Re: Cursor slow to respond in CAS

@jordan554541

It seems to be a common problem on some Macs. I've moved your thread to this one where other users have also noticed the slow responsiveness in CAS. CAS is a lot more responsive in Windows on the same Mac.

    It's up to EA to release a fix for it. Thankfully it's not a game breaker but it is very annoying, especially as the performance is much better in Windows.

    @VossTess @jordan554541 @nbgem and any others experiencing this, please can you provide further details about your Mac:

     Click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your desktop and select About This Mac. You should see a window like the one above. Please provide the following information (you may need to click on More Info depending on what operating system you're running). Do NOT include your serial number:

    • Operating System (Version)
    • Mac model
    • Processor
    • Memory (RAM)
    • Graphics
    • 15" MacBook Pro users - click on System Report then Graphics/Displays in the left side list. If your Mac has dedicated graphics this will show up as either NVIDIA or AMD in the right side window, please list the specification here as well.

    My specs:

    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    No use of detail mode in CAS, makes it impossible to edit a new sim.
