Graphics glitch on MacBook Pro M1
Hi there,

I bought new Apple MBP 13" M1. The game loads successfully, however, it shows unexplored area white.
See the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/11af6nf

Side note: Wow, it DOES work on M1. I guess I'll buy M1 after all...

After my multiple request to the developers, here is what I got to know. Mac development got the devs into so much trouble so far, and so much expenses (IIRC they spent > $100k in resources), that they said "damn never again". These resources never paid back in Mac sales.

I DO hope that this glitch is relatively easy to fix, but AFAIK M1 development is way, way different. Maybe it's only the background color that gets set incorrectly on M1.

It's unfortunately the problem that I don't have a M1 to test what's wrong, and I definitely can't afford one. It's obviously a bug with MoltenVk's compatibility layer (less probably with M1 itself), because M1's the only device on which this glitch happens, so we're basically hunting for a way to work around it. We're asking around friends hoping someone can lend an M1, and we'll definitely try to nail this bug before 1.0.

Thanks for your reply! Looking forward to playing JH on M1, since my old Macbook is struggling with the game. :)

Also, wish you all the best with the game's sales, someone of your talent and dedication should be able to afford all the equipment they can imagine!

Any news on this? It would be great if we could expect this one to be fixed before 1.0 release :)

Happy to see that the devs are aware and possibly fixing this? I only have the M1 (traded in my old mac to get one) so having this bug AFTER purchasing the game kinda sucks. Still, ya'll work looks amazing and I can't wait to be able to stream and play this game at some point?

Working on a possible fix that will land next version, hopefully it will work!

thank you so much for the continued communication!

We've indentified the exact feature that is causing this anomaly. We're working on a workaround, worst case we'll disable this graphical effect for OSX. Stay tuned!

Yaaay!

We have a fix, and it seems to be working - it will be deployed with the next version (tentatively June 28) :)

And update is live! Please report if the issue is fixed!
