Hola - Installed Panther today, and SimCity seems to work fine except that the radius circle around the service buildings is not appearing. Anybody have any ideas about that? Thanks, z >> Stay informed about: SimCity and Panther

Strange: I upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3 and now I have entire buildings which never appear unless my mouse cursor is over them. I contacted Aspyr and they told me that it was a known bug in the video drivers and would be corrected in a forthcoming release. >> Stay informed about: SimCity and Panther

Stranger Still: Aspyr told me quite that it was a known bug in the video drivers, and that I was on my own as ATI and/or Apple would have to provide the solution. z >> Stay informed about: SimCity and Panther

I experience the same on a dual 1.25 G4. I got an email today (after filing a bug report 19 days ago) saying that Aspyr is aware of the issue with SimCity4 and 10.3, and that they are working on a patch. FWIW: I only have this issue on the dual 1.25 G4, not on a 1GHz 12" PB G4 (also running 10.3). Henrik -- I prefer my news without spiced ham >> Stay informed about: SimCity and Panther

Interestingly, I read today that one of the major fixes in the forthcoming 10.3.2 upgrade is related to the ATI video drivers. >> Stay informed about: SimCity and Panther

I expect you are right about that, but I was refering to other video problems players have experienced that are not related to RAVE. The so-called "psychedelic colors" in CMBB for instance. Then there is the "black box cursor" in the CMAK demo. Michael >> Stay informed about: SimCity and Panther

This is about stuff that worked fine in 10.2.8 and didn't work in 10.3. >> Stay informed about: SimCity and Panther
