Factorio Forums

I'm having trouble running Factorio on macOS, tried with the steam version and the free demo available to download.
The option menus are without checkboxes and the game is not... showing properly (see screenshots).

I'm certainly doing something wrong, any help would be appreciated.

specs:
macOS Sierra 10.12.3
cpu 3,06 GHz Intel Core i3
ram 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
gpu ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB

Looks like quite similar to the problem here but it's interesting that you have it with AMD GPU

You could try if similar workarounds also work in OSX.

You are running out of VRAM, the minimal amount for factorio is 512MB

You can try to set --max-texture-size=4096 or 2048, if that doesn't help try to set launch options to --gfx-safe-mode

Oh, I see, thanks for the reply
I will stick to playing Factorio on my pc then, thread can be closed

Both of these worked, but was lagging too much to be playable, thanks anyway

In graphics options try to set sprite resolution to low and video memory usage to medium or low.
Desktop is better though

Adjusting spite resolution made the game playable, thanks
But yeah, desktop is better
