Will there be an update

Hello,

New member, and starting right off with a serious question.

Will there be an update for the new Sonoma OSX?
Recently, be bought a new computer, also bought a serial for the (still best) Marine Aquarium screensaver.
In Big Sur, it worked beautiful.
Full aquarium, beautiful fish.

After the update to Sonoma, it works once or twice.
After that, it get blocky, and stuttery and slooooow.
LegacyScreenSaver-x86_64 is on, once it peaked at 115%

Only way to make it work again, is to force quit LegacyScreenSaver-x86_64.
Then it works again once or twice before the same problem occurs.

Is this solvable? Just a bug you're working on?

It would be nice if Apple would stop breaking everything with every OS release.

I haven't moved to Sonoma yet, might delay hearing that.

I've found MA usually starts working after Apple have done an update or two to the latest OS.

Yeah!
Sonoma really messed me up: not getting text tones and notifications, and they even got rid of some ringtones.
I've had SS Aquarium since its early days, and I love it; I won't give it up.
Apple is aware of the problem, and the list goes on.
We're all waiting for the updates.
Let's hope it fixes a jerky movement with the fishes.
They don't like being treated that way!

How do you know that Apple is aware of the problem?

FWIW, it is my understanding that Sonoma is one of those "broke everything" updates so maybe this will get fixed when some bigger issues are addressed.

Because they told me - not in relation to Serene Screen but in all bugs in Sonoma reported by the reports of other people.
I wasn't the only person in the world that had trouble with Sonoma!
