Archicad crashes on macOS 12.3 when closing a tab with the Tab Bar

[Minh Nguyen]

UPDATED: the fix for this issue is part of Archicad 25 Update 5010 and a special hotfix Archicad 24 Update 7009, which was released for Archicad 24 and Archicad 24 Solo.

Dear All,

We have been notified about a new issue with Archicad on the latest update (12.3) for macOS Monterey.

Issue: Archicad crashes if users close a tab using the X icon, or hover the mouse over this icon. The issue happens on Archicad 24 and Archicad 25 (please refer to it as DEF-8186).

For those who have already installed macOS 12.3 update, here are some workarounds to avoid the crash:

1. Hide the Tab Bar by opening Windows menu > Hide Tab Bar, then navigate using the Navigator or Organizer.
2. Without hiding the Tab Bar, we can cycle between the tabs using Ctrl + Tab hotkey (or via the Windows menu). To close the current tab, use Cmd + W hotkey. To close all other tabs, open the Windows menu and select Close All Other Tabs and Windows.

The fix for this issue is part of Archicad 24 Update 7009 and Archicad 25 Update 5010.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards,
Minh

Martin, 

Have you updated the MacOS to 12.3.1?

Yes I only updated to 12.3.1 this week, which is when my problems started. Was hopeful that 5010 would resolve the issue but as soon as I opened a file I went to close a tab to “test” it and it crashed

Hi Martin,

I'm very sorry to hear that! We have tested the issue in-house, and so far even after we released the hotfix, we haven't got any report about any similar crash after update 5010.

Could you please let me know the bug ID generated by the Graphisoft Bug Reporter after Archicad crashes for a quick check?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Minh

Hello 

Is there an update on when the hotfix will be released for the solo versions of 24 & 25? 

Thanks.

is there a deadline to release updates 5005 and 5010 for Archicad in spanish.

It's been months since the first one was released and we Spanish mac users are eagerly awaiting the update to fix the problems with Monterey

Hello,

Thank you for the question!

Both hotfixes for Archicad 24 & 25 UKI Solo has been released. I'm wondering if you have received them?

Best regards,

Minh

Hello,

Thank you for the question!

The hotfix for Archicad 25 Solo SPA (5011) has just been released today. According to the schedule, the hotfix for Archicad 25 Full SPA will arrive next week.

Thank you very much for your patience!

Best regards,

Both work as fast or faster than my previous Intel.

32 should be enough but even with 64 I get some memory swap, though I usually have multiple AC versions running.

No issues so far.

I notice no speed differences between my 2019 iMac and 2021 M1 Max MBPro. To me it should be noticeably faster... like other MacTel app running in Rosetta 2. But in general, Archicad has latent clicks. Even half a second is noticeable and too slow. Hoping their native version is blazing!

There is a known issue with Archicad on macOS 12.3 where it crashes when closing a tab with the Tab Bar. The workaround is to close the tabs one at a time from the bottom up.
