Hi all,

Just providing some additional information here:

I am the developer of Astro Pixel Processor, I can confirm that macOS Sonoma 14.4 beta1 was the cause indeed, our user reported that the problem was gone in 14.4 beta2.

But I can also confirm that macOS Sonoma in general seems to have many more issues, we needed to disable metal for java2d to prevent our application from crashing at application startup on all the macOS Sonoma versions. We needed to set both:

-Dsun.java2d.metal=false
-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true

to have a working application again on Sonoma and it seems hardware specific, it did work on most macs, but not on all with metal enabled.

Kind regards,
Mabula
