MacOS Monterey: Sweet Home 3D starts in black screen

[ami6]

Hi all,

I am new to SH3D and just installed it on my MacBook Pro (which I think is well equipped: 2,4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB).

While the installation went smoothless, each startup ends up in a fully black screen.

Not sure where the problem is since not a single error message is shown?

I have invested some 14 USD into the AppStore version and also tried the free-of-charge variant: both having the same problem.

Command-Q ends the app - it did not crash, obviously.

I have run a JAVA update routine, too. Monterey is on latest version, too.

Not sure what to do now - any idea?

Thx in advance for some pointers!

Do you mean that even the menu bar at the top of the screen disappeared too?
Would you have an external monitor plugged to your computer?

By the way, there was no need to update Java, a private copy of it is provided with Sweet Home 3D now (except for Mac OS X versions older than 10.9).
