MacBook Pro 2020 Ventura 13.5 crashes

Post by Ralph Crk »

Goodmorning, i have an issue with Magic Performer (MP) , that I didn't have before. I work on several Macbooks and I'm using MP for streaming visuals made of movies combined with fractals.
Since last month there was an update on macOS Ventura 13.5 and I also update Magic to the latest version and since then Magic crashes with the same projects that didn't crash before. I not certain if it's due to macOS Ventura 13.5 or MP so I did re-install macOS Ventura 13.5 again but with the same result. I'm quite certain it has to do something with memory issues but because it didn't happen before on this same MacBook Pro I would like to be able to run it again as before. When I run the same project on my old MacBook Pro mid 2012 with 4MB intern memory it stays performing (but the projection is choppy) that's why I installed it on this Macbook.

I have done that to, and even uninstalled and installed it again. The problem come from the window interface that doesn’t release the memory I think, so when I start up fresh it works but after a certain time it crashes again. The only solution is flushing my ram memory and restarting the macbook.
Strange enough before the updates I didn’t have this problem, only when I had to many scenes loaded in one project it could crash MP but not my Macbook as it does now…

Update: I have installed OS Sonoma 14.0 and my problems are solved. I now manege to use Magic as before without crashes or other problems. As a test I did stream a file of 5GB to a projector without any problem.
