I'm running Humankind on a Mac Apple Silicon M2 Pro 16GB. Performance wise the game runs quite nicely and I'm really happy that the developers have released an Apple Silicon version of the game. I understand that this is not often the case for other games and really appreciate it.
Just one small issue is reducing the game experience right now on my Mac, which is a flickering effect. See the following example.
This flickering is happening on all graphic quality settings, in window and fullscreen mode. And it happens on all zoom levels inside the game.
Does anybody experience the same issue? Or does anybody even have found a way to solve it?
That would be great, because I just purchased all DLCs and really want to enjoy this game in its full beauty.
Thanks for the report! Could we get more info on the model of Mac you are playing on? We checked on a few of the M2 Macs we have available and were unable to reproduce this so far, but we may not be checking on the same model you're using.

Hi,
I can reproduce this issue since day 1, this occurs in a Macbook M1 Pro 16 Inch (16GB Ram) when playing at the best resolution (4112x2658). Whenever I reduce to 3456x2234, this issue disappears. Because this bug could be "fixed" like this, I never reported it, but I have a worse bug now that I need to report and saw this one listed, so I figured I'd leave this note here.
Sorry, I just did see that there is an update here. (Didn't get a notification email)
Sure, I can tell you more details. I have a couple of Macs to test. I tested with the following models:
Macbook M2 Air 8GB
Macbook M1 Pro 16GB
Macbook M2 Pro 16 GB RAM/19 GPU
Macbook M2 Max 32 GB RAM/38 GPU
On all these models do I see the same flickering effect.
BTW, it was great to see the Mac version of Humankind been included in the latest Apple WWDC presentation. Hopefully this will help to make it available to more Mac players.
Somehow it seems to be related to the selected resolution. As @logsys mentioned, the issue disappears when not playing at the best resolution. But then the text and interface is not as sharp anymore and appears a bit blurry.
Is there an option to play at best resolution without the flicker to appear?
Hi @Saikana I am running this on a newly bought Mac Studio M2 Max and I have the exact same issue. I was facing same issue on my 6 year old iMac as well.
On my Mac Studio, changing the quality level from fantastic to fastest made no difference and the issue remains. What made a change is if I step down from the highest resolution to the 2nd highest resolution. My highest resolution is 6016 x 3384 which causes this problem and the 2nd highest is 3840 x 2160 which solves the problem.
same issue on a Mac Studio M2 Max 32 GB. When changing resolutions it seems to be fixing the problem, even when switching back to the original max resolution. And it seems it's only happening when running HumanKind for the first time.
