Hi there Vertigo, I don't know if you are the right person to ask, but just try it anyway. My problem: I'm using a Mac, and earlier this year I changed my Intel based Mac for a brand new one with the new silicon based processor. It gave me unexpected problems: all kinds of application that seems to be designed working on the Intel processor, are now being rejected by that new type of processor. I'm working on that to upgrade and replace them all.

Why bringing this here? Well, in the list, only two Renpy games are also listed being rejected the next update. And one is Crimson High. See attachment. (the other is My catgirl thinks she runs the place, but that's an already completed old game).

My question is: are you using maybe older Renpy software and is it going to be updated? If not, I will try to find a workaround. Don't bother too much just for my sake, but If you know a solution I'm all ears. Thank you.

Hey there.
I do use an older RenPy version, yes. RenPy 7.5.3, to be specific. While I would like to update it, that has come with save file issues in the past. However, since I've had to implement a save file fix a few versions back already, I guess I may as well give updating RenPy another shot and see if the fix also covers that, or at the very least can easily be augmented to do so. It's not going to happen for the upcoming update, though - the one afterward at the earliest.

Other than that, my experience with Macs is basically zero, and thus my knowledge of potential solutions lacking. Sorry about that; I hope you can either find a workaround, or if not, endure until I eventually get RenPy updated. :)

Okay, that explains why other renpy games don't get listed. Thanks for mentioning. I was planning on postponing that next update anyway, for as long as I can, cause games are just a minor issue in this matter. There is a lot more I need to upgrade or find an alternative for, and it's a slow process. Thank you.

This is not going to be supported starting with MacOS 28, but 28 is the next one, not the one that just came out.

The message you showed is a warning, not an error.

Dev has approximately one year until this becomes a problem, and even then, only for MacOS users that immediately update to the latest version (which I never recommend doing anyway - always wait a while)

(Not that I'm against updating things to having native ARM support, as it is more efficient, anyway)

Yeah, maybe I did not mention that clear enough; it's not an acute problem, but a problem to come sooner or later. I'm getting these warnings for a few months now and am reasonable up to date with replacing and upgrading everything affected, but regarding CH I'm dependable/dependant (what's the right word, sorry) on the developer. If not, then I know it is my own problem and not Vertigo's.
