Errors with 2020.2.2 release

Hello,

After installing the latest release, I run into errors (macOS Catalina Version 10.15.5). Opening PsychoPy form app icon results only to an error window (with options to open console or terminate). I still can open PsychoPy from terminal but clicking on any components in the builder GUI results in the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Terminal also gives a “Fontconfig warning: ignoring UTF-8: not a valid region tag” when opening the program. Maybe related?

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks,
Antti

Hej,

The most recent MacOS version of PsychoPy seems to have a lot of issues unfortunately, a bunch of us have encountered the same error as you described. Personally I just downgraded to 2020.1.3 (which confusingly enough seems to have the version no. 2020.1.2 when I look in the ‘about’ info) in the meantime.

Thanks for a quick reply. I’ll try the 2020.1.3 release.

Sorry, although thanks for the useful error message. I’m sure we can get that fixed - looks like the machine I test on had a different set of fonts so didn’t reveal the error. We’ve changed the fonts calls a little as part of the theme work and clearly that’s caused a problem on some macs

Dear Jon
Congrats for this new release and for the great job behind psychopy! =]
I installed the 2020.2.2 release in admin mode (dell latitude laptop running W7 with a graphic card intel HD 520, with drivers uptodate), and started psychopy from the command line. Unfortunately i ran into the error below. Would you have any suggestion? Thanks a lot
All the best

Hello :slight_smile: Here are a few of the errors I encountered yesterday:

err2
err21487×296 76.8 KB

err
err1117×531 74 KB

Also: can you please, please find a better way to introduce new lines in the text component?! The new method is a nightmare to edit (it has automatically removed spacing between words for existing text components to introduce a new line?!)

Just to quickly comment that the new 2020.2.3 release seems to work at least on my machine! How splendid! Thank you!
