    This is not my first character with Zhelm but I forgot to bring proof last time. In the future I might record my runs.

    My setup
    Device: MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015)
    Processor: 1,6 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB
    Parallels: No
    VMware: No

    GFX
    • After you Enter
    • After Zakum spawn
    • After last arm
    • After every body
    Note: Between first and second body black boxes might appear frequently (they do for me). GFX every time!

    Shortcut GFX
    esc + double Up Arrow (or Down Arrow) + Enter + Left Arrow/Right Arrow).

    Leave feedback and/or questions in the comments.

    Now to help others out, did you do anything special or different from usual to complete the run?

    And what type of video card do you have on there? Since it's an Air, I assume you just have the Intel graphics card, and no discrete GPU, right?

    I can confirm from my own experience using a macbook air as well. In addition to graphical glitches, in almost every zak attempt I experience one huge lag during 2nd or 3rd body, which will last up to 5-10min+. Often I give up, dc, or die, but occasionally I survive.

    I play on a 2007 Macbook and it runs on OS X (version 10.7.5). When I went and checked a while back Im pretty sure this is like a 4 year old OS. I get through Zak runs fine with no issues, and recently got through Horntail first try with no issues. I guess not many people have an older Macbook but I think they definitely play Royals better.
