Summary0005236: [AVWW] Mac Os X UI Annoyance
DescriptionHello. I had 3 UI problems with OS X:


- Inability to command-tab out while the game is running.

- Quicksilver triggers disabled (strangely enough, most OS shortcuts such as screenshots still work).

- Random garbled screen at launch (displays what seems to be random stuff in videocard memory). Example: http://i.imgur.com/qZAbM.png

Yep, the command-tab thing is a bug in the Unity 3D engine and it bugs the heck out of a lot of people on a lot of games. Enough so that I'm hopeful that their version 3.5 will include a fix for that. Fingers crossed!

I don't know what Quicksilver is, honestly, but this is again something that the Unity 3D engine has control over rather than us. We don't have a way to influence what they do with that sort of thing, but if Quicksilver is popular hopefully they'll come around to making it work better with their engine.

And, sadly, same deal with the random garbled stuff on launch. It's something to do with how they're launching OpenGL, which... you guessed it... is completely black box to our code.

Wish I had better news, but on the other hand I think Unity 3.5 is supposed to be out in December or January. Assuming they don't introduce any new and worse bugs into it, we'd be moving to that and hopefully some of that gets fixed. The command-tab thing in particular seems extremely likely, because it was a regression that was newer in just some of their most recent versions.

I find the loading thing charming. Sorta like how scrambled the world is, the intro screen is equally scrambled ;)
