I'm sure it's not the fault of the game, but this straight-up crashed my machine after about a minute of play. Screen froze, everything went unresponsive for a couple seconds, then I got about half a second of a pure magenta screen, and my machine rebooted. M1 Pro Macbook Pro, Sonoma 14.4.1, Firefox 125.0.1.

That's an Apple hardware classic. Sorry to report that your GPU might be shot. (Hopefully it was just a one-time fault, though.)

Nah probably buggy Mac OpenGL drivers

It would be a shame, just a tragedy, if this machine suffered catastrophic hardware failure with 3 months left on my AppleCare contract :)

Oh no! How will you ever recover? /s

I'm on a 14" M1 Max from 12/2021 and my AC+ expires in 2025. I'm pretty sure you can buy it right before your warranty expires to extend it. But maybe you bought 1 year of AC+ and can't extend it after?

This was my first AC+ purchase.

Also my battery has been at 79% Service Battery health for about a year. I forgot to use AlDente to limit the battery to 80% but do it now and it hasn't gone down.

edit: Jesus I just realized 2025 is next year. Totally thought I had like 3 years left.. nevermind..

Doesn't seem like the crash is repeating itself. Now it is running fine. The first time through, it died right after I was told to open the door but right before the door became openable.
