Elder Scrolls Online and Sonoma

After updating to Sonoma on My MacBook Pro M1, the system keeps crashing as it loads the Game, any ideas?, on the previous OS it had to have a display screen resized to work.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

So I tried to get the game running by doing a full reinstall. The game said i did not have room on my hard drive. I had freed up 382GB and it said i did not have room. Contacting Bethesda was useless. They wanted a screenshot of my system specs.


So I went to steam and downloaded the game through steam. I had to purchase the game through steam for it to be a downloadable. It went perfect and the game fired up like a new install. I used my bethesda account and I had all my chars and stuff. No addons.


Minion currently is not running native on Sonoma. Using the java terminal load, I got all my addons loaded. Curious part is they load into my iCloud drive then sync to my hard drive to activate. Even though i have the minion pointed straight to my hard drive.


The FPS on my old M1 Pro was 76. Running through steam on my M3 Pro is 37. It is still playable.


Bethesda does not care about supporting the Mac.


I have played for years on the MacBook pro. Part of the issue is the New Mac M3 support ray tracing and a couple other items that the game can not sense or adjust properly. I have heard of people starting the game and turning off shadows and other special graphics to get the game to run.
