[2023] Game always freezes 10 minutes in on MacBook Air

Moved to Tech Support  

Has it always been the case? Or it used to be okay in this respect up to some point?

Any mods involved?

Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)
1/ before starting the game up and
2/ after say 10 minutes' play.

I use Macs Fan Control for this purpose, but there are other such utilities of course.

That is WAY too hot, and almost certainly the cause of your problem.

In the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, cap refresh rate at 60.

If that doesn't help still, what fps are you getting in the game before it hangs? It should not go above 60.  

Is it still at those temperatures? If so, I'm afraid you probably have a hardware problem at this point, it should definitely NOT be overheating at 10 fps!

Note that the MacBook Air is strictly speaking not supported hardware for this game: if an older one it only has an Intel video system, if a newer one M1/M2. The published minimums are:

• Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-7820HQ
• Memory: 12 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD® Radeon™ PRO 560 (4 GB)
