Mac Studio + Monterey + M1MAX = crashing every 5 mins

PostThu May 19, 2022 9:36 pm

Hey team

Just got a fresh Mac Studio yesterday. Downloaded DR17Studio from the BM site. Used my Studio key from a BM camera purchase, all good, I get DR up and running no problem.

Only problem is that DR now crashes *every* 5 minutes. And I won't be doing anything. It will just be open in the background as I'm writing an email for example, and it just disappears. Yesterday it was disappearing and I was getting a dialog box from DR saying "DR quit unexpectedly" Today, it's just disappearing, no dialog box.

I just replaced my 2013 trashcan Mac with this new machine and please don't let this be happening! Deadlines looming and I can't be faced with crashing DR.

Anyone else experiencing this out there?

Monterey 12.3.1
Mac Studio (2022)
M1 Max
64GB

many thx!

Any other demanding software crashing too? Might be DOA.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

m1 ultra here since 2 weeks, more spinning beachball moments than ever, not really crashing so far, a few though. but overall not particularly a better experience with resolve.

To the OP - if you have any plugins installed, particularly any which are not Apple Silicon native, I would suggest you might try temporarily removing those to see if the problem persists.
