Need I upload the diagnosticlog here for analysis?

[VisualEhrmanntraut]

Sure! Crash logs would be nice as well :)

Thanks for your works!

@laris It looks like you're on an old version of NootedRed.

I checked opencore config, it should be ci1055 20231112 dfd2ffa commit. let me try 20231117-957505c-ci1057

[laris]

update to latest and now will test again.

@laris It looks like you're on an old version of NootedRed.

Could you share how to double confirm the driver version? I confirm according opencore config ref https://github.com/ChefKissInc/NootedRed/issues/200#issuecomment-1818104578

I can provide more detail or log if you need.

upload video, after open the alacritty, the dock status.

[VisualEhrmanntraut]

Same problem as Sublime Text. The only thing you can do is wait for a fix and/or disable HW acceleration for the app temporarily

@laris this is related to this setting

`pub enum ShaderVersion { /// OpenGL 3.3 core shaders. Glsl3,

/// OpenGL ES 2.0 shaders.
Gles2,

}`

alacry and other gl apps try to use OpenGL 3.3 core shaders and crash

in alacry you can boot with this flag to force use gl 2 shader .../Alacritty.app/Contents/MacOS/alacritty -o debug.renderer=gles2_pure -v

[laris]

thank you. But it looks like cannot get shell with black window.

./alacritty -o debug.renderer=gles2_pure -v

[VisualEhrmanntraut]

that's a macOS OpenGL driver bug with the texture display. even mesa has the same issue on OpenGL 2 renderer
