I am running the game on a new (2022) MacBook Air with Sonoma and Apple M2 chip. Never had an issue with crashing, but after this update and the Astral Planes DLC, I get to exactly 1.1.2250 and the game hard crashes to desktop -- no error message or anything, just hard crash to the desktop. I have tried to start 3 new games and this happens every single time, which makes the game unplayable. Seems like others are having this same issue? Is there a fix?

We are seeing crashes on Macs since the recent patch. Sorry about that!

Please make a new thread in Bug Reports, and attach there a save file that shows this problem.

There are numerous threads on the bug reports forum. This seems to be affecting everyone playing on Mac. When can we expect a fix? This is ridiculous.

I'm sorry, I have no insight into or contact with the QA and dev team for this (or any) game, so I cannot address that question. I'm just an external support contractor.

Same thing for me - started crashing after 2240-01-01. Definitely a Mac issue (M1 14” MBP). I saved to cloud and launched from GeForce Now without issues. Whenever I try to load game on Mac after playing on GFN, it crashes again.

same thing for me. I have a brand new MAC and stellaris ran well up until the latest update that went in this week. now it crashes consistently around the 2230 - 2250 time period. :(

What’s even more annoying is that about 30% of the time I can’t even load the game on GFN. I can’t load the saved game because I have some DLCs missing. I have to restart a few times to get it to work.

Super frustrating - I want to play the game on my Mac locally. I don't get any benefit from 4080 on the cloud and game load times are terrible compared to the Mac. Having to do it multiple times just to see the saved game fail to load is only making it worse.

Oh, I tried the beta version of the patch that’s supposed to get released this week - still crashes on the Mac.

The 3.10.1 update did nothing to fix this issue on Mac. When can we expect a fix? The game is completely unplayable and this seems to be affecting everyone playing on Mac.

I am sorry but I have no ability to get the answer to that question - I'm just an external support contractor, I have no access to QA or the developers.

All I know is that this is a known issue, was attempted to be fixed in the previous hotfix (but they know that attempt did not succeed) and has attention from management.
