The game is unplayable on Mac (at least some of them) since the 6/2 patch. Could you please do something?

I will not spend a single dollar on this game anymore until this gets fixed. What a joke!

Any update at all would be great to see. I have a Windows desktop as well, so I can still play there, but I really much prefer being able to sit in my armchair with my laptop.
While we're at it, can we get the aspect ratio issue looked at? On 16:10 monitors, when a card is flashed up on screen on either the left or right sides, it is cut off significantly as the card positioning is for a 16:9 monitor (we are effectively losing a bit over 5% of the screen on each side). On my Windows machine, I can just force it into a 16:9 aspect ratio, and it letterboxes just fine (though occasionally I have to reset it, generally after an update). On the Mac, it's locked to whatever the desktop virtual resolution is.

Why is it so hard for Wizards and Epic to do a simple card game in a way it is playable??? (Look at Heartstone…)
We are not talking about a high graphics intense realtime game. (And they are playable on my machine without problems)
Come on. You can do it. The game is nearly unplayable right now. -

I have played Shadowverse and Hearthstone. I never thought a bug like this would last more than two weeks.

It has now been two weeks since this issue started and it still hasn't even been acknowledged by a real person at Wizards. If this was any company in the CCG industry they would have acknowledged it and fixed it within days.

They do not need mac players like us, we are too few. So is not a priority to fix this bug. Even the support team do not reply anymore if involved.

Still the same terrible performance after today's update. It's getting ridiculous.

When could you fix the bug? it makes the game unplayable on MacOS.

Someone on reddit said there was a fix in the FAQ but I can't find it. Where is it? https://old.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/vbiay1/unreal_magic_arena_eating_up_all_8_cores_on_a/icalps2/
If an opponent uses custom sleeves the game chugs and I have to just concede or I start roping.

It's still barely playable with the lowest graphics settings.

I know it's not a great work around, but if you're still on an intel based Mac, I just used bootcamp to install windows. I know I know, but it's lag free, and only took about 30 min to do the whole thing from install to playing. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

FWIW, I went to play a couple matches against Sparky ( I was already using a non-animated sleeve and I went with "no pet" ) -- still felt laggy compared to pre-6/2 update performance, but definitely somewhat improved compared to having a pet. Having to restrict my sleeve and pet choices for only partially improved performance (or, frankly, just play less altogether) is a real bummer. Hope this gets fixed soon.
