Random freezes on Mac


Jagulard
  • Branch: Live Branch Version: OSX Pending

Since the Tubular update, the game freezes (stops responding, spinning rainbow wheel) at random moments, usually within one cycle of play.

System: OS X (10.10.5), 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 24 GB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB


Steps to Reproduce
Simply play the game for a short period of time. It happens with new colonies and saved games.



User Feedback


Update: I tried a clean install. Still the same freezes at random moments.

I can confirm that the fan starts working at full speed about 5-10 seconds before a freeze. This leads me to think it may be GPU-related?

disable scaling, I'm seeing the same "Shader failed" on scaling as the nvidia win 10 error o.o

It updated to TB-247630 this morning, and the problem is gone. I've been able to play both new and saved games through several cycles without the freeze.

Which is not to say it's running perfectly- the sound still lags/cuts out/stutters, and very occasionally it will freeze when I right-click-drag the screen. But it's playable now.
