Mac issue

Post by Verin »

I am currently running Max OS X 10.5.8

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac9,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: IM91.008D.B08

I do not get textures, it is all white. I have been playing the game and enjoying it but now im kinda getting tired of all the white, it also prevents me from playing water containing maps.

I heard from some threads that i needed to update something, but i need a solid answer, there are too many solutions to my one problem.

I have recently started playing online and its very fun, apart from the random freezes.

The problem
No textures in game

Attempted solutions

re-installed
used the "software update" in the top left

What do i need to do, if it costs money, then forget it i have none.

Please help, thanks

Have you tried what's on the Download page which says,
Note for OS X

You need X11 installed (should come by default since 10.5), which can be found on the install DVD .
If you have a Nvidia based Mac on 10.5.6-10.5.9, there is a bug that makes the game look wrong. To fix, upgrade to 10.6 or higher, or use these custom Nvidia drivers.
So try following those steps..

EDIT: Seems to me that the custom Nvidia drivers are free

:hmm: I've no idea what you got and where you got it from.. But if you downloaded it from here then it's for a mac.

Are you sure that you can't open the rapidshare link? Coz it's working fine for me..
