I upgraded to an M1 Mac a few weeks ago, and I haven’t seen any new problems with Alice 3. I am running 3.8.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many students in my class, across all platforms, have seen a freeze in Alice 3.8 that wasn’t present in older versions. It seems associated with switching to the Move tool. It has been hard to reproduce, so I haven’t reported it yet. It freezes for several
seconds, up to a minute or more, and then recovers and starts working again. It feels like a memory leak, but I don’t know what it is. I don’t think it’s the same thing Heidi is describing, because it started in version 3.8.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style=""> Thanks so much for responding so fast. You guys are awesome. We will try the new version first. Just wondering....has anyone else written in about this issue? I know that rosetta was a problem in previous Mac OS versions.
Is this still the case?</div>

<div>Sorry to hear you’re running into Alice issues.</div>

<div>Is there a reason you’re on Alice 3.6 instead of the latest version of Alice 3.8? I’m not sure it solves the problems but it would be the first thing to try? </div>

<div class="gmail_default">I have been using alice for 12 years with my middle school students and would like to continue teaching my students with this wonderful tool. We were having issues running Alice 2 so we moved to Alice 3.6. I have a M1 mac book with
the Sonoma 14.3 and cannot get alice to run.It keeps freezing and I have to force quit. It is also giving me a rendering error due to performance issues when I select run. If I can't find a solution the Alice program will be pulled. My new tech dept has limited
exposure to working with Macs so it's been a struggle. Please help.....</div>
