Are you running fullscreen or windowed? If fullscreen, try the latter to see if that helps.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Arthur,

I have tried running in windowed mode and it does SEEM to be less fidgety, but I have a question for you:

what display settings are you using on your iMac
and
what game graphics settings?

I've tried several combinations and none are quite right. Some make the UI too big (or too small) despite using the scaling slider. Most make the viewable screen FAR smaller than the whole image (I can only see a fraction of the normal view).

The closet I can get it to being usable, leaves the bottom half of the HUD cut off for some reason. Everything else is ok, but is there a way to either move the HUD up slightly (not just moving it to the top) or expanding the vertical viewable area just a tad?

Thanks!

I sent you an email in-game, but for anyone else interested here's the condensed version of my setup. I've highlighted aspects (*) which I've confirmed lead to increased stability. YMMV, but it's at least a starting point for troubleshooting and tweaking your own setup.

iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Late 2014), 'More Space' (3200x1800 resolution)
4 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3, 250GB Flash Drive* (makes a huge difference)
AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4 GB, OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

I'm running three (3) windowed clients with the following settings:
• Main @ 2048x1152 and Clones @ 1600x900
• Multithreaded OpenGL disabled* (critical, as this almost always kills stability)
• No Turrets/launchers, camera shake, GPU particles (more personal preference)
• Resource Cache Enabled* (very important, as this causes lots of unnecessary disk access)
• All other graphics settings are enabled and set to high with the exception of anti-aliasing (medium) and shader quality (which is limited to medium under Cider)

I'm currently 6+ hours logged in with multiple clients and since disabling setting music to 0 it's been seamless. 40+ fps on all 3 clients, no lagging, pauses, freezes or unexpected crashes.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
