How To Fix Games Crashing in macOS Ventura
In most cases you have to be patient until the developer releases an update that integrates the specific game with the new macOS Ventura arhitecture.
Nevertheless, there are a few tips that you can apply:
1. Free Up Resources
Most, often games quit unexpectedly on Mac when there’s not enough memory available. Games that aren’t updated for macOS Ventura don’t seem to manage memory good enough.
You can help prevent these crashes by quitting other resource intensive software on your Mac while gaming. For example you should quit apps like Photoshop and even the Unity game engine. (Thanks StillSpaceToast for the tip.)
2. Reinstall Game
Some games will stop crashing if you delete and reinstall. However, if you save the game, quit and attempt to return it will crash again.
Civilization VI is unplayable in macOS Ventura until a patch is released.
