Visionaire 5.0.8 with older macs

  • #1, by davide-berardi Sunday, 16. December 2018, 20:16 7 years ago Quote
    Hey guys,

    I recently upgraded to 5.0.8 and the editor does not work. I get a red screen and the editor won't start. After researching a bit it seems that my 2011 MacBookPro does not support the latest version of Metal and that might be the reason. 
    Is that so? Is there a way to run the software in a different mode or something?
    Please help!

    what macOS Version do you have?
    I asked Simon to implement an OS check for the next update to force opengl for pre Mojave macOS.

    High Sierra, and I can't update to Mojave, it tells me that my machine can't do it when I try.
    When is the next update coming? I'm working on a game and I can't downgrade to 5.0.6 which was working fine.

    I'll probably do an update this week, especially for the Mac users, there are problems with retina. I used the Mac version as indicator if metal is available, seemingly this does not work. Even though the engine only uses basic features. Maybe I'll just check for Mojave.

    Ok great. Our production is halted because of this so looking forward to downloading the update!

    Any progress here?

    It seems that not only the editor, but (of course) also the Player uses this implementation.
    So if i want to play a game build with the latest VS5 engine, i cant open it on older Mac versions where Metal is not available.
    Pretty frustrating for people who are stuck and cant update to Mojave.
