App keeps crashing

I know MacBooks are not known for gaming, but was curious to know if anyone here in the community has ever tried it. I have one and only one game on my $2,700 system, and it is rocket league. This is not that intensive of a game, but for some reason it keeps crashing. I have already uninstalled, and reinstalled the game. Did nothing.

I have reported this issue to apple every-time it crashed, but they will not give me any feedback on what is causing the issue. I am not sure if it is an overheating issue or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! It is hard to believe that a $500 gaming system outperforms this mac in every gaming situation.

I have attached a google doc link to the crash report in case if anyone is interested to try to interpret:

I have solved the issue!

Heres what I did: I clicked the apple logo in the upper right hand corner, went down to shut down, and shut the mac down. I unplugged the mac and threw it out the window. I then went to pcpartpicker.com and built a beautiful, fast running pc for less than $1,500. Took me less than 2 hours to build it. Plugged it back into the same outlet that the MAC was plugged into.

Runs perfectly! Runs games so much faster, and surprisingly, runs all of the Adobe Creative cloud apps faster than my mac ever could.

Perfect solution!

The log you posted shows that, internal to the game itself, it encountered a segmentation fault, a reference to addresses it did not own.

The system information you posted separately indicates you may be running Mojave, Apple's latest system, which includes the newly revamped graphics subsystem based on Metal-2 rather than the High Sierra system, which used the more mundane OpenCL graphics.

If this is the exact version of game you wanted to play, your solution is perfect.

By all means, do NOT contact the game maker and ask them about it.

Great. Sounds like a good solution for you. Glad you got your game working. I guess it is true what they say about using the right tool for the job.

Oh, and if you happen to live on the first floor, I would be happy to take that no-good Macintosh Pro off your hands.
