Text unreadable on OS X El Capitan (10.11)

[eladts]

Once I updated to OS X El Capitan (10.11) all the text in Red Eclipse 1.5.3 became unreadable. Will this be addressed in the next version? Thanks!

I am downloading the update now, let me get back to you.

Thanks! I think the issue is due to the fact that the system font was changed. I hope you can find a workaround so that Mac users who updated can keep playing Red Eclipse.

This appears to be a video driver issue. Will update when we have more information.

The problem still presists after upgrading to OS X 10.11.1.

Yep, and using the new web driver Nvidia released doesn't seem to help either. There's something seriously wrong with El Capitan, and it might take quite a while to see it get fixed (it may be that we need to wait for SDL 2.0.4 to be officially released).

Tesseract works just fine with El Capitan... Wasn't there a plan a while back to use Tesseract's engine with Red Eclipse?

We are waiting for the official release before we finish the upgrades to the rendering engine. While we won't be getting Tesseract's real-time lighting, etc; we will be getting the newer OpenGL contexts which should work better on newer operating systems (especially when Apple keeps deprecating everything and breaking stuff).

I'm told when SDL releases the final version of SDL 2.1.x, as we're waiting on that to complete the upgrade.

Any update on this?Sometimes it feels awkward when I'm playing and recording.Literally.

The engine upgrades are still in progress and considered highly experimental. The next official update on this issue will coincide with the release of Red Eclipse v1.6.
