I know. Click on "Later" then keep your MT5 open, it will not updated until you restart.
 
Hey Alain, this was not the case for me, if I chose "later" it still launched the latest release when I reopened. 
However, I have found a work around. 

When first launching the older version, a live update folder will appear in the roaming data file, so I set all the files inside to "read only" and I have pinned the exe of the old version to my windows bar, it know does NOT update anymore, so it's a pesky work around but nonetheless functional, good enough for me :D 

MQL, you gotta do something about this all my trader friends are impacted I spent the day doing IT support to teach them how to bypass the update, I love MT but this is very clumsy I must admit.

I do not have much information for Mac sorry ... I found one post about it (auto-translated to the Enflish) - post   - "Try removing the entire package from your computer, downloading an updated version with the new Wine , and installing it again".

Anyway, I think it will be going to be fixed as well.

Thank you!!!

The problem was solved by replacing the files.

Nothing slows down!

The way, to fix that issue on a MAC ist the same as in any other installation

You have to just replace the three binarys. The Problem is, the autoupdate process bring the new binary back in a short time. so you to overwrite them after every restart.... or found a better solution 

 

Very strange.

I have no issues with the February 1st version.

But the same thing happens to another user - it slows down a lot.


I think it's also a system configuration issue. Processor, Memory, Video Card, Windows...

Hi Alain, How I can downgrade to 5430 build on a Mac version? Can you help me out? thanks in advance.
 
The new version is not compatible with other tools like position sizer, you add and the software starts to lag. Kindly make changes.

For Mac or Linux, it's the SAME as for Windows. You need to download the exe files and find on your Mac/Linux system where the original exe files are stored and replace them.
