Furnace built on macOS 14 crashes when using previous versions of macOS (especially in old processors)

[rhythmparker]

Furnace version 0.6.4 is crashing on MacOS Big Sur (11.7.9) immediately upon loading. I deleted the configs, but that didn't fix the issue. I have attached a copy of the error message. The last version of Furnace that seems to work for me is 0.6.2...

Oh no... this is the second time I get a crash on the very startup...

Mac and CPU model?

[rhythmparker]

Mac Pro early 2009, Xeon CPU (X5690, i think). GPU is a Radeon VII.

[tildearrow]

Try using latest artifact. This one in particular.

[rhythmparker]

I get the same result with the latest artifact. It still crashes. The Furnace icon appears for a second, vanishes, and the MacOS Problem Report dialogue appears.

[tildearrow]

Try with this one: https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace/actions/runs/9587807739

It is built in macOS 12 (which was used by builds before 0.6.3).

[rhythmparker]

That works! Thank you.

versions 0.6.4, 0.6.3, 0.6.2 are crashing with segfault 11 for me.

Reset your configuration file. The Metal backend is experimental and no longer the default in 0.6.4.

[mmontag]

Thanks. The build you linked yesterday in this thread works for me.

[tildearrow]

Dropping Critical priority since macOS 12 is being used for the builds. The issue remains with macOS 14 though.

[tildearrow]

macOS 12 image is going to be removed soon. I will test whether we still can build with macOS 13 and have it work.

[tildearrow]

Try using this artifact: https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace/actions/runs/11713850806

It is built under macOS 13.

[rhythmparker]

The linked artifact works for me.

[tildearrow]

Great! Let's use macOS 13 for now.
