Not All Islands Loading Properly

[elizastorm]

Hi~

Wondering if anyone has had the issue of islands being angular and primary colors (like maybe other graphic layers aren't loading). I have a mac and one night my game tried to update it self and crashed. When I went back online this was happening.

Any suggestions? Should I uninstall the game and reinstall it? Would that ruin any of my game so far?

Thanks in advance!

I have a mac also and am having the same problem.

Do the islands look like this?

Yeah Coollittlej had the same problem on his mac book. Check out his thread:

Wow, what island is that, Tortuga?

I've never had that problem.

I have had that problem and not being able to see anything on my map, very aggrivating.

But I figured out that I needed a graphics card, turned out that it burned out...literally

Yes, that is exactly what happened.

I went to live chat and they tried to tell me it was a graphic card issue but my computer is basically new and the best mac that we could buy.

So I fixed it the old fashioned way - uninstalled then reinstalled the program.

It works now! Woot woot!

I'm having the same issue! sometimes it looks normal color wise but ill have random walls in my way to where i cant see whats in front of my. it has even happened when me and my friend boarded a flag ship. i was having a hard time seeing those navy swine. But it started acting up for me when i ran a graphics update that apple sent out a couple days ago. so has anyone else have any problems after the graphics update from apple?

It's a graphics issue. (not like anyone needed me to point out the obvious)

The only time I've ever had this happen, was years ago when I was beta testing Everquest. It was because we had a lame 4MB S3 Virge video card that couldn't handle the graphics load. How did I fix it? Put a 16MB Riva TNT in the machine. No more issues with graphics.

The point of the stroll down my memory lane being that it's a video card issue. You might have a faulty card, or you may just need a driver update (or however the Mac folk do it).

In the meantime, try lowering the graphics details in the game. See if it clears up the snow.

Good luck!
