@Bluebellflora hi again, I'm not confused. Force quit is not a solution. It's a bandaid and should not be used as a regular fix. When something does go wrong with your machine, you learn about these things the hard way. It's time consuming and frustrating to fix.
The better fix is to revert back to Monterey until EA games gets their crap together on this. Now it's probably not as big of a deal if you play a lot less. A few times here and there is not as big of a deal. But there is most definitely the chance of corruptions not just in the game itself.
You just need to be prepared in case something corrupts. This is an every day thing for me here... it's not just b/c of this issue. Backup often and duplicate your backups on a second drive in case the other fails.
If anyone does want to take the safer route, contact Apple support and ask for help if you need it. They can help you get back to Monterey if you want.
