Topic: RME FIREFACE 400 and Mac OS High Sierra --> Future or NOT????

Today I have the problem of installing a driver for my sound card RME Fireface 400 on my laptop with mac os high sierra 10.13.4
I had the same problem when installing plug-ins from other developers

error message of my mac os high sierra "RME Fireface driver is not optimized for your mac. This app needs to be updated by its developer to improve compatibility"

i found this article on apple website
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436

as I understand, the Apple completely refuses from 32bit app's and in the future they will just stop working.
Fireface 400 last drivers now work in 32 bit mode

!!! The question is rather to the RME manufacturer - will there be completely 64 bit drivers for RME FIREFACE 400 and will the support of this card be in the new operating system mac os high sierra?

You seem to have misunderstood everything. The driver works in 64 bit mode. Apple warns that the Settings dialog app (and only this) will no longer work in future OS versions. It works right now.

And I answered your question several times in this forum already.
