@jordyndda It sounds like you already did almost everything that would be recommended. But it might be worth running the Origin reset tool and disabling Origin in-game, if you haven't already. And it's a good idea delete or move your TS4 game folder before each troubleshooting step, just to keep things simple.

Someone with more expertise than I have will probably have more ideas when she shows up; in the meantime, it would be helpful to know the specs of your mac, as described in the following post. Please also list the packs you have installed.

I can try resetting Origin. I reset it a few days before this issue started in my game so I'm not sure if that will work.

@jordyndda Do you really only have 4 GB RAM installed? From your other specs, I'd expect it to have shipped with 8 GB. That may be exactly the problem, though. TS4 is not my area of expertise, but from your specs, I would suspect that your computer is running out of memory. You have only 4 GB RAM installed, and High Sierra could be taking almost 3 GB of that. TS4 is easier to run on weaker hardware than its immediate predecessor, but a little over 1 GB of available memory isn't nearly enough for the game to maneuver, especially in CAS.

An interesting thought. My computer is one of the older models that did ship with 4GB RAM. I might have to look into this a bit more. It's run for quite some time without an issue with High Sierra installed, but maybe it has come to that point.
