Vanilla Cities: Skylines, current version, basic settings, no mods, expansions etc. Neither have I changed any graphics options on my Mac nor have I changed anything in the game as the problem occurred. Online in many sources it is reported the game would rune smoothly. Maybe interesting for any developers like using Apple M1 Macs don't seem to have this problem. Other graphic modes with our without v-sync didn't help. Only the combination of bothwas stoping the screen freeze as well as the black frame flickering. Then, I enabled v-sync (I disabled it before when troubleshooting).In steam launcher, I changed the graphics mode to -force-opengl like described in the ' Mac Troubleshooting Guide - Cities Skylines' in a steam forum (can't post a link here just google it).How to fix graphic output freezing / screen freezing on Mac mini M1 when changing the camera angle in Cities: Skylines Thanks the meantime, I was able to find a solution! So I'm posting it here in case others are running into the same problem.

If I do not change the camera-angle the game runs without freezing the screen. Apart from that, the Mac + the monitor are running fine for weeks now.Ĭan you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.Ĭhanging the camera-angle forces the graphic output freezing occasionally. The screen freezing problem never appeared yet and seems to be only appearing in Cities: Skylines while changing the camera-angle. Monitor: LG 4k 32UK550/UL500 Resolution 3840x2160/60Hz connected with HDMI Computer: Mac mini (M1, 2020) with Apple M1 chip + 16gb ram changed screen resolution (scaling the ui) in macOS settings forcing the game to use Metal Engine (-force-gfx-metal in steam launch-options) changing all the graphics settings (from low to high, trying different resolutions) If I restart the monitor or un- and replug the HDMI-cable, the graphic output is no more frozen. The monitor itself seems not to be the issue as I can access the monitor's menu without any problems. In the background everything is running fine. Not just the game's but of the whole computer's graphic output is frozen. Occasionally, while changing the camera-angle by clicking the scroll-wheel or using keyboard, the graphic output freezes. I'd guess about every 4 to 20 seconds at irregular intervals. While playing Cities Skylines (no mods, no expansion, freshly installed 2 hours ago) the screen is flickering. Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible. What expansions do you have installed? None. Describe your issue: Graphics Issues - Screen freezing on camera angle change
