Nope, didn't help.

Have someone tried to disable menu simulation?

So far it seems these are all ATI based Macs, guess we can start from that. We did test on both NV and ATI Macs before release, but apparently there are some specific cards that are different than those we tested. We will try to reproduce this here, but in the mean time please try the following things maybe some of them helps as a workaround:

- disable Steam overlay for SS3 (in the Steam library, right click/cmd-click on game, choose Properties, on General page, there is a checkbox named "Enable Steam Community in game". Disable that.
- while the game is still showing "Loading..." on the black screen press Alt+Enter to switch to window mode.
- go to the Options>Performance menu and set GPU speed to Lowest .

Please let me know if any of those make a difference.

Hey alenl, just wanted to let you know, it's not all ATI cards. I have an ATI Radeon 6750M 1024MB in my Macbook Pro 2011 and I haven't had any problems yet. I have been having fun gameplay on this game! Thanks for your effort to port it, but I'm sorry to hear all of the problems occurring.

Hmmm Lucky you Jman.

I too am using a 2011 MBP with an AMD Radeon HD 6750M. Nothing but black screen.... Well aside from menus.

The clock didn't work.

Do they still want logs?

I have the same problem. I hope you could resolve this issue early. I have paid to play the game ...

Give them a chance Im sure they're just as keen to have it fixed. Im getting an update for it now so we'll see in a moment.

.... and same issue. Black everything but menus and cross hairs.

Same problem on my iMac, black screen but sound and crosshairs. Blue clock in top right corner did not work for me.

Go Croteam! I want to play this game...

Once again, another update and issue still persists. Gah.

I just wanna kill stuff!!! And lots of stuff.

Moisty and Jman, can you guys please post you detailed system specs? Something has to be different there that causes this. Thanks!

In my case, quad-core 2.8GHz Xeon, 1GB Radeon 5870, OS X 10.6.8. Do you need any more details? For me, the updates have stopped the crashing, and it detects VRAM size properly now, but the graphics have never changed since the initial release: mostly just black, aside from the menus. (Including the update that downloaded just now.) On the title screen, there's a sort of silhouette effect with what looks like a black landscape and a dark gray sky, but that's the most I can see.
