There is a problem with open gl. Restoring my drive back to ML.

Can you elaborate what the OpenGL problem is? I might still upgrade if it is a trivial issue... but are you saying that OpenGL doesn't work at all?

Thanks,
Karl

Switching to perspective or axon will crash AC in OpenGL but will not crash in Internal engine. There has been a case opened on the issue with GS. I spent over 10 hours trying to troubleshoot it with no luck. Also, there is a very slow response on reading from the Finder for files from Mail and AC. Other than that there are several great improvement and it is quite a bit faster.

Thanks very much, Daniel! I'll stay away until GS addresses this, as much as I'm anxious to try Mavericks. Thanks for reporting to save many of us the grief that you went through. Appreciate it.

I'm on ArchiCAD 17 Hotfix #3 and OS X 10.9. I'm not seeing the crashing in 3D. I'm doing everything I can to overload and nothing bad is happening. Curious.

Another friend of mine in town is not having these problems either. Hopefully this is an easy fix.
