Guide: If you have issues with new VLC on high end device
Posted: 12 Dec 2023 12:30
I'm facing an issue with VLC version 3.0.20 for macOS on Apple's macOS Sonoma 14.2 system. This occurred after updating to a new version of VLC. Even on another laptop, the error persists. VLC doesn't launch; it goes straight to a Crash Reporter window. I've searched forums, but found no solution. I've encountered others with the same problem. I'll send the error report contents.
