SteelSeries Engine 3 mostly works except key re-binding is broken and if the app is quit from the menu bar, it won't open again unless the Mac has been rebooted. Also every time the SSE GUI is opened, it shows a JavaScript error.

Mostly Working: PCalc 4.7 seems to function OK, but calculator background and calculator key color gradients aren't looking right.
I think there must be some issue in Sur that impacts gradients and color backgrounds. I have an issue with Adobe Audition (which unfortunately is also present in the beta of Audition) where the colors of tracks in my multitracks don't show right half the time. Sometimes it will even take the wav form picture from one track and impose it on another, some of the tracks will just look like static. It all plays and sounds right, but the view is all messed up (which also becomes frustrating trying to do fine audio edits, but that's the price I pay for installing the beta.

I was hoping Beta 2 of Mac Sur would fix it, but it didn't (and Adobe's updates on their betas for Audition haven't fixed the issue either)

Not working:

Every single app from Rogue Amoeba (Airfoil, Audio Hijack, Farrago, Fission, Loopback, Piezo, and SoundSource)

Annoyingly, they do not even let you attempt to use the apps, just greeted with an “OS is unsupported” splash page. At least let me take the risk!
Fission works apart from some graphics glitches.

Yeah they have gotten a few of their apps working since I made this post. At the time, none of them would even launch. Honestly, their user hostile stance on beta users has me wanting to explore alternatives to their software altogether. I spend about 1/4 of the year running a beta. It's frankly inexcusable that they arbitrarily lock me out of their apps during this time period. It is no business of theirs what I break on my own computer.

Final Draft 11 not working. Opens, but segfaults on opening a previous document. This is a film script editing app.

Each person is supposed to edit the head post to include what is or is not working. It is helpful to to add a note if it doesn’t agree with another for example " Parallels Desktop 15 (1,2, t, y not working on keyboard)

Please try to add it alphabetically.
I've found this workaround:
rom the menu bar click Parallels Desktop icon > Preferences > Shortcuts, then select the VM in question and click the plus button to create the corresponding shortcut for the necessary symbol. Repeat for each symbol that cannot be typed.

JFYI

Same. I love that Toolbox, and I was worried when I saw that it didn't work. I hope JetBrains will push a beta maybe so that it works on Big Sur.

They did push EAPs which fixed some early Catalina bugs while it was still in beta, so there is hope.
Hey, do you mean Parallels Toolbox?

That didn't work for me. It looks like it starts to open, then I get a message stating "To complete Parallels Desktop setup, please restart your Mac".

Not really a huge deal for me though I mostly use it with my Bootcamp partition.
Did you try to execute the following:
sudo kextcache --clear-staging

More follow up about Parallels 15.

So Parallels from the Mac App Store opens and works for me, but that doesn't support Boot Camp.
The full version of Parallels Desktop downloaded directly does not work at all for me.
Hey, do you mean native BootCAmp or VM based BootCamp?

Hi. "Cisco Anyconnect 4.8.03036" is listed as "Working", however it is not working for me. I am running Beta 2. I didn't test Beta 1 so not sure when it stopped working or whether it's an issue isolated to my system. Does anyone here has it working?

It installs fine, launches fine, establishes connection fine, but basically there is no internet connectivity while connected and after a minute or two, it pops up this message:

The VPN client agent's DNS component experienced an unexpected error. The VPN connection has been disconnected. Please restart your computer or device, then try again.

thoughts? do we move it to "non-working" area?

Cisco AnyConnect 4.8.03036 works well.

Anything particular you did to get this to work?
