Why I have Vertical Black Lines on the Map？( Mac )

[Despacito@2022]

Excuse me ???
I can run the game fluently under the low or medium settings except these lines...
I have this bug on my New Macbook Pro 13" with touch bar when running the Mac ver. Civilization VI.
CPU i5-6267u
GPU iris 550
RAM 16g
macOS Sierra 10.12.1

OK guys. Looks like the Intel Iris 540 is the problem. Not supported. Luckily I was within the return window. Returned it, got last years model with the Iris 6100 (which is supported!) and now the game runs better and no black lines! Easy fix... :) Not to mention I got $798 refund! Merry Christmas to me!

Pretty sure the 6100 isn't supported either. Only Intel integrated graphics supported are Iris Pro.

[Johnny Foodstamp]

Says right on Aspyr's page that 6100 is supported.

"If your Mac is running 10.11.6 or 10.12, has a 2.7GHz or better i5 or newer processor, has more than 6GB of RAM and is equipped with one of the following video cards…BUY IT, PLAY IT, AND ENJOY:

NVIDIA® GeForce® 775M, 780M

Intel® HD Graphics IRIS PRO, IRIS 6100, IRIS 6200, IRIS PRO 5200, IRIS PRO 6200"

Huh. They must have expanded the range of HW supported. Very quietly.

[Johnny Foodstamp]

Pretty funny how the newer fancy schmansy late 2016 model has the 540, which isn't supported. Not to mention the 2016s only have 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports! hahaha No USB. No SD. No HDMI port. Non magnetic charge port that sucks. And so much more expensive. I am so happy I figured this out.

Since it's just a black line, I wouldn't expect it to be there for long. Something as "simple" should be possible to either fix, or at least workaround.

[Johnny Foodstamp]

It's not just black lines. Certain other textures flicker as well. I know it's nitpicky but hey that's just me.

Has anyone been able to install MacOS 10.12.2 yet to see if it fixes the vertical black lines?

[Phillipp]

Hi all,
the latest version won't fix it. I haven't installed it yet, but I am running the latest beta which includes the graphic patches already.

Concerning compatibility: That is just ridiculous! This game runs very well and without any graphic issues on that very Macbook 2016 when using Bootcamp.

And I had a similar impression to what Johnny Foodstamp mentioned earlier, that he did not run into these lines when he started the game for the first time. However, I cannot document that.

I am thinking about returning my replacement unit as well. It's just really annoying that these issues are not addressed by Apple, even though they released a new version. If it were only Civ, alright, but there are glitches everywhere. Civ V does not have these issues btw. (and has got a better AI, but *psssst*)

This really sucks you peeps are having this issue. I have a friend who buys mac laptops but does all his gaming with a desktop not running mac. Really sucks that in 2016 MAC still can't get their OS to play nice with games.

That's a choice on their part sadly.

Yes, you guys are right! It is really sad that Apple is neglecting the game industry. On iOS, for instance, the abundance of games is just insane (mobile games are not my thing, though)!

Interestingly, Apple released a first Beta for 10.12.3. Apparently, they could not really fix all the issues they wanted in the previous iteration, so maybe we are lucky this time.

And btw, I installed the latest base version (10.12.2), and as I expected, the error still occurs.

It's all about context - It is a known fact that Apple don't like games on their desktop OS, and haven't for a long time. They use old, stable but low performance drivers, and refuse to open up their platform in any way for game developers to help.

There's a reason why a single company does the vast majority of all Apple ports - And that is something Aspyr have been doing since before the iPhone.
