Macbook Pro 16" (2019) cannot be charged while running Unreal Engine 5.0.3

When I launch Unreal Engine 5 and play around with it (like simple mouse drag and zoom, nothing crazy), my Macbook pro is super hot and the fan runs loudly. If I charge it at this time, it jumps between charging mode and not charging mode all the time and no charging is performed.


I have rendered through Blender all night long and it can still be charged at that time. I would like to know if this is the hardware problem or this Macbook model and system can hardly handle Unreal Engine. Thanks.


*My Macbook was repaired around 2 weeks ago and the whole motherboard(?) was replaced.

*No other heavy app is running at the same time, just Chrome.

*Processor: 2.3 GHz 8 Core Intel Core i9

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0

Hello iky_I,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you have some questions about your Mac not charging when using an application, and the fans getting loud. The following link can help explain fan noise: About fans and fan noise in your Apple product - Apple Support


However, as you've just had your Mac repaired, and you're noticing issues with charging, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support: Contact - Official Apple Support
