Then they need to roll back my game before The oct patch. Is the plan to put out another patch before snowy escape to break it more? I already know I’m not gonna be able to play snowy escape. I would agree with you if this was the first week of October but this is way too long now. Every passing day makes it worse.

    Ok, can as many of you as possible please do this:

    Open Terminal and copy and paste the following command then hit Return/Enter:

    kextstat | grep -E -i "(amd|intel|graph)" | awk '{printf "%-50s%-20s\n",$6,$7}'

    Please then copy and paste the results here. This is confirming the driver versions of your AMD GPUs.

    Just a reminder that EA are aware of this so all info you can add will help 🙂
