Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I am experiencing very poor graphics performance on an Apple M1 Max. I was led to believe by the AMA on Reddit that performance would be a lot better due to the implementation of Vulkan / MoltenVK. I am finding the performance of Victoria 3 no better than Crusader Kings 3 (this does not currently have Vulkan / MoltenVK support).

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Start a game and pan the map.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?


I have attached a save game

Same issues with the M1 Max 32 Core GPU.

To give it some context. macOS 13 Ventura, 50% render resolution (of the native 19:10 resolution), everything low.

Can't hit 50FPS and the game looks absolutely awful at that resolution. That GPU should have no problem running it natively.
