Really compatible with 10.11?



  • Well, I am using an iMac Core 2 Duo (2007) with Mac OS X 10.11 and all the versions of VectorStyler that I have tried close when I try to run them, with a crash message.

    Is it really 10.11 compliant? Is the problem my old mac? Don't they say in requirements that it can work on old macs? What then are your actual requirements?

    I'd really like to give it a try and maybe purchase it as another option in addition to the ones I already use. But for me it is important that my system be supported. I can understand that they are not, but I like it when they do. Now, I understand very badly that it is said that support exists, and in the end it is not so. That is even more annoying.

    P.S. Message translated mechanically as I do not speak English, I apologize if I have not expressed myself correctly.

    Per the crash log, it looks like the Intel CPU is not supported. It is compatible with 10.11 but the Mac might be a problem.



  • @vectoradmin Is a iMac (20", 2007) 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 6 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRo 256 and a SSD Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (updated)

    The Intel Core 2 Duo is not supported. VectorStyler uses SSE4.2 instructions, that are not available on those.



  • @vectoradmin Thanks for answering. Although I regret they do not support 😞

    Perhaps they could better explain in the help what hardware is supported or not. I have rechecked it, and I do not see more that it has been tested on 2010 macs and that it can work "older" but it does not say what or what requirements you really need.

    From what I understand, the note about the use of Metal is not mandatory either. I have already come across other programs that the problem is out there, still indicating 10.11 as a minimum.

    When the requirements require a specific hardware in addition to a system version, for those of us who are not experts it is better to indicate the hardware based on the supported Apple models so that we can better understand if it works or not.
