To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi Guys, I am a total Pioneer n00b, but not a flightsim n00b...
I recently downloaded Alpha 28 to run on my iMac 2.66 C2D, 2Gb RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 Mb. The program starts ok, but the screen is frozen - ie the ship does not rotate and you have to click off the window and back on to see the refresh. Similarly, if you click on a menu option you have to click off/back on to see the result... The sim itself actually runs - the music plays , the thrusters roar etc etc - just that the viewport is always frozen. I have tried upping/ lowering the video options and even resorted to RTFM - but there isn't a FM yet lol
Sorry if this has been asked before but a search of the Forum has not been fruitful.
Don't worry we're not ignoring your post, unfortunately we only have one guy who has a Mac to test the game on!
Could you find the logs that the game writes out and upload them to here so we can take a look? They should be called "opengl.txt", "stderr.txt" and "stdout.txt", from looking at the OSX source code I think they should be in "Library/Application Support/Pioneer".
The other thing to try, although if the screen is not updating I understand this might be difficult, is going into the settings screen and turning off the shader support. The fallback non-shader game still works and is usually guaranteed to work.

Thanks for the reply Andy - I did try disabling shader support but no change. I shall upload the logs tomorrow when I am back at the iMac...
Hello - Welcome to pioneer!!
I'm the mac guy <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> - yep, we need more Mac testers <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
Your configuration files should be located in ~/Library/Application Support/Pioneer (open Finder, and with the Option key held down select Go|Library from the menu).
The file you want to edit is config.ini and the line to edit is DisableShaders=0
(make sure it is set to 0)
There is also a file in that directory called opengl.txt - if you could upload that so we can have a look at it and work out what is going wrong.
Alternatively (and preferred) if you can log your problem onto the issue register ( https://github.com/p.../pioneer/issues ) it will also gain the attention of other developers (as I don't keep an eye on these forums as much as I used to).
Cheers,
Phil.
OK thanks guys - I have raised an issue in the register!
Told you I was a n00b.
I switched on VSync
VSync = 1
D'oh!
That fixed it? Bizarre, might be an idea if we ship with it enabled by default!
