Questions about gameplay on Mac

[Julian Dreykorn]

Hi all,

recently I ran SoundRTS from source on MacOS. It worked basically just
as normal, but there were two things I'm wondering about:

First, startup takes rather long, for a while it just says Python is not
responding, then after 10-15s it starts up. I don't think it's a
hardware problem, as this is an M1 macbook. In comparison, the more than
7 years old and generally very slow Windows laptop I mainly use (I5
processor) gets it running in seconds. What's going on there that it
needs so long?

And second, most keys work - but not all. Especially control+arrows to
fly over squares, ignoring walls, doesn't work. Any idea why this is, is
it somehow else occupied? I'm very new to MacOS, so maybe I don't know
of something.

Thank you in advance, if someone has a hint why that happens.

Best, Julian
