M2 Development has identified the cause of black screen issues affecting Mac users on the new launcher's first launch. **The Issue:** - Mac systems need to compile shaders locally on initial launch - Results in a black screen lasting up to 1-2 minutes - This is a one-time occurrence that won't repeat after caching **User Actions:** - Wait 2 minutes even if the screen remains black - If unresolved, submit log files from: `~/Library/Containers/io.msquared.M2DevelopmentClient/Data/Library/Logs/M2Development.log` **Planned Fixes:** - Precompiling shaders to include in future builds - Adding a loading indicator to improve user experience The team is actively working on these improvements to prevent the issue in upcoming releases.
