Hello! Thanks for your waiting! For today a half of new "3DCoat" sources have been compiled under macOS (616 files out of 1082).

Thank you kindly for replying to that  It makes it a lot easier to keep waiting just hearing anything about it!

[Rygaard]

@Andrew Shpagin I installed 3D-Coat 4.9.21 and I can't open the program to work (both DX or GL) ...
I downloaded 3D-Coat on both of the two available links ... and none of the links worked during installation!
I don't understand much, but maybe, some problem with compiling the program?

Is anyone else not able to open the new version of 3D-Coat?

@Rygaard

The same for me, i thought it is something wrong with my system, it just closing with error in event log

[Rygaard]

@sprayer,

I thought I was alone in this problem ...

I tried to see if windows 10 was blocking 3D-Coat 4.9.21 from opening, but I didn't see anything unusual. Everything is normal.

I just downloaded 3D-Coat 4.9.21 again and installed it again, but unfortunately the program does not open ( DX or GL version).

I am waiting for a solution.

Issue was reported.

[Silas Merlin]

not running here either. I'm curious, are some people able to make it run ?

"Thank you" for the "stable" work of the program (4.9.17), I just lost the result of ten hours of work due to the bad saving the file (when the program continues to save the file a couple of seconds after closing).

I also noticed several times that when I subtract one layer from another, my layer disappears (is deleted), which is not involved in this at all and is not even selected.

[Dmitry Bedrik]

I just tried to remove a layer. ALL my layers are deleted. Thanks for the "stable work." In the "stable" version 4,9,17, 

[Dmitry Bedrik]

Now I delete this “stable” version, which is not one, and roll back to 4.9.05. Stop lying to people, calling the lagging buggy something - "stable version".

[Carlosan]

I want to be clear on this: all the versions that you can find in this thread are BETA.
When they refer to stable, they found no notable crashes before the release.

There are more stable beta versions and less stable beta versions. But ALL are BETA.
They should NOT be used in production.

They only serve to see and test future new tools, which are currently in development stage and can be changed or modified.

[Javis]

And further note for you Dmitry, it is clearly marked as beta. So saying the team is lying is a lie itself. Find yourself in the corner. Don't post like this anymore. Final warning I'll ever give you.

[Andrew Shpagin]

Seems there was one extra file in installation - OpenCL.dll

Delete it manually from installation.

I reuploaded installer, but you need to uninstall 4.9.21 first to get it to work.

Anyway, deleting the file will help.

 

[Andrew Shpagin]

We are depending on OpenCL more and more, so testing compatibility of this build is important...

[Andrew Shpagin]

Regarding stability and lying. I am trying to get to a stable state day and night, but after so big changes it is not easy. Some builds were marked as stable because there were no obvious problems during testing for several days but in longer-range there were problems...

But without all that changes long-term development is impossible. I understand the frustration when some work lost, but I am trying even more than I usually may...
