I have wondered but there hasn’t been a massive surge of reports which would be expected if it was a real issue affecting all users running Sonoma. If you turn it off like I suggested it should then stay off every time you launch the game in fullscreen. But you need to test this. You should also play for a while, multiple times, in windowed mode (which the game looks and performs much better in IMHO) to see if it still crashes.
I have tested game mode on my M1 Mac and not had any crashing.

@Bluebellflora Hi there, it turns out the issue was playing in fullscreen mode. Thanks for helping me find the culprit! I always play via hdmi cable on a Samsung tv via my MacBook 16” m1. Do you have any idea what setting could make the game playable in fullscreen, or do i just have to play in windowed mode for now? Thanks again!

Oh that's really helpful to know, thank you! Could you test without the external display and see if it happens in fullscreen with game mode on using the in-built display?
What size screen is your TV? When the native silicon version of the game was released Mac mini users with 24” displays had crashing/freezing problems. I wonder if it’s somehow related. @Bluebellflora i will give it a try,
my TV display is 32” LED smart HD TV
