I've installed AoE on my mac, and I've run into an irritating problem. Most of the time when I play, the frame rate drops severely until gameplay is just frustrating. I have a powerbook g4 w/ 1.67ghz, 2 gig ram and a dedicated video card. This should be way more than enough to run this game. (I should point out that I can run AoEII and III fine on same computer)
The game runs in Classic (the os9 emulator).
Has anyone else run into this problem? What's strange is that it doesn't always happen; sometimes the gameplay is perfectly smooth. I've tried closing every other non-essential process with no success. Thanks and please help!

So, after uninstalling it and reinstalling it, I got it to not lag AS MUCH. It's still a bit jumpy occasionally, but it is not so bad since I didn't reinstall the 1.03 patch. It's at least playable now.

The game "jumps" when changing sound track. Even if music is disabled it still "jumps" when the music is supposed to change.
