Mac OSX Specific Issues / Odd Graphical Issues
« on: February 18, 2011, 12:11:49 am »
Hi all-
I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I was recently walking around in game, and encountered an issue that I was unable to diagnose. When walking through the halls of a dark, indoor area, such as the Arena hallways (the lower parts just inside the front door), the entire area is covered in a dense, black color, and I'm completely unable to see anything, whether it be floor, or NPC monster. I've attempted to disable, or enable shadows under Options-Graphics-Shadows, but have seen no major improvements there. I've also tried to run adaptive distance, or set a fixed minimum distance and min/max FPS rate, also without any noticeable improvements.
Similarly, inside of guildhouses (and I've only tested this inside the Red Crystal Den), I have a graphical issue nearly identical to this first problem. The walls and floor of the structure are entirely black, and I'm unable to pick out any details of most objects placed on the ground, even finding chairs and furniture is difficult. Also, directly in front of my avatar as he enters, there's a object that appears to be a floating door of sorts directly in the middle of the first area in the building. Around this object is a type of distortion that begins to skew with the screen view. Old chat tabs will be caught inside of this area, as will old loaded textures and areas, making it necessary for me to move around this first area, I'm completely unable to stand on, near, or around this area without experiencing major graphical distortion and a major FPS lag.
I'm currently running on OS X 10.6.5 on a 2.13 GHz MacBook, if that affects it at all. I've got the standard NVIDIA GeForce 9400M chipset model, if it makes a difference to this. Also, my average ping rate to the server hovers around the 150 range, if that would have some relevance to the issue. However, I don't think it's a problem with my running specs(though I could be mistaken) , rather, it seems to be something I've quite likely overlooked in my options in my in-game toolbar.
If there's anyone who's got some perspective on this for me, I'd really appreciate some sort of feedback or advice on this, thanks
