Weird GUI glitches/tearing

Post by kyleyann »

-Tried playing on OSX but, the very low setting was too low for me to deal with and the low setting was too much for my mac
-Launched Factorio on Windows 10 via boot camp, runs fine on normal until the GUI starts freaking out. Check the video for a video of what's happening. Recording actually worsened the effects. Also if I sit on the inventory screen eventually it goes away until I move again. I at first thought this was a driver issue however, I tried drivers that were years apart and the issue persisted, then again Im not an expert so that's why Im on here. Btw it's a MacBook Pro 2010 13' with 8GB ram and the GPU is nvidia 320m I believe. Thank you.

EDIT: The stuff that is placed in world does not get affected by this glitching/tearing issue when I am not recording. Just the GUI and stuff in it.

Also factorio has a native OSX version. I'd try that rather than use bootcamp.

It sounds like he tried that.


It looks like you've simply gone beyond why your mac can handle (is it an older one)? Is there a settings somewhere along the lines of "video memory usage"? What happens if you set that to something like low?
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
