When I run PA on my macbook pro i7 2.5Gz with a AMD Radeon HD 6770M and 8gigs of DDR3 the planets are just black with very little contrast, Crtl F11 doesn't work like it does on the windows version. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it just this version of PA that doesnt like my mac?
Man, I'm totally sure I'm look at 99.99% DxDiag's which uploaded on this forum. But bad thing is: Sometimes I'm still need to sleep, so I can't do that whole day. So be sure I'll look at your post and answer you.
hello im getting a problem with the planets being blacked out on my windows vista 64bit pc. heres my DxDiag:
Also your DxDiag.txt says your video card driver is dated 4/30/2013, you may need to find newer driver for your onboard GPU.
if your having trouble finding driver this one might be the one you need http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows Vista - 64
hi i dowloaded catlyst but it did not solve the problem. Also, what is FXAA??? How do i turn it off???
when you load PA , click settings there is an option called Anti-aliasing when its on the box says FXAA here's a pic of how i set my in game settings , hopefully this helps i play fullscreen mode, but i need to set windowed to get screenshots
To alpha789 - I'm the graphics programmer on PA, and I'd like to help you get the game running if I can. I had a couple of questions on what you're seeing when you run the game: 1. When you say "black planets" do you see anything at all on screen, or is the entire window black? If you see planets with features (e.g. trees, etc), but the surface is just black, then I'd be interested to know. If this is the case, I might be able to add another graphics settings preset to avoid this issue for your (and similar) machines. 2. Have you tried adjusting your settings to lower quality settings? In the settings screen, select low for the quality preset, and this should disable anti-aliasing, HDR, etc. Doing this will disable most of the advanced rendering features in the game. I'll follow up once I know more.
