Steve: Thats common with Max2D because it uses a totally outdated DX version. There is a user created DX9 driver for Max2D which is >= in speed as OpenGL for most users and hopefully might become an official driver in the future ... Otherwise Max2D as it stands is a lot but not cross plattform as it is nearly useless on Windows. (50% of the pc use Intel chip which works as bad with DX7 as with OpenGL ... )
