Odd graphical glitches - 2013 Mac Pro

[AspenExcel]

Everything was going great in the first hour and a half into the game until I got to a part in the game where the facility collapses and you are submerged underwater. After that I got a lot of graphical glitches, weird textures popping in and out, and it was basically unplayable. The game did not crash but I had to quit since it was basically impossible to move, the game would freeze intermittently. Immediately after quitting the game my system locked up (spinning beachball) and I was forced to hard reboot.

PS I tried to attach the log file directly to this post but it told me the file was too large, so here is a direct link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60341/hpl.log

Here are a few screenshots:

This is probably a driver issue with this particular AMD graphics card, I'll let the porter know and hopefully he can work on a solution.

You could try a temporary manual solution if you would like
Rename the undergrowth folder in the game folder to _undergrowth. This will disable rendering of the terrain vegetation (which it looks like is the problem)

Thanks that worked. One other thing I noticed is that sometimes the ocean atmosphere blinks light and dark really quickly when looking at certain areas.

I would like to report that I have an identical (or at least very similar) issue on a 2015 15" retina macbook pro with the AMD M370X. The temporary solution also works for me, and I am also experiencing the flickering dark atmosphere bug.

Another thing I've found is that all of the water textures are completely flat like this and tend to flicker a lot when looking around.

Echoing that on a 2015 macbook pro with the AMD R9. Really frustrating, as it's a gamebreaking glitch that causes that section to be unplayable... Moving at about 1 frame every 5 seconds.

This is right after another potentially gamebreaking glitch I encountered 15 minutes earlier. Mac version seems to have LOADS of issues.

I had the same issue my mac pro (AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB), renaming folder worked. Thx!

Having the exact issue game was awesome and ran smoothly until room flood, Imac with AMD Radeon R9 M290. Will try the above solution thanks!

Having the exact same graphical issues on an IMac (AMD Radeon R9 M290X) : flat water textures, visual glitches making the game unplayable when we get submerged.
Here's hoping for a quick solution, I was really getting into it :/
