Did you follow the guide from the pinned thread in Discussions?

Hi, thank you - i had missed that, implemented and now working - thank you so much! Apologies for not seeing it earlier :)

FPS is definitely much improved, interestingly the FPS Counter has disappeared now, so not sue what it's running at, but the detail is greatly improved.

Really impressed how the whole game runs on the M1 Macbook, about 1100 assets and various mods - the loading is super quick + gameplay is fantastic :)) thanks again!

Counter and steam overlay in general is a bit problematic since current implementation is designed to fix changes in the loader script (in case you do something incorrectly) but to fix the problem there needs to be appended a path to steam overlay file which I can't detect or validate running from the mod and any mistake in the script could prevent the game from launching (blue screen/red screen anyways, MacOS version of crash screen). I haven't found reliable solution and same as on linux which is: take what was already set and just append what the mod needs doesn't work at all despite both are Unix family OS's
I also don't have any MacOs hardware so I can't experiment so I decided to go with the most reliable way (still a lot of users have problems, despite they seem to follow instructions).

How did you get the game to rub really nice on the M1 Mac. I have an M1 with 32GB and it runs ok, but nothing how I expected.

Hey @BajaBlast2002 - can't say I did anything out of the ordinary, installed from steam, loaded up vanilla to get an idea of how the base game was without any mods and assets, and it was running super well so decided to add a few quality of life mods, including this one, and it's continue to run an absolute dream with those various mods and assets installed.

Are you using a lot of mods and assets? What's your memory like when running the game?

Hi! Im using the standard mods like Move It, Node Controller, Intersection marking, etc. I also don't have many assets downloaded. I did successfully download FPS booster and for a few days it has been running far better but today it decided to show an error and then when I loaded into the game, all my mods were gone. it also shows that it uses 22-24GB RAM.

Check the game log (player.log). I didn't change anything
