Hello!

Have updated today, so..
before the 2.0 update I was playing quite smooth, about 60-90 FPS on
my Mac Pro, but now ... the game is slow... about 18-20 fps drop in
fights. The interesting thing is - that when I'm even selecting lower
resolution and turning off effects and FX in options and etc - there is
still NOT much changes on performance - it is still quite slow..
it is impossible to play with 15-20 FPS.. Am I the only
one who having this?

(Sys setup: Intel Mac Pro early 2008 (dual Xeon), 16 Gb RAM,
ATI Radeon HD3870 512mb, Mac OS X 10.6.5)

P.S. IS those new map and health bar stuff are consuming 70% of my GPU power?

After some further testings - it is clear that newly introduced in 2.0 health bars causing
this... It is easily can be tested with "host_drawfps 1" command in console.
Then if you will turn off "always display health bars" option in game preferences - and
while in game will press "Alt" - to temporary see those bars - FPS will drop down twice
in value ...

That's what i've found for now..
In huge team-fights with a lot of spell-casting and graphic FX and etc - this become
unplayable - since it is no chance to play fine with health bars turned off..
