Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 M1 Pro/Max in full screen mode refresh rate problem

Hi,

I´m playing on a Mac Mini M1 (MacOS Monterey 12.3.1), together with a Samsung LC34J791WTR. Earlier, I have had problems with flickering screen with my computer over all after a Mac-update. I solved it by changing the refresh rate of the screen to 60hz from 100hz.

I havn´t played The Sims 4 for about three weeks and after that, I have both updated to the last version of Monterey and updated The Sims 4. Yesterday, when I started the game, it flickers to a black screen and back, after a while it just shows a white noise for screen and I have to force my Mac to shut down. I have tried everything. The screens refresh rate is still 60hz, I have also tried 50 wich is the lowest. I have tried changing the settingt in The Sims 4 with no change. SInce it´s only a problem playing The Sims 4 I´m guessing it has something to do with the game. I have repaired it to with no luck.

Anyone having the same problem?

Hi again! Just want to say that it works in windows-mode but not in full screen-mode. Talked to Apple about it that recommended me to try it and told me to write it here to ask you about making a patch for the game so it will also work in full mode 🙂

Yep, it's a known issue. Merged into the current thread. Try toggling Vertical Sync as @SimQARobo suggests on page 1.
