Arena 5 issues on Mojave

[benneill]

Arena 5 isn't running for me on Mojave 10.14, I have some old projects that need Arena 5 because of plugins that aren't available for 6 and 7. I tried redownloading Arena 5 and installing it, but still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Try renaming the Documents/Resolume Arena 5 folder to check if it's an issue with the settings.
If it doesn't help, please attach the mac crash log, and the Resolume log file from ~/Library/logs/Resolume/

I don't think there is a crash log because the program just doesn't open at all when I double click on the application or try to open a Composition with it.

Mac crash log should be in /Users/yourUser/Library/logs/diagnostic reports
Does the Resolume log file exist in /Users/yourUser/Library/logs/Resolume/ ?

i have this problem too, need to use res 5 for dmx with usb and two universes...
renamed settings folder, reinstalled res 5, res5 log is empty... just won't launch. one bounce and an error message from the system.

If you're looking to jump into the new Resolume 7, this box is affordable and will get you off the usb dmx path and into artnet:

Not right now. I do own 6 tho. This works with that?

[Arvol]

Yes.

[Zoltán]

So, what's the error message in the system, and the crash log in the folders I posted earlier?

[leolodreamland]

It’s empty. Like we both said earlier. It doesn’t even get to a state where it launches to put anything in there.
