Hi jtucker, thanks for posting the crash report files.

For MoI_2020-11-17-073509_Johns-Mac.crash, the crash is happening because the viewport display mechanism using OpenGL is failing to initialize. In the v4 final release instead of crashing this should now put up a dialog saying that the graphics card setup could not be initialized. But MoI will not be usable in this environment. This is when you're running the Mac OS inside a VM?

For moi_report7.zip - that seems to be an error in the Wine emulation system that the MoI v3 Mac version uses. Is this also when running Mac OS inside a VM or normally?

Michael,

Both are running in a Parallels VM of Mojave. I made this as a back up plan to run legacy 32 bit apps. It seems some other apps that are graphics intensive are having issues as well.

Hi jtucker, yes sorry I don't think that running inside the Parallels VM environment will be supported for the MoI Mac version. It seems to be limited in the graphics card emulation.

But MoI v4 is now 64-bit and can run natively in new OS versions where 32-bit support has been dropped by Apple.

MOI 3D seems fine under Big Sur on my Macbook Pro.

Hi pauland, yes I have not had any reports of problems on Big Sur with MoI version 4.
