ProjectMilkSyphon 3.8 won't start

Support
1

Hello, and thank you very much for your great work on ProjectMilkSyphon!
I recently downloaded and installed version 3.8 for the first time, but unfortunately, the application crashes immediately when I try to launch it. It doesn’t open at all.
I looked through the forum and tried deleting the preset files as suggested in previous posts, but I couldn’t find the directory
”/usr/local/share/projectM/presets” on my system.
Could you please let me know how I can resolve this issue, or if there’s any log file I can provide to help diagnose the problem?

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i9
macOS 13.7.8
64 GB RAM
AMD Radeon Pro 5600M (8 GB)

Thank you very much for your time and support!

Is it crashing in a way that you can report to apple, or do you have any crash logs in your console?

Any mentions of PMS on the forums before would be from the old version which you can still download.

Thank you for your reply.

I uninstalled the previously installed version of ProjectMilkSyphon and reinstalled version 3.8 from the download link you provided.
Unfortunately, the situation hasn’t changed — the application still crashes immediately after launching.

I’ve attached (or pasted below) the crash report for your reference.

Thank you for your help.
