Artifacting making the game unplayable - tron22 - 09-23-2015

After speaking to the lady on the screen the dome floods and there is a cutscene.

When the character wakes up the game starts bugging out like crazy. Tried loading up saves
before this happened but didn't work. The artifacting makes the game unplayable,
as every step I take, it obstructs the screen somehow.
The whole game ran just fine up to this point.

Possible important thing to note is, I'm playing on a Mac Pro.

Any ideas what it could be?

We know that it has to do with the FirePro graphics card, but do not have a proper fix for it yet. You can do a temp half-fix https://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-30680-post-325416.html#pid325416

Thanks for the help. Will it drastically change the way the game looks?
What would you do, wait for the fix?

I think I would wait, it removes much of the vegetation in the outside levels doing the "temp fix". At the moment I have no estimate to give on how long to find the proper solution.
