Hi there, If I try to launch DoD on fullscreen on my MBP (2007 Core 2 Duo - ATI x1600 128 - 4gb ram) it only shows a white screen. I can hear audio, pull up steam overlay, and I can hear mouse passing over buttons. It's just all white. If instead I try to play that in windowed, I get an insane mouse lag, so much that I can actually see the trail left behind the mouse cursor. I don't have to say that these issues are really preventing me from actually play the game...
Are you running with the -opengl flag in launch options or something? Since as far as I know that is the only way to get overlay, but it causes misc issues with different people, so I'd disable it and see if the problem goes away. Alternatively, if you aren't using it, try to use it, who knows.
hmmm, how do I flag it on a Mac? in the launcher I can just choose resolution, smooth graphics and fullscreen...
ok, did that: no happy news. everything is exactly as before :/ BTW, it's not steam related, since I first bought it with HIB, and as a standalone it had the same exact behaviour.
-opengl doesn't do anything on the Mac, because we always force OpenGL mode there. That option is for Windows and Linux people. The X1600 GPU has problems with non-power-of-two textures; even though on Mac OS X it says it supports them, it doesn't support them well on this hardware...I suspect you're getting bit by that. Since we use a texture the size of the window (or fullscreen resolution), you're probably getting bit by this. I have an iMac with an X1600 here, so I'll see if I can reproduce it and dig up a solution.
Yeah, I was right. Swapped in GL_ARB_texture_rectangle support and it fixes this problem on my iMac (and windowed mode performance is much better too). This fix will be in the next patch.
thanks a lot!! that brings up another question of course... do you have any idea when this patch will be released?
Just downloaded last patch from Steam, now it works BEAUTIFULLY, thank you!! I'm gonna buy the DLC to thank you! PS: are you the same Ryan C. Gordon on Icculus bugzilla? because I've just sent a bug report for Psychonauts aswell... haha it quite seems I'm bug-stalking you!
