Problems on Retina MacBook Pro

[Wet_Jimmy]

Looks like anything other than Windowed mode on the Retina MacBook Pro is a problem - my game is current stuck in full screen mode, and appears to crash, necessitating a "hold the power button for five seconds" reboot.

Anyone else experienced this / know how to force the game out of fullscreen mode?

Cheers,

WJ.

Pressing Cmd-Option-Esc won't save you? The force quit dialog is very good at coming to the front, or kicking a misbehaving fullscreen app (unlike the bad old days of 10.5).

Disabling Automatic Graphics Switching worked for me. You can find it through System Preferences > Energy Saver

Ok this is a pain, were can we report this but to the FTL team so they can fix this, this bug still exists having to turn off graphics switching, it becomes a real problem if you forget to turn it back on and move away from your mains power supply on my rMBP

I admit I stopped playing and won't be supporting the developer in any future endeavours.

I admit that due to Apple's crappy driver support I won't be purchasing another Mac in the future.

--typing this on a Mac, and yes I'm serious; bootcamp into Windows or Linux and you won't have these problems. Try it!
