No single reaction of the developers about these issues. Poor service.

I'm also affected by this bug. Through trial and error, I come to believe that this is a problem with the ATI graphics drivers

System:

Macbook Pro 15'' late 2011

2.2 GHz Core i7

Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics

AMD Radeon 6750M 512 MB

OSX 10.10 Yosemite

Usually when I start a game the AMD graphics is switched on. Then when I try to access the game menu from a running game, I experience the bug, i.e. instead of the game menu with Save & Load etc I see clouds.

I can manually force my Mac to only use the HD 3000 integrated graphics (using the program gfxcardstatus). If I do that before starting the game, then I do not have the bug, I get the proper menu. Unfortunately the game is unplayable with the HD3000 graphics.

I hope this helps with reproducing the bug. Most people who are reporting here have an AMD GPU as well.

Yep. That's the problem I was seeing when I was sort of able to get the game to come up on an external monitor. Looks like the windowed size is failing to account for the Mac's navigation bar and is assuming it has the entire screen surface.

Are all Mac with AMD GC affected ? I guess this is a good lead to solve the issue.

I have this issue too. Also, the "Archives" don't work. I absolutely love the game, though, and I can't wait for these issues to be updated. I want all my friends to get it so we can play together.

I have the same issue of a escape screen that covered by the background texture, with tool help popups showing where the menus are so I can blind click.

It works for the first quarter second that the menu is up, you are doing a transparency blend to fade the screen in, then it become invisible, instead of opaque.

The transparency value may be wrapping around and going negative on some cards.

This is also happening to me. iMac 27" with 10.8.5 with a AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024MB video card. I just got the game and was very excited to play it but without being able to save, it isn't very playable. Could you add some Save and Load hotkeys to the next patch for a workaround? With the Steam sale I bet a lot of Mac users bought the game and are having similar issues.

I've also had this happen when switching resolutions. I can't reproduce it.

Hello there, here is a message of AmpliMath:

AmpliMath wrote:
Hi all,

I am deeply sorry about the inconvenience. I have contacted AMD again to learn their progress. I think it is difficult for them because the crash is random and it takes some time to reproduce. As the game works perfectly in other configurations, I can only assume that it is an issue between Unity 64 bits and AMD drivers.

There is a new version of Unity coming up in the next weeks/months, version 5.0, and its editor runs natively in 64 bits, as opposed to 4.X where the editor is 32 bits and we make a special build in 64 bits. My hope is that when people equipped with AMD starts migrating on Unity 5 and have the editor crash every now and then, the problem will become more serious for Unity and AMD

Anyway I will update you when I have more news.

Cheers,

Source.

I am having the same problem... Has there been any updates for this issue? Pretty frustrating stuff, esp because you can't see the 'assemblage of wisdom'.

I feel cheated by Amplitude meanwhile.

Spend my money weeks ago for this game and still can´t play it. And they still keep on selling the game without any warnings for Mac users with ATI cards!

I've sent several messages to Amplitude, they haven't even bother to respond saying they are working on the issue. Poor customer service. Isn't there a manager that monitors their communication from customers?

Forget it! I think they don´t care about Mac users. And now I don´t care about Amplitude. I never will buy a game from this "studio" again.
