Mac OS 10.10.2 - Full screen mode is just a black screen

from Offworld Forums

I had this issue in the previous beta and had hoped it would be resolved, but am still seeing this with the latest release. Though, at least now it seems the drop-down bug has been fixed (previously, I wasn't able to change any of the options in the settings because none of the drop-downs would drop-down when clicked).

 

Whenever I enable full screen mode (either through the Options->Full Screen toggle - or by using the Cmd-F option), it goes full screen, however there is nothing displayed. Just a black screen. The game is still running, as I can hear game actions and music - and my cursor seems to change to the appropriate style when over things - it is as if the game is running, except all graphics - except for the cursor - are 100% transparent in front of a black background.

 

Specs:

Mac Pro 2013 (nMP)

AMD Firepro D700 (2x)

16GB RAM

2 displays - each running 2560x1440

I'm sorry things aren't working as they should.

To address this issue, Joel has sent multiple bug ticket requests to Unity. This error occurs with the sample project that they include with Unity, so we are convinced it has something to do with their Mac rendering/system logic.

We are probably going to sit on this issue for a while because we're hoping that Unity will address it in an upcoming patch and it only effects players when they switch to and from full screen on the Mac. This is not ideal and not how we want the game to be when it leaves Early Access, but people can play the game.

Thank you for your feedback.
