Good afternoon-

I updated my Mac to Sonoma Version 14.2.1 (23C71) and have the most updated version
of Studio 2.0.

After launching Studio, the program becomes unresponsive. I've uninstalled
and download several previous versions and the problem still continues.

Has anyone else updated their Mac within the last few days and having issue?
If so, have you found a solution to get BrickLink to work?

Cheers!

Hi,

It’s a known problem, a lot of users have been caught in it: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?t=9775
and the team is aware of it: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?t=9874

There’s no fix yet but I listed possible workarounds here (none perfect): https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?p=31723#p31723


Also, as you can notice, all the posts are on the dedicated forum for Studio
and PartDesigner, https://forum.bricklink.com/ (hover over the red Studio icon
on every page, then click “Studio Forum”), which is where one should look for
info first

There have been LOOOOOOADS of reports of this on the Official Studio Forum (
https://forum.bricklink.com/index.php ). Unfortunately, other than rolling back
the OS (for now), there is no solution - See message here - https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?p=31866#p31866

Alternatively:

Upgrade your Mac: Windows.
Upgrade your Windows: Linux.



What? No, I'm not a troll!

Only problem is CUDA doesn’t work with Wine (at least for Eyesight)

On another note, I'm using Linux still, specifically Zorin because I like
a traditional desktop and Ubuntu is unfamiliar to me. It feels much faster than
Windows 11 did.

I also tried Arch. Managed to do the whole partitioning and mounting, made the
filesystems, installed Budgie as my environment, and I didn't really like
it too much so I switched to Ubuntu before going back to Zorin. The thing I learned
from that whole experience is that OSes are supposed to enable the user and Arch
through its simplicity makes that really, really difficult. Just the Wiki entry
on installing Steam made me second guess running with it.

It’s often the case

Hmm, you seem to have stayed with Gnome-based desktops.  I’m partial to KDE (lots
more options but good defaults).  Maybe worth a try.

So many choices

Arch isn’t for the faint hearted

Their help pages explain things in detail.  That can be very helpful when something
goes wrong, when you need to understand the details, but it’s indeed daunting
as a first approach.

Depending on the distribution, it can be way simpler… but also maybe not very
well documented.
So, always look for docs from your distrib first, then go to the Arch wiki if
something goes wrong.

I am having the same issue, any solution would be much appreciated because I
cannot find any...

Please, do not follow the links I gave in the first answer to this thread (https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1444184
), you’d risk finding a workaround.

I would ask a 5th workaround:
Open this file on a (friend, family?) Windows 7/10/11 with Studio installed.
I don't know for Linux/Distros/Versions.

There’s actually other solutions discussed later.  Notably simply using fullscreen
mode.
