10.13 Beta 9 on a Friday

[Jlcollins]

Rather odd for a beta on a weekend. Downloading now.

Nope, not off at all considering Monday is a national holiday. Most people don’t work on Labor Day, except people in the service sector ( fast food, gas , stores, etc )

an even more-terrifying prospect... imagine a sunday beta? or a thursday one?

Must be getting very close to the golden master...

All I can say is this Friday's beta 9 17A360a screwed up the graphics on my iMac. If there is not going to be another update until middle of next week I may try restoring the OS then bringing it up to Mondays beta the worked fine. All my text messages are black and iTunes reloads images so much it crashes iTunes.

It is odd. They will normally do a Tuesday or Thursday.. Friday is not the norm. They normally never release an update on a weekend.

Tried reinstalling the beta again? Worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

I will try that now, nothing to loose. Also I received a strange message after the install yesterday which I think may have something to do with the problem. Why would it think I have an external GPU? Last night I did report the problem to Apple.

Just finished re-installing Beta 9 17A360a and the graphics issue is not there. Also did not receive the message that I have a external graphics card. So, it appears the re-install corrected the problem. Thanks Jlcollins.

So I installed the beta.
I wanted to test if Metal was faster, so I tried GFXBench Metal. It refuses to run the tests due to some "network error" (even though it was able to connect to the server just fine and show results from the database). So I decided to try War Thunder. This one silently crashes on launch.
I guess I'm out of luck. Has anyone got these two apps running?

The re-install of yesterdays update fixed it, Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi guys, I have this exact problem. Can someone tell me how to reinstall the latest Beta 9?

To re-install the same version again you don't do if from the App Store. That will only show what is new and what is already installed.

Go to the Apple beta sign in page and sign in: https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/redemption#macos

Then use the link to the update page of OX 10.

The images show what the page looks like.

Hope this helps.
