fc.cadoni Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 FM23 can be run in M2 MacBook Air, minimum is M1 as showing in Steam. I can't find a reason that FM23 cannot be played in M2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Minimum Spec is M1 M2 is a marginal upgrade, but better than M1. So it should be good given M1 is minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be indeed. If you bought in 2020 you may have a MacBook with an Intel chip. In 2021 and 2022 Apple have started including their own chips, rather than intels, in their MacBooks. These were called M1 and M2 chips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wondered what they were after hearing about them first a few weeks ago, thanks for pointing out. Hope FM don’t start only releasing on the M1 or M2 anytime soon otherwise a new laptop would have to be purchased😬 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishFM Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I have a MacBook Air with an M1 chip and FM23 works perfectly. I initially had the download issue you had but I closed everything down, gave it an hour and went back then clicked download. Works perfectly. I will point out though my OS is version 12.6 though.

Only realised after I’d installed it via steam that it won’t run. Absolutely gutted my Mac plays Fm22 no problem and my database size is well over 120,000 players when I start the game and I’m into season 4 and still no issues! Confused why we need MACos 11 to run it? Now looking at a cheap gaming laptop so me and my Son can play the game 😩 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What settings can you run the match engine on, and how many leagues/what size database can you run comfortably? Thanks! Hi. Well, things have changed a little. I've had the Macbook Air M2 for a month now. It played FM22 with no problems - and it started to play FM23 with no problems. Then after a couple of days it started getting hot when the 3D match engine was in use. That was with everything on High. As a result I dropped everything to medium but the graphics quality and its running fine again now. It warms up a little but nothing that I'm worried about. The current database is large with around 130k players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
