Has anyone worked out what's going on with Mac OS X 10.5.7

[jfisher]

As we all know, on our windows machines we just go find another driver, be it an older version or even a fancypants homebrew driver. Is that doable on OS X, too?

[Zarel]

Well, I think the textures are getting loaded improperly or something. Maybe it's a bug with libpng on Mac OS X?

I dunno, I can't think of very many things that would cause this.

[jfisher]

Hate to think that we may have to wait for Apple to update OS X again and maybe it fixes itself.

Nonsense. If it was a bug with libpng, then it wouldn't work on the other chipsets.

This is only Nvidia specific.

What people need to do is file a bug report with apple on their radar, bugreport.apple.com

That is the only way Apple will take a look.

The problem doesn't fix itself. Apple releases a new update of OSX with working drivers. Just like they have on a couple occasions previous to this one.

Let's not get into semantics arguments with the users... I'm sure that's what jfisher meant.

Yeah it fixes itself, Apple/Nvidia fix it, all the same if it's not us. In other news. I'm trying to get at least as far as Loadedwookie did using xcode, but frankly I don't know what I'm doing. I tried putting his command in Terminal and I got it to say "build successful" after much effort, but couldn't figure out how to run the app with those settings. Anyone care to help me out? Being the Mac tech is a new job I got recently and I'm trying to learn some chops

Ironically the bugreport site returns an error (with a reporting email address, [email protected] i believe) when I try to log in.

... how 'bout dem Cowboys...

That's funny coming from you.

Hey cool story, I recently had to reimage my mac and so now i'm on 10.5.6. I presume the texture issue isn't there on that version, so is there anything I can post, some kind of debug log or something, that may help us narrow down the issue?



EDIT scratch that, it's broken in 10 5 6

[Zarel]

Okay, so it was added somewhere 10.5.3 - 10.5.6.

That narrows it down a bit.

[marbles]

No change in 10.5.8

[Vermithrax]

I concur. No change.

I first entered a bug on the bugreporter itself, at least that is fixed now.

Can we cooperate a bit on what the input should be to apple....?

I can enter the bug but I need help with the problem description...

This is probably not going to help:
"Warzone 2100 textures don't work anymore on Mac's with Nvidia GT120 cards, it was broken somewhere around 10.5.6 and has probably to do something with the Nvidia drivers"

[jnesheim]

This appears to be fixed in OS X 10.6 (10A432) with the GeForce 8600M GT running WZ 2.2.1.
