Mac Studio M2 Ultra, 10 Core GPU, 64GB RAM Crashing during games
I've been running into a brick wall over here that started with the update to MacOS 14.4, and is continuing with 14.4.1. I play a game called No Man's Sky on Steam, and ever since 14.4, the game crashes literally every time I play it with the same graphics settings in-game that I had been playing with just fine up until 14.4.
If I use a setting called Metal FX Temporal, literally every time I play the game (it just depends on for how long, but every time) the game will crash my entire Mac. Before that happens, the video will freeze, and the audio will essentially stutter for a few seconds, the fan goes on full speed, and then my Mac restarts.
I have saved a few of these crash logs, and there are a lot of things in common with the few I have saved. Namely, the following snippets:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffe003221ce5c): GFX SERROR Exception class=0x2f (SError interrupt), IL=1, iss=0 - agx_interrupt(4)
RTKit: RTKit-2419.101.1.release - Client: not set

Time: 0x00000003cd354dd8
Faulting task stack frame:
Wrong frame size for ARMv8. Got 840 bytes, expected 828
This is at the beginning of the report: and then, towards the end, this is the other commonality:

Apple Support over the phone is great at less technical things, but I feel this will just get lost. I would love to know if anyone else is having this problem, or what some experts think! Thanks.
Mac Studio, macOS 14.4
