I also tried installing and running Fusion360 after I couldn’t get FreeCAD to run, but interestingly I get the exact same behavior, the splash screen shows and then it immediately crashes.

Is there maybe a way to force FreeCAD to use this OpenGL version? In safe mode when starting successfully the version is: 2.1 (2.1 APPLE-17.10.22). In normal mode when crashing the version is: 2.1 (2.1 INTEL-14.7.20) When comparing the log files from a crashing start in normal mode and a successful start in safe mode the only difference is the OpenGL Version.
FREECAD CRASHING SOFTWARE

Hopefully the above and the previous posts will help someone at least get FreeCAD working again.Ĭode: Select all > Unable to create basic Accelerated OpenGL renderer. I reported it to Apple, but have never heard back when I have made previous reports.
FREECAD CRASHING UPDATE
The 2012 MBP I have supports both OpenGL (up to 4.1) and Metal Graphics drivers, both of which are installed, so it is possible the 2021-007 Security update is moving some default config toward metal instead of OpenGL or blocking some OpenGL feature/fibrary that was less secure. * frame #0: 0x00007fff6d54833a libsystem_kernel.dylib`_pthread_kill + 10įrame #1: 0x00007fff6d608e60 libsystem_pthread.dylib`pthread_kill + 430įrame #2: 0x00007fff6d4cf808 libsystem_c.dylib`abort + 120įrame #3: 0x00007fff545e30a5 libGPUSupportMercury.dylib`ld.1 + 95įrame #4: 0x00007fff545da18f libGPUSupportMercury.dylib`gpusGenerateCrashLog + 89įrame #5: 0x00007fff28eb1dd0 AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsGLDriver`gpusKillClientExt + 9įrame #6: 0x00007fff545db55b libGPUSupportMercury.dylib`gpusSubmitDataBuffers + 164įrame #7: 0x00007fff28a87c78 AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsGLDriver`IntelCommandBuffer::getNew(GLDContextRec*) + 48įrame #8: 0x00007fff28a87aa6 AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsGLDriver`intelSubmitCommands + 187 And while OpenGL is deprecated, there is no indication that an update would kneecap it.Īny help would be very much appreciated as I have been working on this for a couple of days without solution.Ĭode: Select all * thread #22, name = 'Chrome_InProcGpuThread', stop reason = signal SIGABRT It is possible and even likely that I installed a MacOS update between FreeCAD working and it crashing. Interestingly FreeCAD always crashes before it creates user.cfg and system.cfg when in normal mode, but will generate them in Safe Mode.
FREECAD CRASHING DRIVER
It appears to be a graphics driver issue with OpenGL not loading or not loading properly.

I tried installing the weekly build 7, no change. Totally removing FreeCAD and it's Preferences folder and reinstalling 1 again but that didn't help.

On reinstall FreeCAD runs very slow and if I can get to Preferences and check the Use OpenGL software checkbox, it opens in regular mode, but crashes as soon as you click on anything. I tried safe-mode and again FreeCAD opened, but ran very slowly (it is safe-mode). After a hiatus I went to open FreeCAD 1 and it crashed on startup.įollowing all the troubleshooting I started Blender, it worked fine. dmg installer and it has worked very well. I have had FreeCAD installed on a 2012 MacBookPro running Catalina 10.15 for a long while, using the precompiled binary.
