How did you do that?TheSebi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 6:46 pm I also have the same issue with my MBP 2012 running MacOS 10.15.7.
FreeCAD still worked two-three months ago and I get the same behavior as you described now.
I am certain that I installed an update for macOS in the time between.
Switching to safe mode also works for me and I am also quite sure it has something to do with the Intel Driver.
When starting FreeCAD from terminal in safe mode, I get two more lines of output than in normal mode:It then continues to successfully start.Code: Select all

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.
In normal mode when crashing the version is: 2.1 (2.1 INTEL-14.7.20)
In safe mode when starting successfully the version is: 2.1 (2.1 APPLE-17.10.22).
Is there maybe a way to force FreeCAD to use this OpenGL version?
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.
This problem is really frustrating. I hope there will be some fix for this. Maybe I’ll also try reinstalling macOS and not updating, even if that isn’t a proper solution to the problem.
Update:
So I also reinstalled the OS using Recovery Mode to the version before the Security Update 7 and everything is back to working like before.
Mind to give me short instructions how I can go back to update 7?
