Max 8.1.5 Released
We are happy to announce the release of Max 8.1.5.
This release focuses on issues introduced with Max 8.1.4, specifically addressing startup times on Mac, Parameter and Jitter regressions, and the inclusion of the new Javascript extensions (jsmaxobjlistener, jsparameterlistener, jsparaminfoprovider) in the Windows installer. We've also included a minor update to BEAP, among a few other things. Please take a look at the list below for more info.
As always, you can download the update here:

• VIDDLL jit.movie: fixed non-HAP texture alpha channel usage >>> thanks!!!
I'm getting a weird bug involving scripting an instance of [vst~] and trying to load a specific plugin, Pianoteq (https://www.modartt.com/). This is causing a patch I've been working on for years to suddenly give me error messages: "vst~ midievent: effect doesn't want events." I've tried a few other plugins without being able to generalize the problem beyond Pianoteq. Even still, something in this update broke what was functional for several years now.
I've attached a patch which goes through the problem step-by-step. In order to replicate, you'd need at least a demo copy of Pianoteq. Would anyone be willing to test this on their system and see if you're able to confirm the presence of the error message when scripting a new instance of Pianoteq loaded in [vst~]?
Please see attached patch.
Side note: It would be useful to have a link to Max 8.1.4 to downgrade. Can anyone point me to that?
Thanks for your help!!

Thank you Source Audio.
Replying to myself (and maybe someone else in the future) regarding Pianoteq errors:
I was able to solve the problem by specifying the VST version of the plugin. Apparently the problem was isolated to the AU version.
It looks like there might be some unsigned Viddll .dylib files - I've had to disable Gatekeeper to get jit.movie to work.
@ROBIN All the dylibs are signed (we couldn't pass Notarization without that). What version of VIDDLL do you have installed? Could you send an email to support at cycling 74 dot com with your Support info?
Ah - I've just noticed that the console is reporting I have two versions of jit.viddll.engine.mxo - there was an old one from when it was kept in the packages folder that was amongst some stuff I recently copied over. Sorted!
Thanks,
Robin
@ROBIN ahh great to hear, thanks so much for following up!
Hi. I think Max 8.1.5 has broken a few Jitter patches. I'm trying to roll back to 8.1.4 but can only seem to download 8.0.8. Where can I find 8.1.4?
EDIT: I worked it out through looking at the release dates/syntax of the installer filename. As sometimes things get broken between updates it would be really useful if this was a bit easier!
Max 8.1.4 installers are here:
Mac:

However, we'd love to know what broke so we can fix it! Feel free to follow up on a new thread or send a report to Support .

Above "Mac" and "Win" must be exchanged.
I have a trouble to authorize Max8 - "authorization" window is empty, so I am testing with Max8.1.4.
Is there an installer around by any chance?
what version do you want to download
I see you ask on another post for the download link in relation with using Live 10.
You can also redownload live 10 and use the bundled version...
Or what actually do you need exactly ?
SOURCE AUDIO 🙏 8.1.5 if possible.Just having some issues with some old devices on Live 10.

Thank you SOURCE, I recently had to reinstall my OS..Because I’m still on Live 10, would be fine otherwise. Appreciate it, Greatly..
