Please note though, that your case seems to be different!
as you had textures when you logged on. What model is
your ibook exactly, what graphics card does it have?

well I am not an expert, but from the fact that your Graphics Card is the same,
your ibook model at least very similar to my old, the screenshot looks the same
AND you also see this during character selection, I fear it may be the same problem.

Sadly for me, this was quite a bugger, since, as it says in the corresponding entry
in bug tracker, the problem got worse since 4.0.1. That means with the current
version of Planeshift, there were never textures for me. So if you get them at least
some times you could rejoice a little.

Sorry, not sure what kind of advice I could give you except to try everything that
was proposed by the others and stay strong and patient. Eventually, for me it worked best
to just accept I couldn't run Planeshift at the moment, but maybe in your case that
is not yet necessary, who knows.

Hello

Just to be sure... it is certainly not the texture downsampling? It looks from this screenshot rather similar for me.

I was also thinking texture downsampling, maybe advised to do it because of the Mac OSX crash bug that required it. In addition, no, an older version of PS will not work with the current server.

nope i dont think that is texture downsamping it looks like an issue with opengl rendering.
