Dicy2 for Live not working

Dear Dicy2 team,

Thanks for your interesting work with Dicy2!

I’ve not been able to get Dicy2 to run in my system (M1 Mac running on Monterey). The agent simply doesn’t go online (the server device seems to work fine, tho). In the Max window within Ableton Live 12, I see this error in the console: "DICY2-Agent.amxd • zl • bad arguments for message “mode”.

Any idea of how to fix this? Max and all used libraries are up to date; I have the latest version of everything.

Thank you!

I had a similar error reported relating to zl mode and it turned out to be a conflict between a patcher called ‘join’ and the Max object with the same name. The patcher was in a v. old version of the RTC library so once this had been removed from the path in Max’s File Preferences the Dicy2 for live demo session worked fine.

Hope that helps

All best
Sohrab

Thanks for chiming in, @sohrabuduman. I tried to follow your suggestions but I’m not sure I found anything related to the RTC library referenced within Dicy2 for Live files. Could you pretty please give me more detailed instructions, if possible? Would be amazing!

Hi,

Thanks for your help @sohrabuduman !
@decell, is everything working now ?

Not really! I couldn’t fix it. Would you perhaps be able to guide me through fixing this? Would be amazing :slight_smile:

Hi @decell, Oops sorry for my very late reply.

In the Max window within Ableton Live 12, I see this error in the console: "DICY2-Agent.amxd • zl • bad arguments for message “mode”.

In Live/Settings/File & Folder, what is your “Max Application” configuration? I assume it’s not “Use bundle application”, given your message? And what happens if you choose this option?
