Grasshopper instantly crashing on MacOs BigSur

Hello,

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro and have recently updated from macOS 10.14 to macOS 11.2. Since then, I can no longer use Grasshopper. Is it a known bug and do I have to downgrade or is there a workaround ?

I can launch Grasshopper but I cannot add any component to the canvas without Rhino crashing…

Thanks !
Best,

Félix

Hi Félix -

Thanks for that - nothing that strikes me in that one.
Does this happen with any of the components that you place on the canvas or only specific ones?
I’m not seeing any crash reports from your eMail address. Are you sending in those reports?
-wim

Well I didn’t send all of them, but yeah quite a few.
For now, I haven’t been able to put a single component - tried with the simplest ones, params like Point, Curve, or Surface, or constructor ones like XYZ Point, Line 2Pt.

Hi @wim, I have no idea what weird was inside my Application Support folder, but I wanted to make a clean install of rhino and deleted it before reinstalling rhino, and now everything works back fine.

If it can be of use, the tiles of the starting screen of GH were showing a weird regular-Times-New-Roman-like font, instead of the usual bold-Arial-like font.

Thanks for your help.

Best,

Félix

Hello I have the same problem, is there a solution? I cannot use GH in my Mac.
