I'm running Sierra (Macintosh OS 10.12.6). I'm still using Poser version 11.2. Is anyone running the same version of the Mac OS I'm running, along with Poser 11.3? If so, how does Poser run? I'm just trying to avoid problems if I switch up. The thing about v 11.3 being faster with certain Windows Graphic cards would not apply to me. I'd rather be slow and have a stable version, rather than jump to the very latest.

I run Windows 10 and have not noticed any problems under my system. Remember this is more of a major update than an upgrade. When Poser 12 is released then that will be an upgrade.

I'm using Mojave, but I am not aware of any Mac-related changes in 11.3 that should trouble you if 11.2 is working fine under Sierra.

I have El Capitan on my laptop and Poser 11.3 runs just fine on that.

Hi inquire.

I have a Mac mini running macOS Sierra 10.2.6. I did install/update from Poser Pro 11.2 to 11.3. Installation went fine for me and I've run a few renders. I haven't tried everything out, but my brief test was a good experience.

Lee

Thank you, everybody, for all of the information.

That's a typo, isn't it? My Mini's running Lion 10.7.5, and I can't even run Poser 11 on it. That's why I had to switch to the Windows machine. I'm gonna be SOOOO pissed if that's not a typo!

Is it a typo? I'm eagerly awaiting the response.

Whoops! It's a typo. macOS Sierra 10.12.6 (not 10.2.6). Sorry about that.

Well, for me, that's even better, because that's what I'm running: 10.12.6. I was wondering why LeeMoon would have stopped at 10.2.6.

But I'm sorry for EClark1894. I don't know why you can't run Poser on 10.7.5, except that 10.7.5 is an _earlier version of the Mac OS. I think I read that v. 11.3 of Poser runs on the Mac OS from versions 9 through 15. Perhaps that's the issue. But I'm no expert. You should probably check on that. And, if that is the situation, are you able to go up to at least Mac OS version 10.9? I know there are different possibilities regarding which versions of the OS you can run, depending on when your model was produced. It depends on the motherboard, the hardware, the firmware, I think.

I think it may be the Mac Mini itself. It's rather old. The second version of the machine that Apple built.

No problems with 11.3 on macOS 10.12.6 (mid-2011 27" iMac) that are any different in character to what you'd be used to on 11.2. No software is perfect (yet) but we're in a much better situation than we've been for years regarding progress towards rectifying serious problems.

Some things are slightly different (library additions).
