[2.0.7] Frequent FPS slowdowns during gameplay (Apple Silicon)

[Oleg_7777776]

Any update on this issue @vinzenz @posila?

(Is there another way to tag users or maybe I just don't have permissions to do so? In the preview it doesn't look like it's tagging.)

I asked the same question in private messages, with no result yet(((I’m studying how to install Windows on a mac book, I don’t see any other ways yet

Any updates on the issue? Mac users unite or we are screwed as always.

Hey there, we're aware of this thread, but so far we haven't found a good way to replicate these slowdowns on our Apple hardware. So it seems like there's no easy fix we can implement for now. The team is also focusing on crashes and bugs at the moment, performance improvements will come later.

Understood that crashes and bugs take priority. That's interesting though that you're having a hard time replicating it, given that it usually happens to me within 5 minutes or so of playing on my M2 Pro when it's hooked up to an external monitor. I'm happy to help with a repro in whatever way I can, please let me know when the opportunity arises!

Just adding my two cents here. Long time Mac player on a 14-inch 2023 M2 Pro MacBook Pro (model A2779). I'm getting unplayable stuttering after 5 or so minutes, even in the barebones scenario/tutorial maps. I have friends who have also encountered the same behavior. Before this DLC, I never experienced any technical issues with Factorio at all, it was a prime example of efficient game development!
