When summoned in fullscreen mode, the application window turns black. This happens on both Intel and M1 macs, as others have noted. And, while not as severe, I noticed that even on Windows 10 something like the shadow of the Taskbar appears, again in full screen mode and when the hotbox is called. Sometimes just opening a file would crash Maya, again and again.At least it shows there on top of the regular window.


Yes, Maya on iMac with M1 works through Rosetta 2. The file itself is OK, and it won't happen every time. It is not natively supported so this performance is pretty much expected. I doubt we will see Maya native M1 version build anytime soon. It will be much better) Maya 2022 slow on intel iMac too. We are still working on it and hope the M1 support would be added from 2022.1 XB3 or XB4 if everything goes well cheers. Sometimes other harmless things would cause a crash, like pressing Space, orbiting the view, or undoing things. Apple recently announced the M1 chip, the first in-house chip designed specifically for Mac (November 2020).Generally though, I like working in Maya on the M1. when will a bugfix version be released? Making Maya more stable would be a huge benefit. New macOS systems with the M1-chip are designed to work with macOS Big Sur 11.0 operating system. When will a native ARM64 (M1) version be released? It has been a year since the devkits are available, so maybe Autodesk has at least an estimate of an ETA? I am mainly hoping for some rendering speedups, because interaction speed is actually pretty good, even through Rosetta.Currently, we're working closely with Apple to optimize Autodesk software to work with Apple silicon.
