Anyone else having problems with Rust on Mac, since last update? - Rust

Hello, I was starting the game today like I do everyday, but then this: [url]https://flic.kr/p/oqWaX7[/url] Can't seem to fix it restarted everything, i hear the game just running fine in the background but as you can see the screen is f*cked up. Or in some attempts black. Same go's for experimental branch... My Mac: [url]https://flic.kr/p/j3NMvp[/url] I played 1070 hours of Rust without problems so i guess it has to do with the latest update.

I'm happy that you write this, because I have the same problem. Instead of the game menu I get a black screen. Off topic: Do you play with an integrated graphics chip (I have a macbook air) and tried experimental mode? I never see any options in the menu, graphics just stays grey, so I can never go fullscreen to test if that would make the performance better (it's horrible).

About the experimental branch, the option menu doesn't work. You have to use F2 (FN F2) there are some settings, they just fixed that menu and I was about to test it but it seems Rust is broken for now on OSX

[I][/I] thanks for posting this problem on the forums. I play rust on mac and ever since yesterday night I would have a black screen but the menu music would play. It will run normally on windowed screen mode, but windowed doesn't supported my desired resolution(1280x960) where my accuracy is very good. In windowed I can't hit anything.

But he i can open my doors agian so my base won't decay! Edit: When playing window mode, alt+enter makes the screen go black to..

How do I tell the game to go windowed mode? Is there a way as in some mac apps to press CRTL while starting the game to show a menu? But then I had to start the game from the finder, not steam? Alt + Enter doesn't work in the black screen. Do the developers read this here? Or do we have to file a bug report somewhere? Should be done ASAP.

You can choose window mode there. I advice you to uncheck the 'only start option menu when the option key is down' option. It's an alpha game so you need the option menu now and then. Edit: not 100% sure it's the 'alt-key' could also be 'cmd' or 'ctrl' just try. You can quit rust fullscreen with cmd-q so no problem to try couple time. If that doesn't work push the dashboard-key it will get you out of Rust so you can right click it and quit.

I use a mac and have had no issues on legacy rust, I haven't tried experimental in the last couple of weeks etc.

[QUOTE=Bastwiest;45687958]And you have runned Rust fullscreen since yesterday!?[/QUOTE] Maybe only the integrated graphics in the Macbook / Macbook Air / Mac Mini are affected? What is your GPU? Mine is an Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

[QUOTE=Bastwiest;45680247] My Mac: [url]https://flic.kr/p/j3NMvp[/url][/QUOTE]

Ok, thats not integrated graphics, so that's not the cause of the problem.

It's really starting to get anoying now. I'd really like to play fullscreen agian..

I really hope it's going to be fixed!! Playing Rust in a envelope sized window sucks!

Yea its broken, I get a black screen as well on launch

As someone else said in a nother thread you can play fullscreen but you have to select the highest possible resolution. I tested it a bit, selecting the resolution that comes next all ready gives you a black screen. To bad for me because playing on the highest resolution on my old Mac issen't an option. But I hope other people can go fullscreen agian.

Yes this is still broken. This is pretty bad for some mac players. I can't play at lower resolutions. We would be happy if this could be fixed. I know the focus is on the new version of rust though. Does anyone at Facepunch know why this broke?

What's up with the freaking dumb voting? You some kind of apple hater?

Sadly this is broken on the Experimental version too. So you can only play Rust now - both versions - on the highest resolution setting. Trying to start at a lower resolution leads to a black screen and a freeze (had to restart my mac). It would help a lot of us mac users to be able to play at lower screen resolutions.

The Experimental Branch is completely broken fore now, black screen even in window mode. Legacy still the same, can only play in window mode. I'm sure there gonna fix the experimental branch but I do hope at some point there gonna fix legacy to...

Yeah, for the past day I have only been seeing a black screen on Mac OSX. I posted a thread about it in the Rust Experimental forum: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1421075[/url] Someone suggested either running a Windows emulator (parallels) or a Windows partition (bootcamp) and running it under Windows. I will try that tonight when I get home...

I've got an 2009 iMac, running parallels and Windows Rust issen't an option for me I can barely run Rust without anything else opened. And I'm not going to install bootcamp voor Rust. I'll just sit it out until it gets fixed.

Just FYI. I can play legacy fine on my macbook, but only at the highest resolution. I am playing full screen. I do agree they need to fix this for Mac users so we can choose resolutions on both versions. Anyway, legacy works ok for me, but only at the highest resolution settings. If you get the black screen, try to change to highest resolution and launch. I will have to see if I can get in to experimental this way now. I could last week.

dude r u running it in full screen? that might be the problem and also try starting it up in the largest window like the 1980x1080 [editline]31st August 2014[/editline] and dont play in fullscreen, i play on a mac and i run it fine on windowed

If you guys hate 1980x1080 try playing that resolution with a better field of veiw.. Helped my accuracy. Go into console and type: render.fov 80

Thanks for the tip, gonna try some FOV variations.

Rust starts fine for me, both version (incl. experimental), as long as I choose the highest resolution setting (can be low quality, but highest screen resolution). I am on a new macbook with intel IRIS graphics. I am in fullcreen. So for me that doesn't matter. FYI. I don't think I can play experimental much until they fix this. I need to run it at a lower resolution so my macbook doesn't heat up too much.

Still no fix, really like to play experimental again. Man they've put in so much I really like to test it. But no matter what resolution or mode I still get a black screen....

Nothing yet! Sorry for the bump but I need a fix!
