MacOS 15.4 breaks v.2.3.1, 2.3.2

TheOneTrueRobb

I was tooling along blissfully blasting ghouls, and then I upgraded MacOS to 15.4. Now, v. 2.3.1 crashes the machine. I am sad. Anyone know what the deal is here?

v. 2.3.2 crashes as well

Having the same experience on a 2023 MacBook Pro that just got updated to Sequoia 15.4 (v2.3.1 was working fine on 15.3.x). Also tested 2.3.2 release candidate with the same result.

We haven't received a response as of yet. Probably researching.

Here's the message it gives me:

Same problem here... looking forward to hearing back from anyone with a solution for it!!!

So, someone/anyone at Deng: Are you going to, at the very least, address this problem? Anything - an acknowledgement that there actually is a problem, and that someone is hopefully working on a fix?

Too much to ask?

I doubt it that they are doing anything... There hasn't been a new release of the engine since 2021. We are DOOMED!!! LOL

Hello there. Yes, I can confirm this crash is occurring, and also that the project is very much on hiatus currently so no quick fixes will be forthcoming, unfortunately.

I suppose we've finally reached a point where the old Intel builds aren't going to work on modern systems. The solution is to try putting together a proper arm64 build, although that's not exactly a trivial task. I'll make a note to look into this if/when I manage to find a few hours of spare time (finding time is also not a trivial task :-| ).

Thank you, skyjake!

I would pay to get a copy of Doom 1-4 that works on my M2. Just a thought. Obviously, if that cost is prohibitive, that's probably not gonna happen. But if it costs similar to, say, Prodeus, around $25, I'd shell out for that.

I had a problem on MacOS after the update. The 2.3.2 build crashed, but I performed a clean-up and fresh install. Now, everything is working fine.


upd. I haven't tried Sequoia 15.4 yet, but it helped me last time.
upd2. I can confirm it's no longer working on 15.4. I'll have to dust off my older mac with an older OS.

I suspect deleting application settings files (not sure where they are locatated in MacOS) may be enough. I had similar problem in Windows and Linux in the past after major updates, turned out some old settings were incompatile with new versions of Doomsday and OS.
