Mac white screen after load up

[Petite]

hello all, exciting to be playing NMS on mac but theres a very large graphics issue with the Intel macs. The game doesn't load the graphics after launching, only loading the main screen and the loading screen with the stars. It plays the audio and i'm able to interact with the environment but all i see is a white screen and the ambient music in the background. Checking to see if anyone else has problems or if this issue has been addressed by hello games.

The white screen at the end (once you are past the stars rolling by load screen) should have an E prompt in the middle of the screen. (at least for KB/M)

You have to hold the E key until the ellipse fills in. Not sure what a controller equivalent is.

Once you complete that task, the actual game starts.

Edit: get used to holding buttons down. A lot of sequences in the game require that action.

He has already completed this task, he is able to interact with the environment. This is a problem that many are experiencing so far, including myself.

It's a completely white screen, with no E prompt in the middle. When I held the E key, I could interact and hear my character moving, but it was still a white screen.
TLDR game intractable but white screen on intel macs

I got past the white screen part but it runs like an absolute dog afterwards on my Intel Mac. I made a seperate post about it.

Same here. It's like I can hear the game but not see anything - everything is just white. Macbook Pro 2018 i7

I'm in the same camp. Macbook Pro 2020 i7. Hopefully a patch comes soon!
Update: I sent a bug report to Hello Games, maybe if more people submit bug reports they will respond to this sooner. https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

M1 mac here, just wanted to chime in that the game runs for me, but otherwise it's an absolute ****show: bugs bugs bugs everywhere. Only in my second system and already ran into:
- Falling through ground
- Can't mine into ground
- Waypoints randomly breaking and points to random terrain
- Infinite loading/teleport screens (especially for loading in-game instead of from title screen)
- Visibly broken/bad ground surface geometry
- Buildings spawning in terrain
and many others. TLDR: both intel and arm Mac versions are super jank atm. Gonna stop playing and wait for 1-2 updates before starting over.
