Great to get the confirmation, thanks! How's the framerate in windowed? Also fixed?

Yes it is from what I've seen. Been playing only in fullscreen mode so not totally sure about it but on the title screen there wasn't any lag before I changed it to fullscreen

Wonderful! I'm no longer experiencing the super slow gameplay, and fullscreen is now working properly. The patch seems to have fixed all of the issues I was experiencing. Thank you!

Yes, the framerate issue has been fixed in windowed mode on my computer (Macbook Pro's with Radeon X1600). :D

Hi I have a retina macbook pro (Resolution 2880*1800) and when i play FTL the right side of the screen is cut off, and the resolution is only 2560*1440. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hey banana. With the retina displays, it's a slightly different issue. Frozenbyte seemed to run into a similar problem and posted a workaround at one point for Trine 2. People have had success with this:

"If you’re experiencing this problem, first try disabling Automatic Graphics Switching in the Energy Saver section of System Preferences, or using gfxCardStatus to switch to Discrete Only mode"

I'm running an old iMac, 2.16ghz core 2 duo, ATI Radeon X1600 128 MB

Was experiencing the same problems mentioned in the OP, but the Steam beta patch fixed them and the game is running great now.

Just wanted to confirm the patch is working!

edit: Oh, and yes, framerate is fixed in windowed mode, too
