Editor Font is strange on latest 5.3

My main machine is in the shop for repairs, so installing this on my 10.9.5 iMac.

Something is seriously wrong.

Tried installing on my 10.9.5 laptop and everything was fine. - capital letters are sometimes missing in editor font.

I'm guessing this is a graphics card issue?
This iMac runs an ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
The laptop runs an NVIDIA GeForce. (macbook)

5.2 runs fine.

This problem affects the entire Unity interface.

 

This is RC1? Can you try with --force-opengl to see if going back to the legacy works?

 

Hi, I'd love to, I don't know what this means though. Can you explain a little?

Also, looks like I spoke too soon, the captial letters are missing from the Unity editor system font on my macbook.

 

Happened to me also on Beta 6 using MacOSX El Capitan
Its not constant but happens.

 

A fairly big effort to address the opengl core changes was done in RC1 (f1). If still present, please let us know, particularly if you do the command line start of --force-opengl improves things.

 

Are you on the latest release just released today? (the RC1 question). The second part is starting Unity with a command line option to use the legacy OpenGL system to see if the problem is with the updated one.

 

The version I grabbed was today but not sure how to check if it's "RC1" (where would one find this?) It's 5.3.0f1
Tried to run unity with command line in terminal, using "--force-opengl" but get "
open: unrecognized option `--force-opengl'"

any advice welcomed.

 

@Alex Lian Ah. I think I have this figured out, for the uninitiated (like me) you'll need to do the following:

Open terminal. Right click on Unity5.3 and show package contents, navigate to MacOS > Unity, drag that file in to terminal, then type --force-opengl after and hit enter.

(not "open /path/ --force-opengl")

 

For me it is definitely still an issue in RC1. I've opened case 744741. Everything is unusable and doesn't render correctly when using it like normal. Launching it with --force-opengl it then renders fine again, but launching even an empty project without the legacy flags has major rendering issues and is not usable.

 

I got a chance to try with --force-opengl.

Sadly it causes a lot of artifacts (flashing sprites, things disappear, render to texture is broken) in the Game view at runtime.
