Are you sure? My Windows 7 VM will no longer function properly. It boots, but I only see a black screen. Can't see the VM.

VMWare appears to be working for me, including a Windows 7 VM. I initially had a black screen for that VM but after shutting down and restarting the VM it is working. It does appear to be using a fair amount of CPU.

Steam actually supports 64bit since quite a while ago, but it doesn't completely apply for those who already have installed since the 32bit version.
So you just have to reinstall it from the download page and it should work on Catalina as well.

Microsoft Office 2016

Steam is 32bit for those interested

I'm seeing the posts where Steam is said not to be working, but on a clean Mojava -to- Catalina install I was able to install Steam and it downloaded the client successfully. It starts up and shows me my library, is there something specific that isn't working? I haven't tried controller support, and I believe they install a driver for that to work.

Steam actually consists of two parts: a launcher (which is the thing you see in /Applications or whereever you installed it) and the actual client, which is buried within Steam's Application Support folder. The latter has been 64-bit for quite a while already, the launcher wasn't. The launcher also doesn't get updated automatically, which might explain the discrepancies some people here see.

Anyone using Zwift (cycling app) that has given it a try?

Microsoft Office 2016

Working for me. Example version: MS Word v16.25 Edit: I have Office 2019.

Might someone be able to verify whether Aperture has survived another major update?

I downloaded it just to check and ... nope. It doesn't give the standard "this is 32-bit crap" message but it still doesn't work (there is no later version).

Has anyone been able to use virtual box on Catalina?

Ive tried to use a windows 10 VM and each time after about 2 minutes it will crash. My VM currently is sitting in the virtual machine manager with the aborted state due to all the crashing and improper shutdowns due to the crashing.

I will try to update Office then

Working? Not working?

Not working for me as MacOS won't open it and refuses to add an exception in Sys Prefs / Security.

OK, forced it to run by using "sudo spctl --master-disable" in the terminal and now it works. I'd rather not have to do this though.

Same, was not working and heavily depend on it on my Mac and iMac.

 

[BaggieBoy]

Anyone else have an issue with iPassword 7 and it's Safari extension? The extension seems to have been removed during the Catalina installation and no obvious way to reinstall it.

Scratch that: it just started working and the extension is now installed.

 

[beckchristopher]

Zoom is not working. Attempting to join or start meeting fail to connect to meeting.

 

[zorinlynx]

Has anyone tried X11/XQuartz yet? I depend on this heavily for work.

You might be able to get it to run without disabling Gatekeeper completely with these commands, from the spctl man page:

EXAMPLES

To check whether Mail.app is allowed to run on the local system:

spctl -a /Applications/Mail.app


To allow Frobozz.app to run on the local system:

spctl --add --label "My Stuff" /Applications/Frobozz.app


To forbid all code obtained from the Mac App Store from running:

spctl --disable --label "Mac App Store"

 

[KoolAid-Drink]

Ugh Qemu.... Gatekeeper hell.... dylibs from unknown developers need to all be approved for "security" reasons..
Qemu so far is not working (used for emulating OS 9.2 etc)

Ugh, oh no. I use Qemu heavily. Is there any way around that message?

 

[zorinlynx]

Try the spctl commands in my post above. That may resolve the issue.

Anyone tried:

Skim
BibDesk
Filemaker 16
Filemaker 18

?

thanks

Seeems to be running (2.7.11) okay although I have not tested extensively yet.

Seems like 6 won’t work anymore on Safari, sadly
