    Hi all,

    Strange issue. Check out the 2 images below. One is fine but the other shows the strange billboard effect which happens within Unity when I press play - this only happens about 1/3 of the time, the other 2/3 when I press play the trees look fine.

    Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

    Macbook Pro, fresh Mountain Lion Install, 4gb ram, i5 processor.

    Thanks

    I thought I just fixed it by turning off Automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver Prefs. The trees looked fine for about 5 Plays but then it did it again ... the strange billboard images seem to change, notice that the image below has a different billboard image to the initial post.

    It seems to happen mid-game as well. I just pressed play and the billboards looked fine but then suddenly changed to the strange billboards while the game was running.

    Here is another strange one. I pressed play and the billboards looked fine but then suddenly disappeared rather than showing the strange image.

    BTW This project ran fine on my 17 inch Macbook Pro i7 but is playing up on 3 different 15 inch Macbook Pros.
