BridgeOS Crashes Happening on 2018 MacBook Pro with TouchBar

I can confirm that the Bridge OS crashes happen with just the power cord plugged in. It happened to me overnight. I put the computer to sleep with nothing but the cord attached and woke up to the Apple logo and message that my Mac restarted due to a problem. The logs show the same Bridge OS 2.4.1 bug type 210 crash.

Note that it took 6 days for this to happen. Previously, I had 5 crashes in the first 7 days of ownership. For those first 7 days, I kept my Thunderbolt 3->2 adapter plugged in during sleep.

@RickDaniel, are you letting the lid opened when not using it for longer period of times ? In my case, it only crashes after leaving it opened. If I close it, it wakes up just fine after opening it. Again, may be a coincidence.

The good thing about this thread is that we try to find a reproducible pattern. The discussion is very positive in that regard.

My new MacBook Pro 13 inch 2018 is rebooting once every ~5 to 10 minutes, with the crash report stating that the issue is Bridge OS. Since I received it two days ago the laptop must have crashed over 100 times already.

Unbelievable for a >2000 euro laptop!

My advice to anyone looking to purchase a new MacBook Pro 2018 version, hold off for a bit if you're dependent on it for your work, since this machine is too unreliable.

I will try to get mine replaced with Apple asap and hope for the best with a new one. Seems like there are no real solutions available even after months of Apple being aware of the issue, with no clear expectations of when to expect a solution.

Good luck to everyone else dealing with these issues!

I've had my machine (15" i9) for about a week and i've experienced 4 crashes. For the moment, the pattern here is that I closed the lid while charging. A few seconds, the fans spin up full blast. Opening the machine again reveals it is starting up again. Logs show BridgeOS causing a full panic and global reset. Rest of the info too cryptic to make any sense out of...

Called Apple support - very friendly, but the person I spoke to doesn't seem to have heard of the problem and didn't seem very interested in what the console or the crash logs showed. Recommended the same as above (NVRAM/SMC reset, backup + reinstall) but i've little faith this will solve much, if anything... It'd be nice to get an acknowledgement from Apple that it is being looked at/worked on.

Most of the people do not care about the real reason. But they just want to find the solution against this annoying crash.
By the way, I enabled "Switching graphical adapter" - no crashing

I suspect that (at least in my case) the Bridge OS crash was caused by features "Going computer sleep when display is off" and "Put hard disk to sleep".

Hello GrumFromOz, It will be helpful for you to read below site which is posted by me a few days ago. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/apple-t2-chip-may-be-causing-imac-pro-ma cbook-problems/.
I got a customized MBP Touch ID model recently and secure enclave(T2) was enabled as default setting. I didn't change the setting even though I got Bridge OS issue. In fact, It was working for several days since I bought. But, Nobody in AppleStore or customer support told me about workaround even if there is. Hopefully, It might work well when someone did not use the feature. Also a patch is available except power-nap. I don't know I can get it via AppStore or not. Maybe not. I don't recommend anyone to buy this yet if they want to keep working smoothly or really want to use MBP securely with secure enclave. Touch ID is not for initial login.

macbook pro 2018 13 also has this bug；

It has now happened two more times, so it was not the drained battery's fault.

It's still only overnight / while the laptop lid is closed, however it's definitely a problem.

Since my last 2018 MBP started this way and eventually got to the point where it crashed 4 times a day, I called support right away this time.

Support recommended I start with a reinstall of the operating system to see if that fixes it; if not, then to do a complete wipe of all data and start from scratch. I'll do the baseline reinstall at some point and see if that fixes the issue.

Hi jttaggart,

Thank you very much for the information. I can understand how you feel. If I were you I cannot accept for the condition. I will refund immediately. There is a return policy. And it's within 14 days.

I am also having this issue with my MBP 2018 with High Sierra 10.13.6. It has crashed multiple times when trying to install some applications. It happens intermittently and for no reason. I haven't had any issues with the power nap or when going to sleep as reported in other posts. I took it to the Apple store and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I left screenshots of the crash reports on the desktop but it looks like no one looked at them.

Here is some of the output of today's crash:

Apple Support has me doing a full disk erase and OS install. I could do this because I had not yet migrated my old machine over to the new one. They will call me back once I have done this.

Are you running the latest build of High Sierra (including the supplemental update that came out last week?.)

Apple Support call/rep has just updated Engineering with this information.

Checking in. I haven't had a reset in 10 days after doing a clean rebuild. I am not doing anything differently, but so far so good.

New Mac? Contact Apple support directly.

I have MBP 2018 i9/32/500G. I got the same bug_type 210 as yours. But panicString and macOSPanicString appear different.
