I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion this month, and ever since then Cubes has crashed or otherwise misbehaved on my machine. However, I have only the one to test on, so I would like your help in figuring out what the extent of the incompatibility is — whether this is a GPU driver bug or something Cubes is doing wrong.

If you have a WebGL-capable browser (such as Chrome or Firefox) and GPU, and especially if you're running Lion or are otherwise similar to my configuration, please run Cubes (no installation is required) and tell me whether it works and what your system configuration is, including these properties:

PropertyI have
Hardware modelMacBookPro5,1
GPU modelNVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
OS versionMac OS X 10.7.2
GPU driver version?
Browser versionChrome 17.0.963.12, Firefox 8.0

(For some MacBook Pro models such as mine, the GPU used (9600M or 9600M GT) depends on the “Graphics” setting in Energy Saver preferences.)

The problems I observe are:

  • All blocks (terrain) being flat white except for lighting; the sky and particle effects still have color. (For the interested, this appears to be a mis-execution of the over-unity-to-white code introduced in commit 48674f….)
  • After some amount of usage, a crash (in Firefox, the browser exits; in Chrome, the display goes gray and the Web Inspector console says “WARNING: WebGL content on the page might have caused the graphics card to reset” while the in-page text says “Previous GL errors: INVALID_OPERATION”).

I will appreciate any help as this is making it quite impractical to work on Cubes.

I do not have this problem: blocks in cubes have color, and minor navigation around the default world doesn't cause any weird behavior that I can see. (It essentially seems to work exactly the same as it did on my macbookpro running 10.6, though I don't see the weird out of place green blocks that I used to see.)

Under chrome, all blocks were white, sky was blue. I could see some shadows on the blocks. After a few mouse movements the window locked solid grey. The browser remains responsive. Screen text:

XYZ: 200.00,62.75,200.00
Previous GL errors: INVALID_OPERATION

Under Firefox, also got white blocks & blue sky. After a few mouse movements, hard browser crash with no warning. Mozilla crash reporter details:

Happy to help further if you want, on twitter @mechamoth.
