Client Freezes as Soon as it Starts up on MacOS

[sechecopar]

So, I figured out that some other people were having the same issue I was on Mac which was basically some other program is interfering with Java so the client can't run properly.

What sucks though is that the replies are always "it must be Contexts or Magnet or something" I have neither of those apps, so I have no idea what it is that's conflicting with Xmage.

I could go and delete absolutely everything from my Activity Monitor but that would mean I'd have to do that every single time I wanna run Xmage, and since it's not a fast process it would render it virtually unusable anyways.

Anyone know how I can find out exactly what is clashing with the client so I can just shut that down? Thank you!

If it freeze before you see a connection dialog then it's auto-connect problem. See here for the fix.

@SteffenJahr are you a topic starter? You must restart mac to apply new settings. If not helps then describe your problem with details:

1. Hows you run it?
2. What you see at the end (on freeze moment)?
3. Is it open something on startup?
4. Is it allows to open connect dialog?
5. Is it allows to open country/flag search button in connect dialog?

@JayDi85 No i am not but I have the same issue. I launch the client, the ui shows up and immediately the color wheel appears and the app frezes. And I restarted my Mac several times.

1. MacOS on a Macbook Pro M1 Max
2. See Screenshot
3. Yes the UI is showing up
   4 & 5. I can't click anything

Hi, OP here, that com.apple.java.util.prefs API isn't showing up on my end:

This is where I get to before it freezes:

For reference this is my Activity Monitor:

Notice the size of the scrolling bar to the right to see how just blindly closing everything isn't a viable option.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hey, did you solve this issue in any way? It looks like I have the same thing and I can't seem to fix it.

Hello, sorry for getting back to you this late, sadly this has not worked - (I downloaded the newest Mac tar file and overwrote my Contents folder. Still the same issue of an unresponsive XMage Connect Screen. I really appreciate the help though, Have a great new year!       Gesendet: Freitag, 15.
