[FM23 on Mac]

Yeah please don't put your laptop on an icepack. Use a cooling pad from a reputable brand. You could try turning the crowd off completely as well, will make a difference. 

Do you happen to know the best cooling pad for a MacBook Pro 16"? Most of the ones I've looked at on Amazon look like trash.

Any updates from SI regarding the graphics issues? I feel like the issue could be with the compatibility between Fm23 and Ventura?

I am currently trying to run FM23 on an i9 8-core with 32gb ram and AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB running the latest version of Ventura and the game runs fine (and quick) for about 5 mins, then really slows down and needs to be restarted. Some of the 3D match engine highlights run fine, while others are jumpy and slow. I am running the game in windowed mode, with medium graphics, except for shadows are set to low.

UPDATE: So I have played around a little and I have got the game to work smoothly. I have the crowd on low, shadows off and I have my laptop sitting on an icepack with a tea towel wrapped around it and there are no issues. The GPU temperature in celsius is sitting at around 70 - 90 degrees. I also notice a significant performance difference with Safari (and other Apps) closed. 

I have 34 leagues running with a database of 65,000 players.

[FM23 Performance Issues on MacBook Pro]

I've got an i9 8-core (latest intel model) with an AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB graphics card running Ventura, and the 3D match engine is unplayable. The game says I have only 1 of 5 stars for graphic performance.

Is the issue with Ventura, not the computer? When will SI release an update to fix?

Anyone from sports interactive monitor these posts and have thoughts on why this might be happening? The game is basically unplayable when you get up to the 3D match.

The game says that I can't play the 3D graphics and shows 1 out of 5 stars. When it goes to the match, the game is in 2D mode and when I switch to 3D theme stops.

I've included specs of the computer and the battery switch was already toggled to not allow battery to change graphics.

the computer is:

2.4 Ghz 8-Core Intel Core i9
AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

running

Ventura 13.0.1

So FM23 is telling me that I can't play the 3D match engine on my MacBook Pro I9 with the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB graphics card. It's actually a more powerful graphics card that the one that ships standard in the i7 models. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

I just paid $95 AU for the game, so not really happy. I didn't have issues with FM22 (or any of the other older versions).

[In Game Editor Not showing up]

I am having the same issue on a Mac computer. I have purchased the Fm2020 editor and it DOES NOT WORK. i also cannot access the downloads tab on the home screen as it says that the Steam in game purchases isn't activated. i have checked the preferences in steam and they are selected so there seems to be an issue between the game and steam syncing with each others preferences. Has this been resolved yet?

I have attached screen grabs of the version of steam i have as well as proof that the box is checked in steam. I would like one of the page admins to look into this for me otherwise i will return the game citing Australian consumer law's sale of a defunct product to ensure i get a full refund.

I honestly couldn't tell you mate, I've got players improving rapidly left, right and centre. Alberto Paloschi's strength and finishing amongst other attributes have gone up by 3 and I'm only into November!

I've always said throughout my 06, 07 and 08 training that if it doesn't work then don't use it! I don't want to ruin your save games, honest! There's other training schedules coming through all the time and it's not hard to make your own ones up if you apply yourself. It's like the tactics on here, if you prefer to download others then you're never going to get a perfect one for your team first time. I know that a lot of people see improvements with the schedules and i have full sympathy for those that don't... but there's no point battling on with it if you know it's not working. If you started losing games non-stop you'd change your team or tactics at least

Some new screenshots for you all, this is with 4/5* coaches and Spurs' default training facilities...

hey tug you don't think this could be a mac/pc issue do you? i can't possible see how it'd make a difference but my players seriously don't improve and when i opened up the editor and saw what their rating should be 4 years on i was really surprised to see that they haven't improved at all? really strange.

[Tug's Training 2009]

i've been using this training schedule for 2 seasons and my players all under the age of 24 don't improve, i've got balotelli, kuzmanovic, saviet, gourcuff, noble, monnet-paquet, gary cahill, armand traore as well as 7 star coaches with light schedules. what's going on? why isn't it working?
