Well, I have been enjoying the beta up until now, but after eagerly downloading the new build this evening every time I start a new game, all I get is a solid black screen populated with green dots for metal points. The game does however render the strategic icons for units - resulting in a commander floating in a black void surrounded by mexes. I have tried with all planet types, of all different sizes at least once and it appears that my laptop (or the game) isn't letting me play anymore...

Disable HDR. There is some problem with it and it's also happen on Linux open source drivers. I didn't investigate what exactly wrong yet.
Also can you please open this directory: ~/Library/Application Support/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/log/ And upload few log files here on forum. I'll check if there some shaders errors that cause problem on Intel/OS X.
