So unfortunately my VDMX on my M1MAX 64gb version just stopped opening. I was working on a project and closed it, tried to reopen it and now VDMX just keeps crashing as soon as it starts loading a project unable to even click anything. Kinda freaking out as I need VDMX to work for me by Wednesday for a festival. Even updated my OS to 12.4 beta and still same results
I reinstalled VDMX and sometimes loads the clips but won’t let me Enter the Serial number again as it gives me the color wheel so I’m just stuck in Register Me mode

Hi, the latest beta for your OS is b8.8.0.0. Looks like you are running b0.8.7.2.13
When you reinstall, don’t install overtop of your existing version. This doesn’t remove all the files or replace them.
First, drag and drop your VDMX application into the trash and remove. Then install from the latest DMG. IF you want to be extra safe, restart in between.
Latest beta here: https://vidvox.net/download/vdmx_demo
So I had installed 8.8.0.0 before the bug report and it would crash still so I redownloaded. I honestly didn’t do anything when I opened the project up today again and it started working. Im just nervous now opening VDMX because I have no clue if its going to start crashing or not
Hard to say what’s causing it.
I use VDMX (multiple versions) daily, and I haven’t had a crash in over a year (it was more of a hang, but I force quit). It seems like the few reports of crashes with VDMX are with older Intel macs with Monterey, or pre 10.14 mac’s not running b8.7.2.4. I wonder what Apple’s doing on the backend.
Could you send a bug report through the help menu next time you have VDMX open?
Thanks
This sort of thing is happening to me as well. I might get a few minutes of VDMX on my M1 Mac Mini but it’s quickly ended by a spinning beachball and crashes. I now have my older Intel Mac Mini set up on a folding table near my regular desk running VDMX. I’m glad I have the back-up option but I’d love to run a non-Rosetta stable build on my M1 Mac Mini someday. I know it’s a small team of geniuses over there and it’ll iron out someday. I really just don’t want to go and learn Max MSP. You guys already have all those nice sliders and doo-dads. Anyway, good luck squashing bugs.
I once got a similar issue when I quit the app in full screen and restarted with another screen setup. ESC helped…
Hi @ellingson,
Could you send us a bug report with the built in help menu, and we’ll reach out and try to get those crash logs from you.
Thanks!
Sure, I’ll give it another shot. I tried to fill out the crash report box a couple of times and it crashed while I was typing.
Ouch, at least there should be a crash log you can pull out of that to send to us? support at vidvox
It seems that on my machine, VDMX hangs at startup or crashes shortly after if there’s an incoming MIDI signal to my M1 Mac Mini while it is launching. If I make sure that my CV-to-MIDI devices isn’t sending a pulse and then start VDMX, it seems to behave okay. I submitted a support email about it but I’m replying here in case it’s helpful to others.

Also, just fyi that I’m running VDMX under Rosetta.
