Cineware renderer quits in ArchiCAD 28

I just downloaded and installed ArchiCAD 28 and I get the same message regarding Cineware rendering engine quitting that I got with the 28 Technology preview:

Hi, 

you need to replace a Cineware folder in installation folder of Archicad with a functioning one.

Did it work in 27 or have you never tried that?

Could it be a machine specification problem (I don't know what specs are required) or a video driver update issue?

Yes, it worked fine in 27. I have attached a screenshot for system requirements and my system specs.

I have this problem too. I get the same error message after recently updating to macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and AC28.

As a test, I tried a saved version of the same pln file in AC27 on Sequoia and got the same error message. It was previously working in AC27 on macOS Sonoma just a couple of days ago, same hardware.

 

Older suggestions / solutions to this problem have not worked or mention deleting files that don't seem to exist in the current version.

I have checked system security settings and both AC28 and Cineware have the necessary permissions as far as I can tell.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So it seems to be a Sequoia issue then.

Something in the Cinerender side of things has not been updated to work with Sequoia.

 

Be sure to contact your local Archicad support and report the issue.
