higginsdj Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Can someone tell me what the last stable Mac version of AM is please. Latest version (18L) Standard and SSE4 just crash continuously - I can't even create a project, load an object then save the project without a crash (everytime) or the Mac version really hates Tars assets! I literally can't get more than 5-10 clicks before it crashes - can't render, can't save though it does seem to let me just pose a model as long as I like....

Steffen can fix them when you give him a repeatable crash and the assets that go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginsdj Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 No, I don't spend enough time in AM these days to do any level of testing. It fails more than 3 times in a row doing the same thing I just move on. The Mac version of AM has never had a good rep for stability. I was a little more successful with 18k but I think I need to go back further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this holds window settings and stuff like that) I am on windows but maybe someone else can have a look at this just to see what is going on there and help solve this? see you *fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So installing 18L-SS4eSystem:I'm still running OSX 10.8.5Macbook Pro2 Core 2.6GHz i7 IntelNvidia Graphics card plus Intel built in chip.Ran a Terminal command first to make sure my Mac can handle SS4e. Which it said it could. So…First try:A clean instal. Not overwriting of a previous A:M installation:The A:M folder installed but no actual A:M application was contained in the resulting folder, which was a surprise!Second try:Overwrite of a non SS4e v18i insulation with the v18L SS4e version:Installation completed but A:M consistently crashes trying to start.I suspect this is because as in the first try no new app was actually installed so any new components that may have been installed aren't working with the old non ss4e version of A:M which was not overwritten as perhaps it should have been.Third try:Standard v18L instals and works both as a clean instal and as an overwrite of a previous version.I don't have any Tar assets to try so no idea what will happen trying to load those.Where do we find them?It's also been a while since I last used A:M and I don't really have much time now so I've no idea what else may be broken in the latest Mac version. v17g was about as good as it got I recall and I only used an early v18 for rendering with SSAO.

jimd Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hello I am using the newest version of AM and here are my specs Mac Pro (Early 2009) Mac os version 10.10.3 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 18 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB The new version is not very stable nor are all the others versions using 10.10.3 it works when it wants to and then it dose not It would be a good idea to get the specs from Steffen as to what machine he is using so at least we are all in the same ballpark T'm a big fan but it is a pain j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I haven't been using A:M recently, either, but just I just tried to open Tar and should point out that Dark Tree textures don't work on the Mac version. The plug-in stopped working awhile back. So trying to load those materials might cause the Mac version to crash. I do plan to get back on the train at some point in the near future, so hopefully the issues can be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer yoda64 Posted April 19, 2015 Developer Share Posted April 19, 2015 My mac development machine is a Mac mini (Mid2011) Core I7 , 8GB Radeon 6630M using OSX10.7.5 (the last version , where I'm able to compile A:M, newer versions won't work, due same framework incompatibilities) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelplucker Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If it means anything I have had stability issues with the dark tree plug since the 64 bit version of AM. This is on pc. Probably not just a Mac issue on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
