Unplayable on MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Max

[nedclark]

Game is unplayable on new macbook pro's due to graphics glitches. Have tried multiple display settings to no avail. Blooming artifacts, pixels everywhere. Screen one big rainbow. Reddit forums for mac games noting same issue. If anyone with a similar set up has a solution, let me know. (Will be trying game via parallels/windows shortly....)

[nedclark]

Game works relatively well through parallels/windows. So it's not a hardware issue but rather one of the mac client not working on the newer M1 silicon laptops.

Edit/Update: Workaround from below also added to our support articles:

Still artefacts are arising. When do you guys have this fix in your backlog?

Stolen from Reddit, this person got a fix. Can confirm it works.

I use steam to launch Wasteland 3.

In the Steam launch options for Wastland 3 I changed the Launch options to

-force-opengl

So instead of the Metal API the game use the deprecated (but still functional ) Open GL rendering.

If you use another launcher to open the game I am sure you can doe it there also.

I don't think I can show a screenshot in reddit.

Hey,

Thanks for the tip this is really solving the problem, but is cutting a bit the resolution. And some artefacts still in place but much better now
