Graphical Error... I think? - DJ Jack - 09-24-2015

Hey all, I am trying to run SOMA on my 2009 Mac Desktop. Everything boots up fine, but when I actually get into the game, it looks like a thick fog. (See attachment)

Any suggestions?

Your computer is likely not capable of running the game. What version of Mac OS X and what type of graphics card do you have?

That would really be a bummer, seeing as my copy was a gift, but I am running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5 with a ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB Graphics Card.

Hmm, I tested on a HD 4670 using 10.10.5 so then it should work. There has been times when AMD/ATI released drivers for Mac OS X and you got a control panel for it in the System Settings. Possibly you might have used these over the years and/or you have upgrade the computer from one OS X version to another OS X version and the drivers are not 100% correct at the moment? Not sure what else to think of it
