Game is completely unplayable on Mac/Apple Silicon after the update

All I can see is a bloom effect that looks like it's surrounding the specularity on the objects in my FOV. The bloom halos are the ONLY thing that's rendering, or it's rendering non-transparently on top of everything else. I can't see a thing, can't play at all. :(

Change MetalFX from Temporal to Spatial.

I don't know how to do that, or rather, I'm not seeing that option! Thanks, though.

I got it to work by restarting several times and rotating saves, somehow.

Now it's running OK but a bit slower than before. There seem to be certain shader effects rendering incorrectly. The screens in my starship are half the wrong hue along a clean line. On the ground, there's a weird floating box in the upper left that seems like it's supposed to be a full-screen shader pass for something but instead it's just rendering in that one quadrant and (probably) in the wrong colors.

I don't see the wind/waves/etc. Some plants seem more detailed and there's A LOT of volumetric fog and particle effects... and that's kinda it?

I saw the same problem, and switching away from "Temporal" sorted it, although I haven't made up my mind what AA settings to actually use.

same issue here, just bought the game and started it up. Black screen with only the HUD, thought I spawned in a weird dust biome. Running a 2022 Mac studio.

I would suggest MSAA x4. "Metal Spatial" looks pixelated as ♥♥♥♥.

Thanks. It seems to have been fixed in 5.00.1.
