the easemapper and matrix2texture vizzie objects seem to be missing? or am I looking in the wrong place (i only checked the vizzie sidebar)
Thanks for your note. I'll take a look and update things as needed!
Do me a favor - go into the Max 8 Package Manager. You should see an update to Vizzie there (Version 2.0.3). Install that, and I think it ought to fix your problem.
Great! , that pattr/type bug drove me nuts. Thanks.
But why does "alt + double click" for "help - patches" no longer work in Max8 ? (Mac)
@HERR MARKANT
alt + double click seems to work here, I wonder if there is some conflict, either OS or Package related. Feel free to drop a note to support with your Support Info and we can investigate further:

@gregory: That did the trick. Thank you.
Hello, I got this message while trying to install under Windows 10:
"The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\Cycling'74\Max 8\resources\packages\BEAP\help. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator."
I am however almost sure to be logged as administrator to my computer. What's wrong?
A simple computer restart solved the issue.
I have a strangely thick right border on the right when performing a search and the beginning of the text is hidden on the left.
I'm experiencing a lot of issues with text in non-western languages in the [text] object. When I display the text in comments or messages some characters are dropped. I had same issue in Max 7 and was hoping to see this fixed in this release!
It seems that from the "Documentation: mc.function Reference" the "Open Help" link doesn't find the helpfile of mc.function...
Hi! There's some strange thing about packages. Even if they claim to be supported by Win7 i have this error for all packages.
Win10 System
1 Node can't work at Standalone,we have copy the node folder to standalone.
2 Simple Chinese is Block.
3 Crash if load some vst,if open the sound,plun the Vst.
4 Crash if the project is bigger.
5 Crash no reason.
So 8.01 maybe not a standalon tools now.
Is Max8 working in 64 bit only on Mac?
Is it possible to choose 32 bit on Max8 for Windows ?
Max 8 is 64-bit only.
I have a number of issues with mappings, in particular with loading and saving maps. I think there are a few bugs there.
Hi ! I'm having a little problem with the Max Package Window and the Max Documentation. Whenever I open either, they just show a blank page. I can interact with it cause if I click randomly on the window I can see it changes page eventually... Any idea on what might be the issue ? If I open Max 7 it works great, but I'd rather not have to open both if I need to look the documentation up. Thanks in advance for any advice. :)
Hey there.
My Max will not load the flonum and number objects, before I have been opening the MAX package and then load MAX 8. Restart and Reinstall doesn't fix the problem.
Cheers
Mikkel Meyer
When they don't load, what kind of error message are you seeing? Also, I don't suppose that it's possible that you have a file/abstraction in your search path called "number" or "flonum," do you? That kind of thing bites me all the time when I'm patching quickly and trying to give stuff functional names.....
I get this. I have just started MAX and make a new patch. As you can see its only those two there are making trouble.
Hey, Mikkel: One thing you could do sort of quickly would be to open up the Search window and just type the word "number" in and see what comes up - since the new Max 8 search will go through your entire search path, it'll show up if there's a problem....
Like this?
Yeah. Those diagonal lines suggest to me that the objects are somehow not present for the app to find. Might I humbly suggest doing a completely clean install?

Merci. When I got rid of the cycling folder in Library, the problem disappeared.
