mac texture issue help

[Prancing]

I know that this has been repeatedly talked about before, on Build 41 on my Mac has no textures showing up for players and zomboids. Hats show up fine, but it's just a solid color if I'm wearing a shirt, and everything else disappears if wearing a sweater. I've seen this talked about before, but I haven't seen a simple fix yet. Just wanting to know what I should do about this, explain the answer like i'm dumb, cause I cam when it comes to this. Thanks.

What are your Mac specifications? That issue is usually caused by the Nvidia drivers no longer being supported by Apple, which means older Mac models can no longer run applications such as PZ correctly.

I would like to point out that all recent games work on my machine without any problem and I run E.V.E Online and setting 1 notch below Ultimate (it's only a GTX 680).

Otherwise all my Steam or non-Steam games work without problem.
Ex: E.V.E Online, ATOM RPG Trudograd, Planet Nomads, Airborne Kingdom, Airport CEO, DYSMANTLE, factorio, FAR Lone Sails, Frostpunk, Infra Space, RimWorld, Surviving Mars, The Station, Timberborn, Transport Fever 2, Oxygen Not Included, Wasteland3 , Flat Eye, Kerbal Space Program, Mad Max, Mafia III Definitive Edition...

 

Thanks.

Adding information

[EnigmaGrey]

It's down to nVidia and Apple's support for OpenGL + S3TC texture compression after a series of lawsuites were won against them. Apple ceased producing systems including nVidia GPUs in 2015 and has dropped support in latest versions of MacOS entirely. We're not able to fix it without a significant rewrite (and our attempts to work around it otherwise have failed). Aside from dual-booting Windows or Linux, there's no work around for this system, as the Xeon does not have integrated graphics to fall back on to.

 

Note, this was reflected in the game's minimum specs on the Steam store:

• • OS: OS X 10.15, or later.
  • Processor: Intel x86 (M1/M2 not supported at this time)
  • 64bit OS required
  • Memory: 8Gb Ram
  • Hard Disk Space: 5gig
  • Video Card: AMD or Intel Integrated (nVidia on Mac not compatible)
  • Sound: FMOD compatible sound card
