[0.17.58] Small MacOS issues

[ssilk]

1. You managed on Mac, that I cannot open the screenshot tool (normally Command-Shift-5). It opens somewhere, but not on Factorio Screen. For me it is because Factorio opens two virtual screens: One, which is completly black and the second with the game. Here the useless blackscreen is the rightmost:

2. Factorio - even paused - seems to take a lot of resources. Or does something with the multitasking: As long as it runs, the rest feels super-laggy. For example: Scrolling in the forum looks like jumping with the page-key. Click on a new thread takes about 10 seconds to load (normaly under 1). And so on.


I don't await that this is fix soon, I can live with it, but for me that are definitly bugs you should know and care about.

Duplicate of viewtopic.php?f=48&t=46912&p=269693 I think?

I also seem to remember that the underlying problem is with the Window library we're using (SDL) and that they need to fix the issue on their end.

[ssilk]

Yeah, seems to be the same bug.

Issue #2 seems to be new: new bug ticket?

[Rseding91]

We haven't changed anything around that since forever so If anything it would just get moved into pending where it would die

[ssilk]

Wube definitely would profit from a programmer who uses a Mac instead PC, I think this would be fixed in days...

I saw the second black window happen once, but later when I wanted to look into it, I couldn't reproduce it anymore. Neither have I had issues with other applications being slow while Factorio is running. Programmer who is macOS user would be helpful, yes.

[ssilk]

I can reproduce it every time on two macbooks.
