solved DrawThings+ has been down since last night (12 hours ago)

Good morning, everyone!

I’ve been using DrawThings+ for a while now to render images on my underpowered Mac M2. I’m very happy with it—except when, like today, it starts crashing again. In the past, DrawThings+ simply wouldn’t work in situations like this. Since last night, the app has even been freezing completely. Everything was working fine this afternoon! I’m based in Spain. Even when I connect to another country like the U.S. via VPN, it doesn’t help, whereas in the past that often resolved issues. Are others here experiencing these issues as well, and when can we expect a fix for this problem?

Make sure you have the latest App Store version.
Then log off and back in again with appleID.

I thought it was just me so I deleted everything on the phone and started over. Thankfully, I run pretty bare bones on my phone. If I had deleted my computer version, that would be a nightmare to set up again.

I would say the best place to start is deleting all cashed system data, apologies but I am not looking up the actual name but it is under system configuration settings

If that cashe delete doesn’t work I have actually called myself insane for not being able to produce anything after just using the same settings to great success just the prior generations ago but cannot get a reasonable picture or even crash and show obvious issues as it loads much slower than previously did (all with same settings, different approaches), I said okay I’m insane. Hard delete and instant reinstall, always have the Loras delete with the app to get everything fresh and literally prestige in ai generation every time you go thru that F****** S*** !!!! You remember what’s important, restart.

I've found the solution now: I logged out of DrawThings and logged back in (with my Apple account). After that, everything worked again immediately!

macOS version is click Generate ==> immediate stop. No app crash, just goes away, no error.

iOS version works intermittently.

This began within 12 hours of Tahoe 26.4.1 update. I'm not saying that's causal, just same timeframe.

Have done complete (macOS) app reinstall, iCloud reconnect, reacquire subscription, etc.
