Hi! Which version of Blendluxcore did you try? This one is for Blender 3.5 and macOS. Link

on intel version MacBook Pro,theres no error at all, meaning this problem is being faced by everyone using apple silicon MacBook.

[Ramirikka]

Did anyone find a workaround?

[tinashekupfuwa]

not yet,I hope the guys working on Luxcore render will hear our cry.

[tinashekupfuwa]

Is there any progress towards working on this ?

[neo2068]

Hi! As far as I know, nobody is actively working on this. There have been some activities from the mac os maintainer back in 2021 but no news since then.

[tinashekupfuwa]

Its a shame, I wish they can continue working with this.This renderer would shine well with Apple Silicon.

Same issue with my Silicon :(
