Have been using GZDoom to play large fan megawads on my mac for the last couple years. Noticed some slight/brief lag here and there, but always went away quickly and was pretty rare all in all. Eviternity, Valiant, Auger Zenith, Sunlust, Platonia 2, Arrival, etc (always ultra violence)....no real issues.
Now I'm about 13 maps into Eviternity 2 and I'm getting horrible lag where it's pretty much unplayable. First started on secret map 32 which had a couple thousand enemies (ended up skipping it), but now it's happening on map13 which is only a couple hundred.
I was playing with the brutal doom weapons only mod (brutal21_weapons_only_Zandronum_fix.pk3) and the DoomHDTextures.pk3 mod. Never had issues with any of the other mega wads though. I turned those off, however the lag persists.
Not really sure what to do. I'm not really a gamer, just a lifelong doomer and not really knowledgeable about gaming hardware. For me it's always just been...Doom, it can play on anything. Am I really at a point where I need to start thinking about my computing specs? Any help for this newb is appreciated.
Mac specs:
Processor: 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB
Memory: 32 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X
OS: Ventura 13.6.3
Everything came as is. Just downloaded GZDoom, pointed to my wad files and it's been fine for two years now. Help appreciated!
