Graphics Issues on a Mac

[Brooklyn666]

The ocean is white. It happens at all zoom levels. I've tried various combinations of different graphics settings to no avail. Any ideas what might be causing it or how to fix it?

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/CK3/logs/ folder, attach system.log , error.log

Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.

Operating System Version:
MacOS 10.13.6 (64 bit)

While I'm not 100% sure this is the issue the game is only supported on 10.14 or better - any chance of trying an update?

Either way it's probably worthwhile doing a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.


**File Locations on Mac OS X**
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings III/
To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .
The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/ .

Yea I figured that *could* be the culprit, but I wanted to see if there was anything more obvious first. I've been meaning to update forever; I just have one stupid app I need for work that needs 32 bit support and I haven't found a decent alternative that will work in 64 bit only.

one of the infurating things about osx is that the graphical drivers are inexplicably linked to the osx version so you can't get updated video drivers unless you update the OS itself which is kinda dumb

I guess if you can't upgrade OSX, an alternate solution would be BootCamp.

Or if you're really really really brave, Parallels.
