How Is FL Studio on Mac STILL This Broken? Serious Question.

[faourious]

I’m posting this because I’m honestly reaching the limit of what I can tolerate.
I’m trying to understand why FL Studio on macOS is still this unstable, and I want a real technical explanation, not generic “update macOS” replies.

1. Constant Crashes (10+ per day)

FL Studio is crashing constantly.
Random crashes with no pattern: playing a sound, editing MIDI, adjusting a parameter

2. Project Load Freeze: “Opening: Fruity Wrapper”

This is the most infuriating part.

A lot of projects simply refuse to load.
They get stuck on:

Hint Panel: Opening: Fruity Wrapper
Then the rainbow loading cursor appears, FL Studio becomes unresponsive, and I have to force quit and try again until the project opens.

3. Crashing When Inserting Plugins


Sometime when inserting a plugin usually a third-party, FL can instantly crash.

4. Broken Shortcuts After Browsing Samples

This one is just bizarre:

After I search in the Browser, basic shortcuts like
P (Draw), E (Select), etc.
suddenly stop working.


It's becoming more and more frustrating.. A FIX IS NEEDED!
