* On systems with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M, GeForce GT 755M or GeForce GT 750M graphics chips, a display issue may have occurred when continuously changing the screen resolution settings, which was due to an issue with NVIDIA graphics drivers. This issue has been fixed in the newest NVIDIA graphics driver provided with Mac OS X 10.11.3 for systems with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M and GeForce GT 750M graphic chips. Please note that if you happen to encounter this issue, simply restart the game to resolve the problem.
