drives the outer 2 screens and the other card (2) drives the centre screen alone.
I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite 10.10.01 after being very pleased with it running on my Macbook Pro for a few weeks.
My center screen had issues immediately rendering certain pages in Safari, the App Store and Mail. In particular the google page when it has live search results showing, the App Store updates page also renders badly, and some emails in Mail that are html also don't load as the should. Generally its the top of the page flashing, or the text input box on a page like this thats effected.
I did a fresh install of Yosemite and it didn't fix the problem.
I notice when I drag my safari window from the outer screen to either of the side screens, the problem goes away and returns when it comes back to the centre screen. I swapped over the mini display ports so that graphics card 1 drives the middle screen and graphics card 2 drives the outer screens and the problem moved to the outer screens.
I am still on Applecare so I called Apple and a senior tech took a look at the issue on my screen remotely. He decided on replacing the graphics card. This is being sent now so I report back once its installed to let you know if it made a difference.
I am also going to try swapping out one of my cards with another colleagues card to see if I can establish if its a bug in Yosemite or an issue with a specific ATI card, or indeed just a problem when you run two cards.
In the mean time I would be interested to hear if any of you guys found a workaround.

I am having a game issue, and I am trying to diagnose it...

I am having a problem with the demo for Empires: Dawn of the Modern world.
The game hasn't been released yet, but the demo is available, and I am having a severe problem with it, but I'm not sure what is causing it.
My problem is that the game crashes constantly. I'm playing a game just fine and all of a sudden the game crashes to the desktop. I am the only person I know that has this issue, so I am trying to find people with the same issue.
My specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2000+
KT3 Ultra2
512 MB DDR
15 GB HD
Win 98 SE
Radeon 9600 128 MB non-pro.
I am trying to figure out if the issue is:
A: Motherboard/Graphics card issue
B: Motherboard/Graphics card/OS issue
I was wondering if a person with either
A: Windows 98 SE and a KT3 Ultra 2 motherboard, and a Radeon 9600 pro or nonpro graphics card
B: Win XP with same Mobo & Graphics
could please download the Multiplayer or Singleplayer demo. You can get either one at http://www.empiresrts.com/media/
Both are 250+ MB, quite huge, I know, I had to download the Multiplayer demo twice because of corrupted files, and I have a 56k modem :P.
Once d/led and installed, if you are having problems getting the game to load (either the game or a scenario/multiplayer map), close RunDLL, it causes that problem on my computer. In game, if the problem isn't with my computer, the game will crash to the desktop randomly.
I would like to know if anyone with Win98 has this problem, and if so, I would like to know if anyone with WinXP has this issue as well. I know this is a somewhat different request for tech support, but I hope someone can help me
Thank you,
ET

Is the only one program in which your PC crashes ?
I've had problems with other 3d games, but this the only one that really matters to me.

Pehaps it still have corrupted files.
I finally broke down and ordered a CD version, same thing as the download, but I don't have to tie up the phone line or risk more corruption.

Problem with connecting to a website. Just purchased a new iMac with Version 10.10.2 Yosemite. Once in a while I have trouble connecting to a site. It takes forever. Is this an issue with Yosemite or my internet service?

I purchased this iMac in Feb. 2015. When I try to connect to a web site using Safari or Google Chrome I usually have no problems getting connected to the site. But maybe once a day I will try to connect and I will see the blue progress bar at the top of the screen showing it is trying to connect and then it just stops. It may take a couple of minutes before it connects to the site.
Would this be a problem with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 ? Or would this be a problem with my internet company?
Thank you,
Laurie

Hi lauriefrommi,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
i understand that you have some intermittent webpage loading issues while using Safari on your Mac. In this situation, to ensure that Safari is working as it should, I would suggest reading over the attached article and using the information to make sure Safari has no unsupported third-party add-ons.
Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues - Apple Support

Mac Book Pro 13 inch Graphics Issue with Yosemite

I have a major graphics issue with my Mac Book Pro mid 2010 after upgrading to Yosemite. I have a 2.66ghz with 8gb memory and 320M 256 MB NVIDIA graphics card. Since upgrading to Yosemite (after a clean install) I have had the following issue that are driving me crazy;
When I use more than one program my screen displays large blocks of unrecognisable fuzziness. I have two screen working off my Mac Book Pro, one is the Apple 27 inch theatre screen.
My system works slow despite have ample free memory available on my disk (over 150gb)
It is becoming an increasing concern as this issue builds up over the day to the point where I need to reboot to fix, however as soon as I use Photoshop the system almost grinds to a halt. Other issues that are bearable but ned addressing include;
Keyboard often does not work on startup and requires you to pull out the keyboard and reconnect (intermittent).
Lost email when sent (intermittent). I had hoped that this would be fixed in this updated release.
Laggy behaviour in general.
I am hoping someone has an idea to fix these issues or are also sharing my frustration. Can someone suggest fix as this is not a workable situation for Mac book Pro users and 2010 is not that of an old computer. Apple???

So you erased your drive and installed 10.10 and then 10.10.1 and everything else was t hrough Setup Assistant, through reinstalls, or through TimeMachine restore?
A four-year old laptop may be at the point where that small older gpu and processors have more trouble.
you might want to hold off and go back to Mavericks or whatever you had - hopefully you cloned that system before doing clean install, upgrade to 16GB, maybe throw in an SSD... or save and get the next MacBook Pro to come out.
And you checked your apps at http://www.roaringapps.com for compatibility.
Might help just to see what if anything shows up in output from Etrecheck.
Probably thought this was laptop MacBook Pro, it is not, probably best moved to Yosemite forum.

T410s Major Fps Lagg Issue

Hello, I have owned my Lenovo T410s for almost 18 months now. Since the moment that I bought this laptop, it has had major FPS lagg problems while running ANY (even small and old) games.
These are the Specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 560 @ 2.67GHz
RAM: 4GB
64 bit operating system
Basically, when i open any game whatsoever (even browser based java games), and run the game for less than 1-2 minutes, the FPS goes from 50 fps to 1.2-1.5fps (no joke). It stays like this for 30 seconds, before being back to 50fps, but the process repeats every few minutes. I have never been able to solve this problem, and look to this forum for help!
Some other information: When this 'fps lagg' occurs, the CPU jumps from a constant 20-30% to 100% immediately. The laptop also becomes extremely hot, and it will burn you if you touch it for too long. It happens from games such as Counter Strike 1.6 to Skyrim, no matter what game I play, it doesnt work!
I have tried to do extensive research in order to find out why it doesnt work, but I have come up empty handed. I think that the graphics card which I have is NVIDIA NVS 3100M, and it also has Intel(R) HD Graphics above it in the list (sorry i am not very good at computers!)
Edit: I have searched through these forums, and found the following threads which people have posted all with the same problem:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T410s-Optimus-game-performance-heat/td-p/73...

None of these people have found a solution to their problem.
Any help to solve this problem will be muchly appreciated, thank you all

Macbook Pro Mid 2012: Issues with Yosemite update, graphics, and hard drive.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
I've used 192.8 GB
Operating System: 10.10.1 (14B25) YOSEMITE UPDATE
I've been experiencing problems with my Macbook Pro shortly after the two year mark of when I've purchased it. There are a few things that are going on. I recently verified my Macintosh HD disk through disk utility and it stated in red that there was an incorrect number of file hard links & then error: This disk needs to be repaired and to restart and then press "R". However, everything before that seemed to have passed. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive and use the time machine frequently. Another thing that has been happening, usually when I'm opening one my adobe programs, is that my screen will go white for a minute along with unidentifiable pink glitchy shapes that don't move. My computer has not been running like it used to and is running slow, freezing, and periodically going white --- as I just mentioned before. I just know that something isn't it right. I've been having to restart my computer by manually pressing the power button more than I've ever had over the past two years. I always work on my computer on a hard surface in a cool area & my fans seem to behaving okay. I also recently installed the Yosemite update for the mac sometime during this past November too and noticed slower running speed, more freezing, and longer times to boot up afterwards. Please speak up if you're experiencing problems with your 2012 Macbook pro too and especially after downloading the Yosemite upgrade. I don't see how it's in any way acceptable that I should have to deal with issues pertaining to my graphics card. Sorry for this post being a little all over the place.

Hello brousch,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your Mac is spontaneously restarting whenever you see a certain animation on your screen. This indicates your Mac is getting a kernel panic caused by that animation. If you'd like to learn more about kernel panics, including how to troublshoot them, please take a look at the information in the link below.

How can i fix my wifi and bluetooth issues in yosemite?

Hi, after upgrading to Yosemite I've noticed that my bluetooth trackpad (Logitech t651) and wifi connection are having serious conflicts which result in sluggish trackpad response or occasional wifi connection drops.
I would have some occasional sluggishness with my trackpad in Mavericks but it would never lead to dropping of my wifi connection. Here is a little more about my configuration, my wifi connection is 2.4ghz, I have read that upgrading to 5GHZ would solve this problem but this would of course require me to purchase a new router which I would like to avoid. I have noticed that if i turn off my wifi, my trackpad is 100% smooth and responsive so the two issues are definitely connected. Does anyone have solution to fix this problem that doesn't include changing the wifi broadcast channel (which I've already tried), switching to 5GHZ, or utilizing an ethernet connection? Thanks

I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA.
I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad. I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time. If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine. This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
Additional test:
I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA. The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.
