Max 8.3.1 crashes on saving new patches

Little update: until 8.2.2 version the problem is not present. From 8.3.0 forward it is present.
I have uninstalled and trashed Application Support cycling74 folder in my account, recreating it, but it is not a valid solution. I can not realize what can be the solution.

This convenience api looks like
it was introduced on OSX in 2016 (10.12), and you’re still using 10.11 (2015), hence a crash. Is this happening anytime you try to show a save panel? (Like if you Save As… an existing patch)?

(in any event upgrading the OS would fix it, but I gather that’s not workable for one reason or another… nice job keeping a 2012 machine up and going!)

Hi,

Thank you for reply. The crash happens even if I choose "Save as" in saving a new patch. I supposed it could be connected to API features. But the strange thing is that nothing happens on old patches or using until 8.3.2 Max version. Anyione has any idea about resolving?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: yes, if possible I would like not upgrading OsX...

HI Fabio, pleased to see you on the Forum. Did you try to trash max preferences as well as every c74 folders (application support, every other c74 folder, depending on you file path) the app itself and then reinstall ?

don't bother cleaning max folders and similar.
The problem really is Save As... dialog.
Resaving any existing file in same location will
work as expected, also save as template or save as project
works without problems, because filetype is known.
any save dialog with filetype option will crash,
like write buffer~
or building collective or standalone

writewave message to buffer~ again works ...
P.S.
max 8.1.11 works well on macbook 2008 el capitan

Hi Riccardo,

Yes, I have trashed every Max folder in Preferences and Application support, and reinstalled, if I remember good, without success. Now I try again, if I can in a more radical manner. Today I was in my Institute, on High Sierra Max 8.3.1 runs, so I could try to update, even if I would miss the possibility to use PWGL (the main reason for which I have still El Capitan). Or I will downfrade to 8.2. Meanwhile thanks to everyone for suggestions and help, I will keep you updated on this matter.

Well, until now nothing to be done, I have erased all max folders, restarted the computer, reinstalled, reactivated and restarted, without any success. I suppose it can be a writing problem: if I copy an existing patch in another location, by system operations, max opens and save it, but crashes if I try to save as, or if I try to save a new one. For the moment I must surrender...

mmhh,
I'm afraid that Source Audio is right. I don't have enough experience about API and similar things. Consider that, if you want to continue using PWGL, you might consider dual booting. It depends what are your main targets: Pwgl or the new features of Max 8.3.1. I personally prefer the Bach package, but i know that switching platforms is quite annoying.

Although I don't have a timetable, we are aware of the issue and hope to have a fix in the next update.
