Graphical Error and having really stuffty pictures and suddenly maps?

[Dillpickle]

Before you rant, yes this is a help thread in the GD but I took a look through that old graveyard and there's barely any activity, and this is a problem that I've been dealing with for a month that I can't seem to fix and I find it more important than the threads in the Help, so excuse the displacement and just help me please.

 Okay, so I've noticed that my graphics are really screwed up on my screenshots, and then it moved to Kerbal Space Program. Because of that I figured it was a computer problem and not Blockland alone, and since I'm running on Intel, that would be a better case.
 I don't know how it started or what made it act up, but here's basically the quote from the help thread I put in KSP forums. If I'm cross foruming please tell me and I'll remove the quote and retype it, but I'm mainly just doing this to save energy.

So I've been getting these errors a lot lately, and it's not just with Kerbal Space Program, but other games as well, like Blockland. The only thoughts I have about this is maybe my MacBook Pro's 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory. I'm running on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4.

I have a fresh version (Apart from three BOBCAT vehicles, and Editor Tools (newly added but the problem existed way before install) ) of 19.0.4.

Here are the images.



And this is a picture inside the Space Ship HUB.




Any suggestions that might be it? It can't be Kerbal Space Program directly because as said, it's a problem with other games as well, I might post a help thread inside that games forum to help narrow down the case. I'm running on a laptop I got from the School, meaning I can't edit or modify any preferences that will change the way the machine works, small tweaks perhaps but nothing too big like system upgrades or something.

And now, for the evidence from Blockland to support this forgetupery.





Again, sorry for posting this in General Discussion but the urgency to get this fixed is vital and I feel I'll get absolutely no where if I posted it in the Help thread, which no one looks at anymore.

By the way my computer hasn't taken any LSD or other forms of drugs.

I'm gonna be a richard and not help you because of the fact that you knew this was the wrong section and posted anyways just because you were impatient. The forums are suppose to be kept clean and organized, that's why there are categories. Post in the right section otherwise people won't help you.

Off topic but I lol'd so hard at the image of the youtube video bar.
ontopic: Probably try taking it to the Apple store or something to see whats wrong?
Because it might be the graphics card is getting forgeted.

Thanks, you are as helpful as I am in posting in the wrong thread. Not to mention that, "Post in the right section otherwise people won't help you." means nothing when no one even looks at the Help thread in the first place.

I'm unable to do any changed to the MacBook Pro for it's from the school, and they don't allow us to have any modifications on the machine. I'm wondering if someone knows the cause of this, or an easy fix that would work.

Did you try reinstalling the OS?

Did you try reinstalling the OS?

I don't know if I want to do that, since there's still a lot on this machine that I want saved, and reinstalling it could mess up something that the school has. I don't want to send it in to the school because they'll throw horse stuff for "downloading stupid stuff".

 Best case scenario is I just wait it off till the end of the school year, they factory reset every computer back to the backbone so if it's still persistant, it'll be fixed. That's in about 8 weeks still.

Did you try flushing the texture cache?

Update drivers, take it up with your school

[Reinforcements]

Your OS is outdated. Update it pls.

I'll see if I can do an update. I have a friend decrypting the admin password now, if I need that, I'll try it.

edit: Yeah I won't even be able to check for updates until I get the password from my friend.. hmp.

edit2:

Did you try flushing the texture cache?

How would this be done?

edit2: How would this be done?

Open console and type:

Code: [Select]

flushTextureCache();

But, considering this is happening throughout more than one game, I think it's something outside of blockland. Whenever you get that password, update your OS and drivers.

It's a big problem with your GPU memory. I'm going to guess your GPU memory is corrupted and that's not something you can fix software side. You'll need to take the machine in and get it repaired.

Did this just suddenly happen? If so, the GPU could be overheated. Off Topic: I saw a Youtube loading bar in last pic:D

And by Overheated it's.. broken?
Define this. I know this laptop has a really loud fan, so I'm guessing maybe I had open to many programs for the mac to cool down and it overheated?

Does the Mac feel too hot sometimes?
