This was posted by Frederik Slijkerman on the UF forum a couple of days ago. Some of you Mac owners may find it interesting and can possibly help by testing this beta:


"Hi everyone,
The last year I've been hard at work to update Ultra Fractal to run natively on the new Apple Silicon Macs. That was not an easy task because the internal formula compiler outputs JIT-compiled native code so it needed to be partially rewritten specially for the new ARM processors. I'm very happy to announce that it's ready for a public beta test now! If you own an Apple Silicon Mac, please download and try this version, and let me know (here or via email) about any problems."

To get the download link for the beta and/or add to the discussion please visit the forum here:

Ultra Fractal 6.05 has been released today. This is a free update for Ultra Fractal 6. It contains bug fixes and small improvements and is a recommended update for all Ultra Fractal 6 users.


You can view the list of updates as well as a link to download the v6.05 installer on the Ultra Fractal website here: https://www.ultrafractal.com/kb/uf605.html


July 10th update:

Frederik has fixed another couple of issues with the v6.05 update. If these affect you there is a fresh installer you can download...

Frederik: "Just a quick update: there were a few problems with the 6.05 update and I've fixed these with a new 6.05 version, available for download now. You can recognize this version after installation by the July 9, 2022 build date in the About dialog. Changes in this version:

Fixed problem that caused the Randomize Custom dialog for gradient colors to come up with incorrect settings on Windows.

Fixed a bug that could cause crashes on Mac when using the Mac's full screen mode (via the green button in the title bar).

If you encounter one of these problems, you can download the latest version instead."

Jan 24th update: The Opensea account referred to below, and several others, have now been closed down or are empty. All thanks to group efforts here on DA to publicise the perpetrators and artists reporting their stolen works. Good work people! :ladummyhighfive:

First of all a thank you to Deviant Art for promptly discovering some of my works up for sale as NFTs on Opensea, all a bit of a joke as they still bear my watermark and DA URL on them. Like anybody would want to buy them in that condition! Anyway, the person in question has obviously been raiding fractal artwork from Deviant Art, they have minted and are auctioning off 338 works so far. I recognised a few works by aartika-fractal-art ChaosFissure and GrannyOgg. There are many other works up for sale, no doubt without the artists' knowledge or permission - unless you are a Core member you won't be alerted to older works appearing on these NFT sites. It is a very simple matter to report them, though, using the online form on the site. If you are concerned by this check out the thief here: https://opensea.io/collection/arf-collection

Update: The take down request form is here, it doesn't take long to fill in: https://airtable.com/shrgFP1znwxhxWjrt

Just to let you all know that Frederik has released an update to Ultra Fractal today.


Version 6.04 primarily addresses a number of bugs/problems that Mac users have been experiencing. I do hope this helps you guys!


Here is the text of Frederik's announcement on the UF forum:


I'm happy to announce the release of Ultra Fractal 6.04. This free update for existing version 6 users fixes several issues on Windows and Mac, especially when running on macOS 11 (Big Sur). You can download it here: https://www.ultrafractal.com/download/
Just let me know if you experience any problems with the update.
Note: because these downloads are new, Windows 10 might flag them as an uncommon download. In this case, click the "More info" link in the dialog that appears when trying to install. Verify that the publisher is Phreakware (my company) and click "Run anyway" to install.
