Just up graded to High Sierra and discovered my screen saver graphics won't run on this OS X. I hope someone is working on a fix because the screen saver is the reason I run BOINC. |

From BOINC Screensaver information for OS 10.13 High Sierra: Charlie Fenton wrote:This project hasn't yet updated its graphics applications to work with High Sierra, and no time line as to when they'll do this. Mostly due to there being no manpower, or anyone with a Mac to do so.Apple has made a security change in OS 10.13 High Sierra (released last Monday) which breaks BOINC project screensavers. I have developed a fix for this problem, but unfortunately it will require that projects relink their Macintosh graphics apps with a new graphics library and distribute the updated.The BOINC side fix will be in 7.8.3+, but the projects will have to rebuilt their applications in order for this fix to work. |
