Hi all,

not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue of checkered floor/tiled ground (see attached image). It occurs in any location that is covered (cave, or level 2 of Rata Sum but not the top level exposed to sky).
I was away from the game since end of September until a week ago, and I only have started to experience the issue with the last Mac client update. My in-game graphics settings are:
Animation – Low
Anti-aliasing – None
Environment – Low
LOD Distance – Medium
Reflections – None
Textures – Low
Render Sampling – Native
Shadows – None
Shaders – Low
Post – processing – None

Best Texture Filtering – unchecked
Depth blur – unchecked
Vertical Sync – unchecked
Resolution 1600 × 900, windowed

I get about 30 FPS, playing on iMac 10.1 (Late 2009 model).
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB, Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60), with 12GB RAM. Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.

We are still investigating the lines that appear in enclosed areas, but they have to do with AMD/ATI graphics cards, and appear in many places under Windows, as well.
