Has anyone actually managed to be able to use Archicad 30 with MacOS27 yet?

I had it working for about five minutes and now It crashes immediately on start up and no amount of restarts will fix it.

We knew it was an issue that was flagged in the beta, but there's absolutely zero excuse for formally releasing the software in this state.

The mac developer beta's been out since June/July and not a single other application on my Mac has had issues with the new OS apart from Archicad.

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon 27 Golden Gate

I can't believe it. What crash is the launcher. You can open a project double clicking in it and it will launch archicad perfectly

This is beyod belief. I had caro problems while beta testing it with Mac

I’m using 30 with macOS 27 and have been since release of macOS 27. The Starter page doesn’t always crash and a restart usually fixes it. I almost always open the files directly and very rarely through the starter page anyway.

Hi @Kalib Stewart,

I’m sorry for the disruption and frustration this is causing. We’re aware of the crash affecting the Archicad 30 Starter screen on macOS 27 and are actively working to address it.

We also have encouraging results from internal testing with a beta version of an upcoming macOS update. However, we can’t yet confirm whether the final release will resolve the issue, so we are also working on a change in Archicad that will be included in an upcoming update.

We understand that restarting your system two or three times is a significant inconvenience, and we truly appreciate your patience in trying this. If the issue persists after those restarts, please try opening an existing project directly by double-clicking the project file, rather than launching Archicad through the Starter screen. As others have noted here, this can bypass the affected screen.

We understand that a startup crash is highly disruptive, and thank you for your patience while we work on a solution.

Best regards,
Tamás
