Flickering Textures Mac.

[botukon 0]

This is a minor bug. Sometimes i get some missing/flickering textures. I'm running the mac version of this game. I think it happens during the day. I don't see it during night (yet). Sorry is this is already reported elsewhere. I couldn't find the issue while searching.

try redownloading maybe an error happened while doing so

That didn't fix it. I still get texture problems. I should be more specific that it seems to effect mostly the ground. So far only when outside buildings.

Is it happening on both versions of the game application?

Both versions? Do you mean 18.2 or 18.3? I use a Mac. The only native mac version I have played is 18.3. In the past I had to use wineskin to play this game. That version was 17.1. I did not have this issue before downing the Mac version, but it ran slow.

hi!

so, first, what the fuck. 

what mac do you have?

[botukon 0]

Its a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro. I have an update as well. The texture glitch is occurring in the first gym.

[andracass 1179]

..............huh.

your computer is definitely not so old that it can't run 18.3... but it is definitely acting like it is.

my guess for this is that you're missing some opengl drivers? but i'm not exactly the most knowledgeable about mac hardware, though.

maybe see if those can be updated somehow?

[botukon 0]

From what I can find, Mac OS X doesn't allow updating of opengl. It is tied to the version of OS X I am running. I'd have to upgrade the OS itself to update the drivers. I'm not certain if the drivers are the issue since I am running the version required (Sierra). Then again I know even less about Mac hardware than you.

i don't actually own a mac

 

but anyway.

if you open up the reborn app itself and get to this folder: Pokemon Reborn.app\Contents\Resources

there should be a file called MKXP.json

try replacing it with the one i've attached and see if it works

mkxp.json

I tried it and the glitch happened as soon as I started moving. It's horrible in the gym. The attached image started happening before I replaced the file you sent.

[andracass 1179]

please try replacing the file.

[botukon 0]

I did when you sent it to me.

[andracass 1179]

then i'm not sure that there's a fix for this

[botukon 0]

Am I the only one to report this so far? Hopefully it can be fixed in future updates. It's my understanding that the Mac native version of the game is recent.

i only finished it and put it out a few weeks ago. this is the first time i've heard of this bug.

I use the Linux version, and it does it occasionally. Not as drastically though.

I'll try upgrading my OS to High Sierra and that should also update my opengl. In some areas it kind of looks like textures are getting mixed.

Hi, I've got the same bug (macbook pro mid-2012, OXS 10.14.6 Mojave, basically, same model but different OS version). I originally posted my description of the problem here:

before I noticed I was dumb and that issue was already reported (for some reason, I only looked in the subforums when checking whether that was a known bug, as I said, I'm dumb)

I tried explicitly disabling (or enabling just in case, although I assume this does nothing) openGL4 (via the mkxp.json config) as suggested by andracass but it didn't seem to have any effect either.

 

[edit: here's an additional video of the bug in case it helps (I went to the apophyll grotto as it seems to always happen there, but you can also admire the glitched rain in obsidia ward).

[edit2: uh... for some reason the framerate is super low, I don't know why, the video capture usually plays fine (and it did play smoothly *before* I saved it, but now it's... bad? go figure)]

@botukon @Olxinos Does this still happen in the 18.4.3 build?
Edit: Oh, OSX might not have 18.4.3 yet.

(non-catalina has it)

I've been having these graphical bugs since the start of the game, especially from weather effects, but they haven't been too bad. Apophyll Beach, however, has been a mess for me with constant graphics issues inside and outside as described above where essentially you have to feel around to get where you need to go. Even this has still been playable at the end of the day. After I beat the gym leader and am tasked to go to Azurine Island, I cannot reach the boat as my game crashes every time I try to make my way over to it. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure this is my own computer's fault as when this happens, the game doesn't just crash, but my entire computer resets itself.
