Possible Tiger issues.

[Cap'n Hector]

Is anyone else testing this on Tiger? I'm getting extreme graphics glitches…white and red objects flickering all over the screen. Sometimes they block the land/water, and they can make it so I can't see anything.

Water looks like fire…very attractive, but not what's intended.

I'm trying to get a screenshot (P, right?) but so far I haven't been successful.

I'll test on Panther later today to isolate away from hardware.

Screenshots should be fixed in beta3, so it would be great if you could post a screenshot to see what it looks like under Tiger.

Thanks

John

err... I haven't tried this yet, but doesn't the usual Apple-Shift-3 work for screen-shots? I've never been un-able to take a shot before with that... (I should try that when I'm back home...)

[Cap'n Hector]

Apple-Shift-3 fails…I tried it first.

So far I've only gotten a Fatal Signal (10) error on launch…I've downloaded Beta 3, but it still shows as Beta 1.

[Miah]

Yes, the beta1 thing was mentioned. In truth, this IS still beta 1... at least, Beta *stage* one. There will only be 2.

My two questions are this:
1: Where did you get Tiger?
2: How do you override Apple-Shift-3? Even Uplink had it still.

[Cap'n Hector]

Apple-Shift-3 printed a grey screen, so it worked but didn't show anything from Darwinia.

It can be over-ridden in Panther and Tiger using the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts, but this isn't what I did.

And I still need to check that Darwinia works on my HW under 10.3…I've been busy, but I should be able to today.

I got Tiger via Apple's Developer program.

[John]

Did you try with beta3?

[Cap'n Hector]

Under both 10.3 and 10.4 with Beta 3 I get error 10 every time I start up. Want me to attach Blackbox.txt?

[John]

Yes please
