Mac client very dark/shadowy and blurry in certain conditions.

Hey

After the most recent update through the steam client there are some conditions in which the Mac client is very dark/shadowy and blurry. To the point where you can't actually see whats going on. The UI, menu's, etc. all still display correctly. Also this only seems to be in certain conditions (Game start/charcter select screen, Lioneyes watch and in Act 2 Shadow of the Vaal).

I am running an iMac 27 inch Late 2012:
3,2Ghz Intel Core i5
32GB RAM
SSD 512 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1GB

OSX 10.14.6

bug report 3661591000 or 1687322150

I have the same problem on Windows on my Toaster.

AMD fx6300
AMD Radeon R207X
8GB RAM

Bug Referrence Number: 3 948 787 361

I switched from vulkan to directX11 now and it seems like that solved the problem for me.

I am also in the same situation.

MacBook Pro Mid 2005
Intel i7 2.8GHz
16GB Ram
Intel Iris Pro & AMD Radeon R9 M470X

I also have this darkness/blurriness problem in dark maps especially. The game also does not load floor and character textures ever in any map. Plays OK on the PC side, but the quality has declined significantly since the patch.

How did you do this? I don't seem to have this option on the Mac side.

Same problem here, it was all working perfectly last Tuesday (26th Jan) but then I tried to play on Friday evening (29th) and it was impossible due to these problems

- Blurred and dark graphics like looking through a lens smeared with oil
- Keyboard no longer accepting key presses
- The popup windows still worked ok via a mouse click on the options button (character screen, inventory etc.) but the main playing area was unusable
- FPS were down form 60 to 30 or less

I am also running an iMac 27 inch Late 2012:

I am also experiencing this same issues of a blurry screen. it starts out initially okay then goes blurry, unplayable.

Hey andymacofficial
Direct X is Microsoft Windows only unfortunately.

The latest hotfix / patch has still not fixed this issue unfortunately.
