Graphics Glitch on Mac OSX Lion

[comr4de]

I've had this issue since I've installed BL onto my new laptop. It's a 13" refurbished macbook pro with an Intel HD 3000 Graphics card.

here are pictures of my problem.


Okay, nothing looks too bad right now. Let's move the cursor down a little bit...

oh dear.


This includes the interior of builds as well.

Seems fine now...

alas, it was not meant to be.

Please help me sort this out. It makes building difficult at best, as my eye catches these graphical errors and makes it difficult to focus.

Noedit: This problem is most evident on darker maps. On construct or skylands the issue is *almost* nonexistent. It still shows its ugly face from time to time.

Did you try putting resetLighting(); in console?

[comr4de]

yes, didn't do anything.

Try loading your build in a different map.

Read it again kiddo.

I have this problem sometimes on my Windows XP. It happens more for me on terrain maps than slate. Actually, it has never happened on any slate / plate map for me. Only terrain. That's why I'm happy about V21.
It's weird because sometimes a circle of either light or darkness flashes around me when this happens. Usually it is dark but at first it is normal, then quickly flashes to light, and darkens to a gray or black.
Hard to focus.

I've seen a few people (Drake and Ephi come to mind) with new Macbook Pros with this problem. I have no idea what it is but my late 2010 MBP doesn't have the problem. Must be hardware/driver related, not sure there's anything you can do.

This used to happen on my old computer when I would run the game for a long time, the integrated video was too hot and it would start causing graphical glitches, most likely you Mac's onboard video is probably overheated, let it cool down for some hours and try again and see if its still glitched.

Looks remarkably much like the effect of a broken or glitched negative large light.

Also comr4de you sneaky bish are you making variants of everything again.

bump

As I said, all new Macbook Pros I've seen have the same issue so I doubt anyone here has a solution. If it really bothers you, contact Apple.

Cross your fingers that the GPU isn't integrated.

Try uploading your drivers, although I dont think there are any upgrades to Intel HD....
