Yep, they are in retail also, I can't confirm the audio bug in retail as the soundscape is no where as dense as any of the mod campaigns.

Death of the Belisarius.

Edit: Both GFX bugs are in 3.6.12 stable.

How is that still happening?  That was or should have been fixed in Antipodes testing before go_faster got put into trunk.

It's in the new/delete global overrides, so it doesn't necessarily mean that it's an issue in the code base since those overrides will get called by all linked libs too.  A backtrace would probably show that those lines are from an external lib.

Did some more digging and it appears it might be isolated/related to media VP 3.6.12. Switching the media VPs off resolves the GFX bugs at a massive cost of prettiness. This also has to be isolated to Mac, otherwise the forums would have been aflame with this by now back in August with the last update.

[chief1983]

Yup, I am pretty sure it's isolated to OS X.  Are you running 10.6.4?

[oohhboy]

I can do you one better, I have isolated it down to the GLSL system. Turning off GLSL removes the issue. The -disable glsl mc flag has no effect.

I am running 10.6.4 64bit and no I can't run the 32bit kernel.

[Admiral LSD]

Err... Not that it's relevent to the issue, but how can you not run the 32-bit kernel? 32-bit kernel boots by default on all machines bar the Xserves by default. You have to manually specify the 64-bit kernel at boot up (Command+Shift+6+4 as you power on I believe), but that only works on 64-bit EFI machines. I believe there are hacks to force the 64-bit kernel, but nothing that should prevent you from booting 32-bit...

[chief1983]

I think any Mac that came with 10.6 _can_ boot to the 64bit kernel with the keyboard shortcut.  And I think it can be set in the EFI to always boot 64bit.  But yeah I've never heard of having to run it.

[oohhboy]

Oh I thought you guys knew. I am running a Hackintosh. There are a couple of minor quirks I had to sort out like networking, otherwise it is for all intents and purposes it is a real machine. That only thing it can't do is output a kernel panic log, that and 32bit kernel. I tried to boot to 32bit, but it panics on start up, and since I had no issue with the 64bit kernel, so I took the easy way out. I kid you not, I seen the same bugs across multiple machines when I did checks to make sure it wasn't a "My machine only" issue.

The GFX drivers are the Apple's and the only thing I needed to do was to tell what card I had installed. Heres the specs for the interested.

C2Q q9550 @ 2.83GHz. Nvidia 9800gt 512MB, Gigabyte ep45 ud3r Motherboard, 4 GB DDR2 @ 1066MHz. I specifically choose these parts for maximum compatibility.

I am sorry of this has lead to some confusion.

I'm aware of that, but those lines occurring in the log when and where they did _used_ to occur on Windows until Antipodes Commit 6502 which is why I'm confused that they are in the log (presumably from this build)

You need 64-bit EFI to be able to run the 64-bit kernel, which is everything after the 945/5000X series machines (even those with 64-bit capable processors. My MacBook can't run it, for example, despite having a T7400 Core 2 Duo), but all except the Xserves boot up in 32-bit by default (for compatibility). I've read that it is possible to have non-XServes boot up in 64-bit by default with some hackery, but it's definitely not supported by Apple.
