[MAC] black screen with some polygonal shapes

[flatway]

Opening the game everything runs fine, but when spawning in, the screen is mostly black. If I move around, the occasional polygon makes it through. This largely depends on what resolution I start the game at. But none of the resolutions work enough to let me see where I'm going. I also changed the performance setting to "everything off"

Your graphics card is useless.

I had this exact same thing with the exact same graphics card, on the exact same machine (but with only 3 GB RAM).

Spend some cash.

Well that's good to know.

Thanks for the reply. Before I go looking for the correct thread, anyone know what the best graphics card for a MAC is? Specifically for this game.

Nevermind, it's in the mac forum

Good stuff Flat. Yeah that card is probably not up to snuff I'm afraid.
