New update crashes upon start up when using on steam with Mac OS. Can you look into this please?

dacap · January 12, 2022, 2:40pm

Hi @Waters, other user reported that but we cannot reproduce it, what version of macOS are you using? Could you please try to run the following command in the Terminal?

~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Aseprite/Aseprite.app/Contents/MacOS/aseprite

What does it say?

Waters · January 12, 2022, 2:45pm

Yea sure! I’m currently using “Mac OS Mojave” “Version 10.14.6”

And this is what appears within the terminal

" ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Aseprite/Aseprite.app/Contents/MacOS/aseprite

Thanks for the information, it looks like Mojave doesn’t support this “universal” binary, I think I’ll release the Intel version of the binary on Steam, that might fix this problem. I’ll need your help later to check if that is true.

Waters · January 12, 2022, 2:50pm

No problem! Can I send you my personal email? Just to ensure I respond quicker

dacap · January 12, 2022, 2:51pm

Contact me at support@aseprite.org with a link to your comment, I’ll take care of the ticket.

dacap · January 12, 2022, 4:58pm

The macOS 10.14 issue should be solved right now in Steam (updated dmg file in HB, itch and Gumroad too).

Just released a patch for the regressions:

Aseprite v1.2.32

Fixed regression clicking same spot with selection tools to deselect t/12491
Improved the detection of a single click for styluses/pens to deselect

Aseprite v1.3-beta9

Fixed popup menu size when multiple windows UI is disabled t/12497

Click-to-deselect works nicely even with a stylus, thank you!

Edit: And I see the right-click menus look good again even with multiple window UI enabled.

nincopyjasb2 · January 13, 2022, 7:32pm

Hello there, I’ve just found an error after I updated to the v1.3-beta9 via Steam. When I run Aseprite, the frame and Zoom indicators located usually in the bottom right of the screen aren’t visible. This doesn’t happen with the v1.2.32. I have to enter and exit Advance mode with Ctrl+F to get the indicators visible again.

(My OS is Windows 10)

pixi_bit · January 14, 2022, 6:02pm

Hi guys! I’m running Aseprite 1.2.32 on a M1 Mac Book Pro (BigSur), Steam edition.
I usually run the app from /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Aseprite/Aseprite.app but now it runs the arm-64 version with the New Aseprite v1.2.32 available! notification button activated.
If I run the app from Steam, it runs the -x64 (which I desume is the M1 version) and the notification button is gone.
There is a way to start the M1 version directly from the app, bypassing Steam?
Thank you in advance!

P.S. By the way, i’m in love with Aseprite.

dacap · January 14, 2022, 6:23pm

Hi @pixi_bit! Actually the M1 version is the -arm64 one, and the -x64 is the Intel one. From what you said it looks like Steam executes the -x64 version from the Universal binary, it’s quite strange because Steam should just execute the binary (and not looking inside the Universal binary).

dacap · January 14, 2022, 6:24pm

You’re right! I’m going to fix it (there will be a new v1.3-beta10 today with other critical fix).

pixi_bit · January 14, 2022, 10:17pm

Hey @dacap thanks for the instant reply! Well, this sound great for my issue.
If I can be useful, feel free to ask me any kind of test you need, I’m glad to help.

duke · January 22, 2022, 6:24pm

Thank you for macOS M1 chip support!!

rhetorik · February 6, 2022, 3:48pm

Hello! I’m pretty new to Asperite, and I keep seeing the New Asperite V1.2.32 is available button, but when i click on it, it brings me right here. Not exactly sure how to update to the current version, if I even should. A reply back would be awesome! Loving Asperite, by the way. Not great yet, but pixel art has now become a hobby / passion of mine and I’m so happy to have an application as good as this.

Olga_Galvanova · February 6, 2022, 4:14pm

hi rhetoric, you have to update from the website you’ve got the aseprite in the first place. that would be humble bundle, gumroad, itch.io or steam.

umutseven92 · March 22, 2022, 11:47pm

Hello, thank you for the awesome work on Aseprite!
I have a small issue, even though I’ve updated Aseprite (via Humble Bundle), I still get the “New Aseprite” notification. I cannot find a way to dismiss it. Please see the picture below.

I am on an M1 macOS Monterey 12.3. I have tried updating again.

dacap · March 23, 2022, 12:49pm

Hi @umutseven92, thanks for your kind words. About that bug, it’s highly probable that it’s related to a bug in our server. I’ll fix this ASAP and maybe in a day you will not see that message again (no need for update).
