![]() Otherwise my next workhorse purchase would be an AMD beast with Win10 Pro inside it. I really hope they will bring something suitable for our professions to use too. ![]() OT: I agree with Podolsky, Apple is not the best/easiest/greatest workstation to buy and use right now. I'm considering eGPU too right now to help me jump to Big Sur, but if it's not perfect, or if it's unreliable that much, I might have to reconsider and stay at Mojave for now. I do not own any of those so I haven't tried it myself. There has been some talk about not so complete drivers with RDNA architecture for intel Macs earlier. Maybe try disabling your dGPU (whatever you've got, 5300M, 5600M.) and try again to crash, to troubleshoot that one out. It could be a driver problem with AMD RDNA GPU. But until that you can have backup as Windows on your machine. Maybe Apple will understand soon that they again started to do sucks - as it was before in history. Get Bootcamp (if your Mac is on Intel) install Windows 10 or 11 by insider program - and you can have your ArchiCAD there as additional option - until Graphisoft searching incompatibilities with new OS. Like MS Surface - yes, you can have 28 inch touchscreen drafting board with ArchiCAD on it and digital pen - and this is something that Apple with their perfectionism cannot currently achieve. Plus the last Microsoft product getting really much better. Windows maybe is not giving same efficiency of CPU use as MacOS, but it gives you to run 20 years old programs in Windows 10 or 11 without any troubles. Now again new processor and new technologies - that means all previous stuff will work on emulators and needs to be re-build again for new requirements. These days Apple is making users suffer - first changing Motorola CPU to Intel - all developers needed to rebuild their software. Today different people are working there and what ideas has Tim Cook - we never know. Well, idea brought Steve Jobs - he brought to Apple his NEXT OS development. It's really silly, because they took UNIX free BSD as a core of MacOSX to be solid stable initially. Maybe Apple do not care about ArchiCAD users and more into their new chip, iPhones and iPads. Seems that Apple misbehave again, changing they OS that developers should desperately search for bugs and work to improve stability. The problem is that ArchiCAD is always crashing - multiply time per day. There was posts about problems with Big Sur and ArchiCAD from another users. I can post the machine specifications if anyone wants that information. Might have already been mentioned or documented, but I have not searched to see if that is the case. I realize that support for 23 may not longer be happening, so this is less about getting a fix and more about just reporting an issue. So that is a sort of workaround (though not ideal obviously). If the change to the surface is made while the 2D window is active, everything works as expected without crashing. If the 3D window is active when a surface is being modified (typically an alternate texture map is being applied to the surface) the machine briefly hangs after closing the Surface dialog box and returning to the 3D window, then the beach ball, then a crash. I have been running the machine with an eGPU so initially I thought it was due to that, but I can now confirm it also happens even when the MacBook is not connected to the eGPU. Everything has been going OK but I have recently noticed a repeatable crash now with Archicad 23 (we have not switched the office over to 24 as of yet- holding out for 25 I think). I'm returning the new Mac today and installing BigSur back on my old laptop.I upgraded my MacBook Pro (16" 2019- MacBookPro16,1) from Catalina to Big Sur recently. Thanks goodness that the control strip is gone though! Overall, Apple is finally close to having repaired the disastrous damage done by Jony Ive to functionality, but, losing its design edge at the same time. You still need to carry dongles as no USB-A. The top menu bar is larger and takes up more screen space, for no reason, as the notch is smaller. My wife thought it looked like an old Acer. (If they do.)īesides, the new Mac looks and feels cheap. I will review when AC releases native M1 version. Speed not tested, though safe to assume it will be also slower. In AC25 int trial, no Twinmotion or closing crash message. On top of that, Monterey stubbornly insists Twinmotion is malware and also returns crash messages each time I close Archicad. 3D navigation shows large square artefacts where surfaces align and is noticeably jerkier compared to the fluent performance on the previous Mac. In short, my Archicad 23 solo UK runs 5-20% slower on the new mac in practically all common operations. For the benefit of others: I bought the new MacBook Pro M1 16" (10-Core CPU 16-Core GPU 16GB Unified Memory 512GB SSD), to replace my 2019/20 base MBP 16".
