    This is cool ! The game runs smooth on recommended settings and everything seems fine for me.
    I run it on a Mac Book Pro 2014 :

    2,5 GHz Intel Core i5

    4 Go 1600 MHz DDR3

    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 Mo


    Just a couple of things : I don't have any grass displaying on either the Grassy Plateau, the Kalp Forest or the Mushroom Trees, is this due to my low RAM ? Is there any ways to lower the graphics to allow grass display ?

    Also, It seems that I can't open the console with F3 on this OSX release. Is there another key to press for that ?

    Thank you !

    Hardware: iMac 27", Core i5 3,4GHz 16 Gb Ram GTX 775M 2GB, No SSD Fazit pro: 1. Game load much much faster than on Win8.1 2. Gameplay same as Win 8.1 3. Grafik is better than on Win 8.1 (it seems so) Fazit Contra: 1. The van of iMac runs on limit (Window modus) and the Mac will be hotter on the top

    @Obraxis, I played today over two hours in Freedom Mode with my iMac (you see down below). - Gameplay like Win - Grafik is better than on Win (it seems so) - Sound is good, no problems - I did all first Steps., search, built, swim, construct, use Fabricator, all Top, like Win - Solar Panel works, is new? - Constructor is OK! Seamoth work fine, steering is very good - Until now, some little bugs, I reported to you ... - I will test Cyclops, hope ist better stabile than on Win.   ---  Fazit: I will played likely more on Mac than on Win.    Sorry for my bad english, i am german. More from testing tomorrow and so on ... good night ':-))

    There is a problem with the input modification, it doesn't work with the mouse...like when i use the mouse to make it work as a command it doesn't work.

    I have a trackpad.

    Other than that...IT'S AMAZING! The graphic is even smoother than the actual game! even if the details are a little off, like inside the escape pod.

    Please keep developing this :)

    @Obraxis,     -----   tested Mac, Version 19440 Jun 15. I go on with 2 hours more Testing, ---- Some graphic bugs, Fisches disappears in stones, some cubes without icons(when I release items in the water), Repulsion Cannon 1A!!!, Gameplay is very good, like Windows, Blueprints are ok, some ? in the Journal.  ********** BUT, the objects on the ground, for example, I swim free, the objects Spawn too late in my view direction. it is possible, that the ground will be shown ready in my Area?
    Good night together ...

    Hey @Dchicote and @AlphaBlueArx, thanks for that info! If you can take some screenshots of any issues you see, (especially graphical ones) that would be VERY helpful :)

    Can you please post a screenshot of these issues? It's hard for us to fix something we cant see! :)

    And the Seamoth bug is not a Mac one, and is known and being worked on. Thanks!

    Well at one of the resoultions, the buttons where kind of off the charts, like if i wanted to select something from the fabricator i'd have to click at some distance from it.

    And at any resolution and graphic level, the details around the pod and around the biomes are very pixellated, and sometimes by impacting into surface i partially pass trough them.

    Also i'd want to report some potential bugs i found.

    The crashes are immune to the stasis field, the Pod charges up on it's own when nobody is using it and the propulsion cannon doesn't work correctly.
