You may still have been using OpenGL for graphics, and are now using Metal.

I haven't change any settings when I updated VirtualDj. The settings is on for Metal. Does the update changes that? Is Metal preferred for Macbook pro dual graphic for best performance?

Answering my own question : Vers b6747 overwrite user setting on "use Metal"

OpenGL was deprecated by Apple with 10.14 I believe.
Since 10.15.7 it actually got broken completely on some older macs causing virtualdj to not be able to start up at all, which is why the default was reset to use metal.

Thanks for the technical answer. I have updated all my shaders and everything works perfect.
