Ive been using a mod to fix this problem ever since before rajas of india it only affects me on my mac on my pc it wasn't a problem but now my pc is gone. is there any fix too this issue or will i have to continue to use the mod for the rest of my life? thanks in advance

There's a current bug with the eyes in some portraits in 2.2, not confined to Macs. I'm not aware of any specific issues on Macs like that, to be honest.

Please try a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local content" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete all files and folders left under Steam/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.

File Locations on Mac OS X
The executable is in /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/crusader kings ii/ck2.app

On OS X 10.8.x Apple have hidden the /Users/USER/Library/ folder. To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .

The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/ .

none of that worked is their any other options?

In Steam-help-system info, paste everything in here except for the long "installed software" list at the end please.

Please post your Documents/CK2/settings.txt. From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ directory, post system.log . Open setup.log in notepad and search for 'checksum', post that line only here too please.

And can we see a screenshot of the problem please?

For the last one i checked the setup.log and there is absolutely nothing there.
finally i can't get screen shots because my screen overlay crashes CK2 on start up sorry.
my checksum from in game is 2.2(URWO)

Ah, you have the dreaded Intel 3000 chipset. As you can see it has

Primary VRAM: 451 MB

whereas the game's minimum requirement is 1gb of VRAM. It's possible 10.9.5 will have better drivers and help, but aside from that you'll have to continue to resort to mods while you have that hardware, sorry.

 

[cooljay59]

But i don't understand it worked just previous to ROI then the portraits messed up was it an update to the portraits that increased the hardware needs ?

 

[AndrewT]

ROI increased the demands on hardware significantly, because if the map expansion. This has had effects on PCs also, 32bit Windows barely works any more. Basically for Mac sand Linux it means you could get away with under-spec hardware before ROI, not so much any more.

I'm sorry, it doesn't feel good I know!
