I don't understand.  Apple is well known for their world class support of graphics companies, both software and hardware. o.O

Actually I was pretty sure it was Metal ;P  It was brutal for Blender and I'm pretty sure they have a bigger dev team than Poser.  

And I'm glad they're cleaning up some of the bugs that crop up when developing content.  Poser needs to support content devs BIGLY!

Nothing improves the tools better that the tool company using their own tools.  This is actually why I'm happy rendo bought Poser.  It aligns interest of content developer, platform developer, and product developers.  Which all benefits consumers.  Yay!

After all, a figure without *content* is like.... Uhm... almost every figure other than V4. 

Wish I could help test either.

That's not it. Poser 11 runs on my 2017 Mini and Monterey. I suspect it's a similar issue to the recent HD4000 thing. Please if you're affected by this a crash log would be really helpful.

P11 runs on Monterey on my 2017 Mini. So, there's more to this. Could you share the specs of your Mac? That will maybe give a clue as to the cause.

A quick search of Google News shows that the OS just had a big .1 update. 

"still a variety of macOS Monterey problems plaguing Mac users right now."

It works. Poser 11 doesn't.

Yep me too. Protocol Error - NSPOSIXErrorDomain:100.

Ok so I asked if the update would overwrite my preferences and was assured it wouldn't... well dammit if is hasn't just overwritten my preferences and set up Gammy Legged La Femme as the standard and overwritten the whole thing...

I am so blooming cross right now! I am going to waste so much time fixing this!

Can you please fix your MAC updater so it just blooming works! I have written this 3 times to filter out the blooming swearwords...

If Mac users get a "malicious software" warning, here's the work around:

Brilliant thank you!

Went to update and my Mac Pro running Catalina 10.15.04 and this pops up:

The latest newsletter states that unless we upgrade poser will stop working... so unless we hand over $99 our expensive software stops... that is extortion is it not? Isn’t that illegal in the USA it is in Australia.

I will have a licence upgrade and bug fixes as option please... and it should be free. In my humble opinion this is not a great way to start a relationship with Poser users.

The licence change is Bondware’s issue not mine to sort out and the developer has a duty of care to fix bugs... as for the new content bundle... great... ask us if we want to pay for that as thats fair. I already own all the headlined content so I don’t need it.

Please can someone clarify the situation as the newsletter and commentary is contradicting itself.

1: the upgrade is compulsory? 2: we have to pay $99 even with the latest version of poser? 3: you can keep your existing preferences?

Some clarity on this would be welcome.

The information given me in this thread (see above) seems correct. If you have, that is, one of the qualifying versions of Poser, you should be able to download it and you will NOT have to pay the $99 fee. The email that was sent out was confusing, at least it was so to me. In my case, for the 11.1.1 Pro Macintosh version that I had, the download installed 11.2.276 right on top of it and picked up my license key during the install. I only had to enter my license key when I wanted to download the additional content zip files. It was all free. No payment was required by me at all. This link should take you to both the Windows and Macintosh download page, and the Additional Content Files link is right there, too: https://www.posersoftware.com/downloads

Thank you. Yes that newsletter was scary to say the least! Thanks for clearing that up.

If you have poser 11, poser 11 pro or poser 2014 game dev the update is free. All other versions of poser will continue working as normal. This has been explained many times in these forums.

Thank you. Of course that assumes all people read these forums all day and no one just reads the Bondware/Rendo newsletters that don’t state this... and contradict this statement.

Thanks everyone.

I was surprised to get the warning as I run Poser Pro 11 64 bit, so it may be a bit of old code floating about. No need for a screenshot as its not something that pops up that often and its the standard MacOS warning "This program will not run on future versions of the OS"...

Yes the random Renders window is annoying... and has been an issue since Poser Pro 11 came out. I desperately want Poser to be successful, otherwise I will have to go to DAZ and I want DAZ to have some healthy competition.

"My products may be for sale but I am not. I'm not going to sit here quietly while you bash them with unfounded criticism thinly veiled behind 'I wish it well'. A question posted across forums is someone looking for an answer: a complaint reposted simultaneously in several forums is someone trying to stir the pot. You have around 50 posts bashing Victoria 7 in the exact same way -- I don't use DS or Genesis much, but saying that Victoria 7 brings nothing to the table over Victoria 4 is totally absurd."

Thats "Total BS" Blackhearted. Go ahead take what you want out of context to blow something up beyond belief. You had to go personal. BOOM. The nuclear option

I have not had 50 posts on any topic in total here and have not posted in years due to fabricating trolls arguing the toss. Most comments I did make were in response to some tedious "Poser is crap" rubbish nothing to do with the merits of a figure I cannot use. For Pity's sake I am not wedded to V4... why in gods name would I spend $100 on La Femme if that was the case? I wanted La Femme to be brilliant.

Its not a "systematic attack" its one blokes opinion... god forbid anyone else makes a comment...

If you had just said " I'm sorry you feel that way, where are you experiencing particular problems, and this is why I decided to do this" then we could have had a nice civil conversation... going over some of the merits of the figure I missed in my ignorance... but no. This is now bigger than Walmart for no good reason. Why? I was just giving my personal opinion. I did not expect you to get so angry about nothing. I'm genuinely sorry. I was not having a go at you personally, but clearly you have decided to attack me personally. That is uncalled for.

Ok you don't like my feedback fine. I will not comment on La Femme again or use her. I have deleted her and all her content. Not because of the figure (and I appreciate the work that has gone into her production) but totally because of your attitude. I happily spent $50 on her accessories made by you. Never again. I have also reviewed my runtime and I am deleting all your historic content I have purchased. Please don't think I will put you out again by giving any further feedback because I would hate that. You will note my emphasis on the other replies I have placed about my personal opinion and the repeated comments about hoping the product does well and that there are aspects about the figure I think are brilliant. I'm sorry if that is so offensive to you.

Please relax. I am no longer a problem for you and I will never buy anything from you again so you won't get offended.

Any criticism I may make is my opinion, I am very sorry if my opinion as a CUSTOMER is "UNFOUNDED" by what my PERSONAL opinion is. I did not realise that I had to unquestionably love everything you make, but I do now. Great. Result. Thank you so much for the product I have enjoyed in the past.

"Several forums" is 2 I was actually looking for the discussion forum, I apologise for posting twice. I genuinely wanted to wish her well. OK.

END OFF.

Please feel free to launch into more personal attacks if it makes you feel better as I will not respond again as I don't want to upset you further. Oh and bash V4 all you like. I really don't care and would love to replace her with something better. I hoped La Femme was it and for everyone else she still could be.

I wish La Femme well.

She takes far too long to do simple work with and is a nightmare to pose realistically... finding the bits through endless menu's and then having to fiddle with each lip or eyebrow end.

Are you using Poser 11?

Poser 11.1 Pro.

It's nothing to do with the software. Its just a fiddle "FOR ME" finding the right dial at the end of a certain menu and then finding another dial for another part of her mouth and then trying to get the legs a different shape, scrolling through the morphs... and so on...

She has far more flexibility than V4 and infinite variations in everything... and every control you can imagine over every part... Brilliant.

I personally don't have time for that. It is my personal opinion. I'm not saying it's wrong to have a figure this complex. Lots of people will love her, I hope. I also don't like most Rap music. (Waits for sky to fall in)

It is only my personal opinion for what I do with poser. Other people will love her. I wish her well, but due to other comments I have now deleted the figure from my runtime and I will not personally support the figure going forward. This has nothing to do with the figure itself or the hard work that went into creating it.
