I think this is the proper place to post about this, but mods can feel free to move it if they want.
So, most of the problems I've found about the Douar-en-Enez quest are issues with finding the Old Captain at Bebbanburh or finding Beda at Boar Grove. I got past that with no issue. The problem I'm having is during and after the quest. I can set sail with the fleet, no issue. I get through the dialogue to the big sea battle with no discernible issues. Now the fun part...
I don't really have any issues getting through the sea battle. Now and then a sail or other texture just goes black and at that point I know the game has gotten to the point where it won't save regardless of whether I get through the battles.
If I get through the sea battle with no issues, I get to the land battle. I have four ships there, one is on its own to my left and the other three are kind of just glitched together. The land is just a black silhouette against the sky, and the sea is the sky texture but with upside-down clouds. If I look up (towards the top of the masts of the three ships that are glitched together), I can see the enemy soldiers. If I walk around a bit I somehow glitch up to them, at which point I can kill them all if I'm patient. At that point, I can see the Beda's Chronicle message and get back to the sea near Friese, which I assume is the end of the quest.
The problem then: every landmass in sight is black (though I can still see city names on them) and every ship on the sea (including my own) is also just black. The sea itself has retained it's proper texture. If I try to save, save as, or save and exit, it will not actually save the game. I've tried turning down all of the video options to their lowest setting as a way of diminishing the requirements of the game for my computer, but that didn't help. I'm on a 2012 13" MacBook Air. It runs native Warband perfectly fine, as well as any of the Witcher games and things like Sid Meier's Civilization. I've never had issues with any other games on this.
I'm looking for any suggestions of how I can possibly fix this issue. I really enjoy the Viking Conquest DLC (not to mention the fact that I paid for it), so I'd like some way to finish it, if possible.
