Rekordbox 6 wont start up.

Hi all, I ran the security updates for Catalina, but now RB5 and RB6 wont start up. There was a post on the Facebook group with regards to changing OpenGL "https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203067869--SOLVED-REKORDBOX-3-2-Crashing-all-the-time-Even-when-I-deleted-all-and-Install-it-again-" which has managed to get RB5 going but extremely glitchy on the waveform. I'm running MacBook Pro 2012 500SSD 8GB RAM which has been running stable for years until this update. How can I get RB5 & RB6 running properly again?

There is an OpenGL issue in the recent Catalina update is being tracked by our engineers, and they've provided a work-around until they're able to patch the issue on our end:

Open the Finder, from the menu at the top of the screen, click Go > Go to Folder... and copy/paste this into the box:

~/Library/Application Support/Pioneer/

Find the rekordbox3.settings file and right-click > Open With > TextEdit (if TextEdit isn't on the list, click Other then find it on the list and click Open).
Before you do anything, open the TextEdit preferences and uncheck the Smart quotes preference at the lower left, then close the preferences.

Find the following string: BasicOpenGL

You'll see this line highlighted:

<VALUE name="BasicOpenGL" val="0"/>

Change the 0 to 1. 

Save the file and close TextEdit, then try launching rekordbox again.
