So NOT fixed in 10.5.8, but FIXED in 10.6?

Can anyone else verify this information?

Is it possible to use the drivers from 10.6 on 10.5.x ?

It might be possible to manually insert the driver into Leopard, but I can't really say if that would work or not. I also have not had a chance to try the 64-bit kernel and verify if WZ works or not. If I get a chance in the next few days I'll post my results.

This is the version information from the driver bundles and kext files on my system:
GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle: GeForce8xxxGLDriver 1.6.0.92 (18.6.5f11)
GeForceVADriver.bundle: GeForceVADriver 1.6.0.92 (18.6.5f11)
GeForce.kext: 1.6.0

My Snow Leopard upgrade should arrive on Friday. I'll let y'all know.

Woah, woah, woah. 10.6 as in Snow Leopard? You don't mean 10.5.6, do you?
Are you saying that Snow Leopard = FIXED? O_O

Yay?

Oh, and by the way, I was the first to submit a bug report to Apple. This was my description:
Guess that isn't necessary anymore.

Yes, 10.6 = Snow Leopard

*confetti*

Has this been fixed on trunk (on purpose or indirectly) as I can reproduce this with 2.2.2, but a build from trunk (as of r8051) works just fine? This is on 10.5.8, both builds done with Xcode 3.1.3.

The main trunk renderer is not affected by this bug. However, its decal renderer is. See the first page of this thread...

Namely, this screenshot:

Hi, Sorry if this is of no use/Doesnt work but im running 10.5.8 at the mo, Warzone was not working at all 2 days ago at all but has just decided to start working of its own accord and weirdly, im having none of these graphical issue's.

When i tried to do a debug on it, there seemed to be a problem with open AL, and now it seems to have found this with the only changes me making to my system being the instalation of Open-Arena, an XBOX 360 Controller Driver and an Emulator enhancer Package) . Personnaly i dont beleive if coincidence (Or spellchecker) But perhaps one of these installed somthing to my Mac which warzone needs but currently lacks.

Hope This is usefull in some way.

Yes. I can. Consider it verified. I've run 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and trunk builds, and the textures are all working.

Just got this e-mail from Apple about my bug report:

Engineering believes this issue has been addressed in Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.

Confirmed! Works and looks fine with 10.6!

This may be good news for some, but it makes me rather mad (at apple), I may love my Mac, but they haven't been earning my gratitude lately. I happen to have a dual aluminum G5, which was a rather pricey machine a few years ago when it was the best. However, it is incapable of running Snow leopard because it is PPC, not Intel. I might have been able to scrounge up enough for the OS upgrade had it not required a computer upgrade too. Is there any solution to this problem for people like myself? or am I just SOL...

You have to bug apple to fix the drivers for your version of the OS.

That is the only thing you can do, unless you know of a way to use the newer video drivers with a older version of the OS?

Or older drivers in newer versions, IIRC it worked in 10.5.2 or something and only broke later.
