Alive Compatibility with macOS


 

Not Compatible with macOS 14

macOS 14 (Sonoma) has introduced incompatibilities (bugs) which break games like Alive and Tropical Heat. This issue isn't limited to Somatic Vision games, it effects thousands of games (depending on the game engine used for game creation). It may not be possible for us to fix these macOS 14 issues. We are continuing to look into possible future solutions. Hopefully Apple will fix these bugs. Meanwhile macOS is only supported up till macOS 13 (including macOS 13.6.3).
