green screen on mac mini

Jump to Best Response

When I open any game it has a green and pinkish colour on screen. if I move the mouse while playing the steam world games it goes away for a brief second then comes back. if I pause any game it stops for a brief second then back to green screen. Im using a Mac Mini Late 2012 running new OS X Catilina.

Is your older Mac, mac mini, macbook pro showing a pink/green screen when doing video playback from youtube or playing games at full screen?

Does the pink green screen goes away when you move your mouse?

 

SAVE YOUR MONEY! Here's your FIX:

 

1) Open Chrome

 

2) Click on the 3 vertical dots on the very top right of your screen

 

3) Click on "Settings"

 

4) Ignore the menu on the left,

and proceed to scroll all the way down until there is no more options left,

you will see an option that says "advanced"

 

5) Click on "Advanced" and more options will become available.

 

6) Look under "SYSTEM"

 

7) Turn Off  "Use Hardware Accelerator when available" 

 

:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:Select "Yes" to relaunch chrome.

 

This should solve any pink/green screen on Full Screen video playback.

Hi @THEDUDE247 

that sounds like an graphic driver / processing issue. What Chrome version do you use? Does your Mac supports hardware acceleration? 

Just a guess but you could try to toggle your game resolution (to High or default) in the Stadia app. Maybe this could help.

See the bottom of the support page on how to change your game resolution.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I tried 2 different monitors and 5 HDMI cables and the green screen would not go away (and it was only present while playing Stadia). Turning off hardware acceleration needs to be mandatory everyone not using a Chromecast.
