Mac version stops responding when setting move routes

[SwoX]

It seems to happen most frequently when creating or editing a move route. The app just freezes up and there's no recourse but force quitting it.

This happens semi-frequently, maybe once every few hours. I can't reproduce the bug reliably, so I can't pin down exactly what's causing it.

Another bug is that I have to restart Steam to get the app to run again. I can get other apps/games to run just fine, but MV won't have any of it.

It happens to me too, actually both of those things. It's so annoying when its stops responding lol, just make sure you save quite often.

Yeah, I was raging a bit when it happened most recently, but apparently I did save when I switched to a different map, so only lost a few minutes of work... this time. I thought I'd lost the better part of an hour. It's been worse in the past. I've gotten so used to Mac apps saving automatically that I've gotten less diligent with saving frequently.

This might be slightly off-topic but it's close enough, I guess....

So I am a mac user and I'm considering getting MV since I'm a bit sick of dealing with parallel desktop to get to Ace. How does the software run on mac? Would you recommend the switch? Anything I should be wary about? Should I prefer the standalone version or the Steam one? Any other thoughts or recommandations?

Thank you very much! (And sorry if i'm derailling your thread).

There is a slight problem with the fact that the mac version is currently only available through Steam. A standalone version will follow, but they can't give an ETA at the moment, so you'll have to install steam on Mac if you want it now.

Please check for the other topics on the mac version for details instead of hijacking this topic

Yeah, I tried doing a search first, but all the words were too short and non-admissible. "MV", "Mac", "OSX" were all turned down, so I ended up searching for "maker version". I was going to start my own thread but saw this one so... ANyway, sorry for the inconvenience...

This is still an issue. Please fix this bug! It's driving me a bit nuts! For some reason it's doing it almost every other time I change a move route now.

I have the Mac version as well and the issue only happens, for me, when I push a keyboard input while the windows focus is on the mouse input buttons. If the the focus is on the left column which has the list of actions to perform, it doesn't cause the issue. Hopefully this helps you work around the issue in the future.
