Mac Problems

[Ally Rat]

So when I try the play the game on my Mac it either: doesn't load or takes forever to load. And when it loads its laggy as hell, so I lower the game settings and it runs fine but when I try to start a new game the loading screen takes forever and it just goes black and I can hear the sounds of the cutscene and then it either crashes or doesn't continue past that and all I hear is the wind. I will be honest my computer is a good six years old but I am running and news Yosemite OSX and I can run games like outlast on it fine. I like the game and I really want to play it. Please help!

I would like to add that I just tried again and it actually worked! But like the other time that it actually worked it crashed the second she was got onto her raft with the dog. Im going to try and update my entire computer to the new OSX and see if that helps.

You mentioned that it's an older mac... could you share your specs? I'm wondering what video card you have in particular.

[Ally Rat]

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010)
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NBIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB

I don't really know what most of this means to be honest and while it could be the graphics card this has never happened to me before when playing game. Sorry for the trouble and I appreicate the help! Glad to see you guys so actively involved in your community!

I can't play this game at all. I have a newer mac. All the mouse does is spaz out. The menu freaks out and doesn't load correctly. I don't get it. I want to play the game, but it's like very impossible.

I'm playing 0.5.001 on Mac, so I'll share my specs, too. Not seeing any of these issues.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

And Yosemite (10.11.2)

The new update has even worse mouse support on the Mac. The mouse drifts aimlesslessly and buffers clicks and then spits them out seconds later. Opening inventory syncs the mouse properly but this no longer carries over to the game play making it impossible to play properly.

Recovery from inventory animation takes seconds now and in those seconds the mouse will lose sync.

The game is unplayable.

I'm using a two year old iMac with a basic USB mouse.

drunken_katori - have you tried turning "use custom cursor" off in options?

[drunken_katori]

@Stuckbug- turning off 'use custom cusrsor' does not help.

The game is about to leave early access. Is it working on mac already?

[numbertwopencil]

I've mostly been playing on a fairly new MacBook Pro, mid-2015, 2.5 GHz i7. I've had cursor problems (which mostly go away if I use a mouse in place of the trackpad) and assorted video problems at times. Rebooting seemed to handle the video problems that sprang up at times when changing resolution/monitor. Using a mouse didn't completely solve the mouse issue--there's still a fair amount of drifting/jumping going on--but it makes the game playable, for me.

We've got a number of mac fixes in the next update.

[Andre Solo]

All good now?

Thank you for the reply. I bought the game, controls are working super fine -xbox360 wired controller here- and FPS is great BUT
I'm getting a weird glitch graphics sometimes, mostly at night, specially if there's a thunderstorm: Some huge chunks of color appear on top of objetcs, like... plants have a green square around them, spotlights have a pink one, and so on.
I played around with the graphics settings but nothing seems to make any difference.
I've taken a screenshot, if you want to take a look at it, let me know where to upload it.
Any ideas of what's going on?

[Andre Solo]

Yep, pretty much unplayable the way it is... Unless instead of surviving the point of the game is to enjoy a psychodelic mood before certain death
