Mac OSX BLACK Planets

There is a confirmed bug apparently affecting all macs with AMD type video cards.

This took me a while to find and its been out there for over a month. Makes it pretty much unplayable so the beta is more like a pre-alpha.

If you're affected please go vote for this bug. ther

For me, this bug was fixed with beta version 54459: planets show up normally, though not all graphics are perfect.

I'm running Late 2011 MacBook Pro, AMD Radeon HD 6770M, Mac OS X 108.5.

Still broken in beta

MacBookPro8,2
Intel Core i7, 8G ram
AMD Radeon HD 6490M, 256M VRam

BETA v.54459

It won't be fixed tonight but it's a high priority issue.

I have the same issue. It has to do with having an older graphics card.

Here's the bug tracker in link form: http://pa.lennardf1989.com/Tracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1990

Add your info there and vote for it.

Thankfully the game is still playable – just can't see what the surface is supposed to be like.

I'm glad it's a high priority issue.

I'll be able to get casting and getting Tournaments going on PA Matches once it's fixed.

Keep up the great work guys!

Thanks for the inside scoop! Hope we can get to a beta state on Mac soon, its stabilizing.

This is still present in 54574.

Still broken in 54631

That's a bummer. Really wanting this bug fixed. :-/

Just an update. This is actively being worked on but it being a total pita to figure out. It only happens on a subset of macs that (unfortunately) have older drivers. We literally have several people trying to figure this out so hopefully we'll get it figured out today or tomorrow.

I just saw a planet running that wasn't black. The temp fix isn't shippable but they have a handle on it (something to do with srgb texture stuff).

Well seeing the Mac drivers can only be supplied by Apple as part of OS updates (a pain in the arse) and many of the affected have the latest OSX update available it's not really "older drivers" seeing apart from the developer version of Mavericks there is nothing newer than 10.8.5.

Blasted Apple...

This issue has been resolved and will be in the next build. We are having to work around driver bugs.

Much love, drivers sucks...

Awesome, though I don't suppose theres much chance of you convincing apple to fix the driver bug/update the driver next time they release an OSX update.

it works!!! awsome! thanks guys, runs nicely with texture on my system now!
i havent seen any trees though, but only played one map, still mountains and voids are all nicely visible!

thanks alot for the fix!!!

AWESOME !!!!! Thanks for the fix

Okay now it's looks like we can close it on tracker.

Works for me too!

Thanks guys! You rock.

Very nice thanks, it's nice to see the colour again!
