Ventura 13.3 broke my screensaver--

NEVER had this issue before update to 13.3

Same issue as everyone else with duel monitor, right screen shows photos, left screen eventually shows "NO PHOTOS"

Anymore every update is wack a mole, fix one issue, 3 new ones show up... what happened to Apple?????

I'm using the Fliqlo screensaver and my LG 24" Ultrafine display set as main screen.

I had set the screensaver to show on both displays. Now it only shows on the built in display, I guess at the size it wants to show it on the larger display?

Prior to this update, it had been showing on both displays just fine.

When using the Mac alone, the screensaver appears just fine.

I hope that all of us experiencing this (I am too - using a Mac Studio I either get no photos on the screensaver, or only on one of my 3 monitors - since updating to Ventura 13.3) have reported it to Apple so they can sort it with the next update.

Same issue. Updated to 13.3 and now my screensaver doesn't work properly, just as described by others. If I unplug my two external monitors it works just fine. Once I plug in both external monitors it only works on the last plugged in display. Ugh.

I'm having a similar problem. I have a 3-monitor 27" iMac 2020. Electric sheep screensaver used to play on all three. After updating to 13.3, the monitors all go blank and the screensaver never plays.

Yesterday my screensaver worked as expected. Only once. It only worked normally this one time since the Ventura update.

Earlier and later in the day, it had the shown the previously mentioned malfunction. It was not after a boot or in safe mode.

I haven't found a way to make a screensaver work as expected since this Ventura update.

No response, so far. Today I tried physically switching my iMac and external monitor, and that did not help. However, after I had switched everything back with a little help from BetterDisplay, the screensaver worked on both, once, after the initial startup. Second attempt was back to the "No Photos" on the iMac. Screensaver setting shows only the iMac, whereas the Displays Setting shows both. Looking forward to 13.4.

Having a similar issue. I have Brooklyn installed as my screen saver. It still displays, but is now in the corner and half cropped. I am using 2 external monitors on a Studio (One with Type C, one with HDMI) one of which has a vertical orientation. I have tried removing and installing Brooklyn again but issue persists. Hoping this gets patched or a solution posted.

Same issue. Screen saver does not show on the built-in display on my MacBook Pro (2019) and on only 1 of my external monitors. Multiple monitors show in the Wallpaper settings, only 1 monitor shows in the Screen Saver settings. Interesting, it appears the monitor in Screen Saver settings is the built-in monitor and not the external monitor.

Same issue for me. I have a Studio display as my main monitor. No photos on the main, but they do show up on the secondary monitor (LED Cinema) I did the Studio display firmware update the day after updating to Ventura 13.3. Unfortunately, I didn't notice if the screensaver stopped showing on the main display before or after the firmware update...

Same here. Still broken. I previously filed a bug report...

I tried creating a test folder of a couple of images. The screen saver will randomly show up on both screens if I click on Preview, but it more often than not says "No Photos"

After updating to Ventura 13.3.1 (22E261) today, my screensaver photos also will no longer play on my external Apple LED cinema display. Only a black screen with the words 'no photos'. The apple generic screensavers like Ventura, Monterey and hello do still work, but not my screensaver photos selected from in my Pictures folder. The screensaver photos still show just fine on my 2019 MacBook Pro.

Yep, that seems to be the pattern i'm seeing. However I have noticed since 13.3.1, its actually better than 13.3? On 13.3 9/10 times it was broken, but 13.3.1 feels more like 60/40 Broken/working (not that I am really paying that much attention or keeping track)

interestingly if I wait long enough the screen saver eventually appears on both displays. Not sure how long that is and I only caught this behavior a couple of times.

I reported the bug, thanks to rotorblades for posting the link. I hope there are a thousand bug reports on this. Apple needs to know that they are getting really sloppy with their software releases.

Ever since Steve Jobs passed, Apple has gone downhill. If he was still here Apple would be in a much better place than now!

I have the same screensaver issue and it is amazing that they don't have better quality control and testing in place.

They used to have the stock screensavers with predefined photos and then they just take it away in Monterey with no explanation! They add useless features and take away ones that people liked.
