Funny, I just posted about this problem yesterday, although mine occurs with version 12. No one has replied yet though. You can see my post here, in case anyone replies:

HighSierra is to new for 12.5- you are asking for problems using old software with latest OSX (specially when software plugs in quite deeply into OS).

hi guys,
having the same problem with 14.3 on High Sierra event though it has worked fine for the last few weeks.
today it crashed and now will not start up properly.
i can see the project file but can't open it.
have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the BMD version but doesn't help.
have tried uninstalling and then installing the Mac App Store version which only sees projects from 2 weeks ago.
anyone had any success/answers?

Yeah, but the problem is that the project files are tightly integrated into DaVinci Resolve, instead of being available in arbitrary directories like most other programs. So I feel uncomfortable upgrading my version of DaVinci Resolve until I am done with all my current projects (as opposed to upgrading in the middle of a project, where it might destroy my work).

So when the OS automatically upgraded to High Sierra, it left us in this situation... Trying to figure out a a good solution.

I have the same problem with Resolve 14.3 on High Sierra (10.13.3) but this isn't an upgrade.
I installed Resolve 14 clean a couple of months ago and it has worked fine until yesterday when it crashed and now doesn't get past the splash screen.
Hav tired uninstalling and reinstalling but no good.
Have tried uninstalling and just installing the AppStore version which opens but I can't open any recent projects.
Hoping for some help soon.

Adding to the technical info now:

I am running Resolve 14.3 (doesn't open so can't find further info) on OSX 10.13.3 a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)

Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Storage: 500GB with 355.87 of available space
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

The media and project files are stored on an External 2 TB SATA Disk Thunderbolt drive with 1.18TB of available space.

How do I post the capture logs without using a url?

Please let me know if you need any further info.
