running on 32bit in Lion but crashes after 20 mins or so

Post by Daddo1 »

the subject line basically says it all.
I got g-force to install by changing iTunes properties to open in 32 bit mode. everything runs fine but roughly 20 mins in, iTunes crashes and gives the error "iTunes crashed while using the g-force plug-in" (or some such error)
is this another Lion compatibility issue or is something else amiss? I did recently delete most of the Sprites in the sprite folder - is that somehow at work?
(I have to add my voice to those who are disappointed by the recent failings of sound spectrum to have gotten ahead of the compatibility issues on this and the slow response now that they are behind.

Hello Daddo1

The following was recently posted by a SoundSpectrum employee, hope it helps:-
sitsparky wrote:We are aware of compatibility issues with our software and the new Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and iTunes 10.4 and are working to address this shortly within a coming update. Though we typically try to address these things before a new media player or operating system is officially released, Apple makes it a bit more difficult and less cost-effective for developers when leading up to a product launch. In fact, along with other third-party plug-ins previously available within iTunes, there are a number of other applications which either do not work on OS X Lion yet or have shaky workarounds. However, please know that compatibility with this new OS and new version of iTunes is top priority for us right now and we hope to be able to release a compatible update as soon as we can.

Regards BTT

@Daddo1, you got further than I did. On Lion with iTunes in 32-bit mode, G-Force and Aeon just show a blank white screen on my Mac. The bottom line is SoundSpectrum products do not work on Mac OS X 10.7. As BTT posted, at least they claim to want to support Lion, they just haven't done so yet.

Cross your fingers, maybe they will have something by Christmas.

thanks for letting me know, JP...

...I can't believe how long it is taking Soundspectrum to react
