Mac graphical problems and solutions

Possible graphic problems on Macintosh and solutions to those

There are a few possible problems with graphics you may encounter on Macintosh, here are a few solutions.

Graphic errors / problems

Color depth not correct When the following error is displayed: "This game requires the color depth to be set to at least 32 bits (millions of colors) in your display settings." the player must change his color depth to 32 bits before starting Eve again.

Here is how you do so:

1. To set color depth to Millions.
2. Choose Applications > System Preferences, and then click Displays.

The display dialog will display.

1. Choose Millions from the Colors drop box.

The display dialog will close.

1. The display will be set to Millions of of colors

Graphics hardware not supported

When I launch the game I get the following error "This game may not run on this machine due to not meeting the minimum system requirements", what does this mean?

This means you do not have the necessary hardware requirements to run Eve, you can see the list of minimum requirements here

Stuttery/slow graphics Stuttery or slow graphics can indicate a lack of system resources. It's also possible this could be caused by your graphics hardware not being supported or insufficient system resources. Most likely CPU or RAM. Low quality graphics are unlikely to be the result of low hard drive space but check if you are low on space, just to be sure..Also check if reducing the system resources required, or increase the system resources available helps.

Here's how you do so:

• Free up RAM and CPU by closing other applications.
• Add RAM to the system.
• Turn of non-essential system processes

I can't rotate my monitor after starting Cider/Eve|Eve, it causes an error

Cider does not support this in all cases, you'll need to set everything up before starting Cider/Eve or an error will appear. It is not even certain that it will work even after the monitor has been rotated.
