Hi Bjorn,
Thanks for the report. However, I am unable to reproduce this crash with the information you have provided. I recommend doing a clean install of the beta by first deleting the MaxMSP 4.6 folder and the Max 4 Preferences folder, and then running the installer again. If the crash persists after reinstalling and restarting your machine, try to provide us with more detailed steps to reproduce. Be sure to also include vital info such as whether or not you’ve installed the CFM Support libraries.
Cheers,
Andrew B.
Hi Andrew,
There are no more steps to it. Thats all i needed to do to make it crash. I’ll do a sweep and reinstall. But i’m not up to speed on those CFM libraries.
Are those essantial things that need to be installed?
I have not installed 3rd party objects for this version. Though 4.5.7 with all it’s contents is still sitting in my app folder.
Does 4.5.7 and all the stuff i installed for it, need to be deleted or moved in order for me to run this beta?
The 3rd party objects that need to be updated for UB, are those obsolete as of 4.6 for the PPC too? (for example the RTC-lib)
Cheers

if you are on PCC, and want to use older externals (CFM – compiled by
metroworks typically), you need to install the CFM Support libraries
which will let Max load those older externals.
try it with no 3rd party externals loaded at all – and then install
the CFM support (its in the Max/MSP contents folder ) and try it. It
might be a 3rd party external?

Just uninstalled the previous versions of max and reinstalled the beta.
Now i cant reproduce the crash.
Could you define older externals? older as in "non-intel" or are you talking about an os 9 thing?
Does this UB switch mean that almost all of the externals that can be found on the web, are now totally unusable with max?
In other words, i shouldn’t even bother trying out the new version of max with anything other then factory content?

Hi Bjorn,
If you have installed the CFM libraries (that nag screen that pops up
when you open the beta), you should be able to use any older externals
provided you are working on a PPC system. CFM objects will not work on
Intel macs.
