Constant crashes on Mac

Description

The game will Semi-randomly crash or disconnect and needs to be relaunched.

Reproduction

open launcher on Mac OS Sonoma, enter server, wait. It may be tied to high performance things such as large explosions or high player counts but I am not completely sure.

Screenshots

I don’t believe screen shots are applicable as no error message is show. The game window simply closes and a Mac crash warning pops up.

Additional context

crashes happen on average once or twice per shift. Sometimes accompanied by high laptop fan usage. I have used methods to improve airflow to see if it was simply my computer but that didn’t help. I have tried enabling the stability option in the launcher but that prevents the game from opening completely.

I am not an experienced programmer and don’t know how to troubleshoot this issue.

computer details:
macOS Sonoma 14.5
M1 chip
8 GB memory

Same problem

Hi, I understand there’s a lot of other bugs and general maintenance work to do, but at least an acknowledgment that this post was seen and/or is being worked on would be nice.

i have also been having this problem, been going on since i started playing, sometimes it’ll happen twice and often it’ll occur more than four times in a shift

This is already known and will probably not be fixed soon due to the complexity, sorry.

ah dang. well thanks for the response regardless.

hey has there been any progress on this? just asking because its been several months and nothing appears to have been done regarding this

No sorry.

Macos is an incredibly tricky os (which is also why not made games release on it). I personally have a hunch but to even explore my hunch a huge part of the codebase needs redoing which I don’t know when will be done.
