Colors distorted after sleep (macOS Sierra)

Hi all,

I'm currently on macOS Sierra (10.12.2 bèta (16C41b)) on a Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) even though I've opted out of the bèta program, but that isn't the issue here 😉

Whenever I open my l laptop and get out of 'standby mode' my colors are distorted. There are pink/purple lines all over my screen. It is not a hardware issue I believe, because when I scroll the distorted colours move along with it. I'll try and make a picture of it but it dissappears most of the time after 5-10 seconds.

Anyone else having this issue and/or knows how to resolve this?

Kind regards,

Robin.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

Intel Iris Graphics 6100 , but why??

It’s sad to say but you’re right. Sierra is much more polished than is conterpart. The bug is that developper are now switching to swift 4 and Metal 2. So High Sierra will be mandatory.

So they just acknowlelge that this is a software issue that they are aware of. Just got the same response by my friend at the Apple Genious bar today. Let’s wait the next update then.

As I said before , there is no problem in safe mode . I'm sure our problem is related to customized GPU driver(like metal in high sierra) . as in the safe mode they using the default drivers .

The safe mode option is for Goshpare as I replyed to him/her, no offense intended.

It seems that he/she think that the issues might be physical.

Okay, so I installed the new High Sierra update version 10.13.2 and so far, so good. I haven't had this problem since that!

Hi Guys!

First of all, Happy New Year 🙂

So, did Apple finally solved the problem? I don't no, if it's worth to update my El Capitan to High Sierra 🙂

I am also experiencing the same problem when I start up my computer or when my computer has been sleeping. Has anyone been able to get to the bottom on this issue?

Similar experience too, I look forward to your result after you re install High Sierra.
