Load: Poser13/prop/Primitives/Ball Hi-Res

Open Material Room, Go to Materials library, load: basic material

Generally this works.

Pick another basic material and load it: Instant CRASH.

Even when I restart the process described above and choose the material that crashed Poser, the material will load but when I then try to load the material that worked before it crashes Poser.

Termination Reason:    Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11

Poser13.3.1041

Mac M3 Max 

128G memory

I've been using Poser since P3, have never seen this problem before.

Any ideas as to the cause of this?

Thanks in advance for any feedback

I suggest that you open a ticket on the support, here: https://support.posersoftware.com/index.php
It looks like Mac's world seem to show errors only when they're relevant to a developper.

Thanks, Phyl for the quick feedback. 

In the past week searching the forum here didn't seem to turn up any thread with a similar complaint but I was hoping that the new release might have been created with other Mac users having already opening support tickets on this issue.

I've read here that this is the final version for Mac so I'm not sure what that would mean for any new Mac tickets.

This is my first Apple silicon machine so there is the possibility that the issue may be the Mac being overprotective. ???

And yet, I have rendered many files old and new on this machine without issue.

What works is loading figures, loading material poses (without issue), loading figure poses, props, sets, etc.

Going to the Material room, loading a material can work but change a second material: KABOOM!

So, thanks I will open a ticket but this first draft is here just in case someone else is having this problem and searches the forum.

If I get a real solution to this I will post it here.

I am a Windows user, since V1. But I also have a Mac Mini M2 since I am learning Bass. So that I've launched a few timers the same scene on both Poser 13 version (Win & Mac) without encountering any error.
From the searches I've done since concerning the error you got, the same remark was coming and coming: it seems to be a development error.
The fact is that Poser 14 will probably never exist on Mac, since Apple's mania to put barriers everywhere (Nerd published a response on that point).
But Poser 13 remains the current version, so that IMO you should try their support, I've always found that they are always ready to help, at least to respond.

Yeah and we read the forums for user that need support. Especially things like crashes. Tried this on MacOS 13.3 no crash. There must be more to the problem. Maybe the specific materials used?
