Error in Left For Dead 2 - re-enable texture compression - OS X 10.7.5

[shawn]

I've suddenly started getting an error when I start up Left for Dead 2. It pops up with the message that I need to re-enable texture compression. Then the program shuts down.

How does one re-enable texture compression in OS X 10.7.5? How did it get disabled anyway? I was playing LFD2 fine a week or so ago. I updated OS X with a recent update from Apple. Did that hoop my video card settings?

Thanks,
Shawn

Right click on the game and go to

"Properties" > "Local Files" > "Verify Integrity of Game Cache"

Hi Dr. Atomic,

This didn't help, unfortunately. Any other suggestions?

Cheers,
Shawn

It's related to using an external monitor on my Macbook Pro. I'm using a monitor via a vga cable. The game works on the laptop's native screen. It worked a few weeks ago, but seems to not now. I'll keep fighting with it.

Any progress on that?
I have that same issue. It started showing that error about a week ago, I also think that was after a OS X Lion update. Tried installing Nvidia drivers, repairing permissions and everything I could find or think about that, but unsuccessfully.

Good to know that you can play using your native display, my problem is that I use a Mac Mini, there is no native display. So I still don't get any solutions or workarounds.

Hello, my problem solved when I changed my monitor.
I was having this issue using a Samsung S13B300. Now I use a LG IPS236 without any problems.

Hello, I had the same problem with my Mac Mini (Lion) when connected to a 1080p TV.
I think the problem is with the monitor resolution to solve changed the setting to 720p. Now is running perfect! =)
I hope I helped.
