Asked this question on the in-game forum and it was suggested I post it here... (also posted in the Mac forum)
So ever since installing the new Mac OS Big Sur onto my MacBook Pro, there has been a huge problem with the game being able to render graphics. Everything that is part of a menu screen or HUD renders fine with no abnormalities, but the game graphics themself (Trains, scenery, etc.) all appear very blurry with lines sort of on like those on a diagonal grid slicing through the entire screen. On top of that, when you move or reposition the camera the screen blurs even more and you get a weird double vision affect where images won't move or disappear, and looks almost as if you were drunk and staring at the screen. I've tried to fix this issue a few times by uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but to no avail. I didn't want to mess with the settings too much and mess it up even further so for the most part I've left them alone, however I've set all the graphics capabilities to the lowest possible setting. I've begun to suspect that the problem may lay in the fact that Trainz 2019 just isn't compatible with Big Sur yet, as I found it odd that the issue surfaced immediately after upgrading the system software in my Mac from Catalina to Big Sur. I installed the OS back in late November 2020, and the issue is still ongoing. It's now the first of February 2021 and to say the least I'm disappointed that a fix hasn't surfaced (at least to my knowledge) as its been months since Big Sur released. I'm hoping that I'm not the only one with this issue, and even more so someone can chime in with a quick fix to the problem. Below are some screenshots of the problem. Thanks!
Here are the screenshots of the problem in Dropbox, as I can't directly post them here.
