Battery 3 loads as standalone app on macos 13.7, but plugin window is blank

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Recently I upgraded from macOS 10.15 to 13.7 and now can't use Battery 3 anymore. Strange thing it that the app still works flawless and the plugin does load, but the UI doesn't show up.

When loading a song with Battery 3 used, also the missing file windows appears, but also blank.

In Native Access, Battery 3 is listed, but I cannot update to Battery 3.23. The installer says "Can't find previous installation".

Is that due to my update and Battery 3 won't work an macOS 13.7 or is that something that can be fixed?

Hello,

im not a mac user myself but have you tried to open ableton with rosetta mode? But maybe your os does not suport battery 3 anymore, on the website native states from 10.10 on it´s not supported anymore.

Yeah, meanwhile I think, it just won't load anymore. Very sad. Although I own Battery 4, I never go into it and miss some of the v3 features, like importing multiple samples at once. B4 was a backdraw.
