Hi, I have a Macbook air, 2015, Monterey, with 8 gb, 2 ghz (I7): Pillars of eternity is not potent as my computer, hoever, the fan is too higher! Why? Thank you!

I don't know much about Macs, but I would make sure all drivers are up to date. I know on a different game I had fan/heat issues until I properly upgraded my Nvidia GPU drivers to the latest version. I wish I could help more, but that's all I can think of.

Thank you very much for your help. Well, on Mac exist no drivers, so it is impossible to change them. Any other idea, guys, for you?

Contrary to what it seems, Pillars is pretty heavy on the CPU (not so much on the GPU). I had the same problem on a Core i5 laptop where the fan would start going crazy and still it would get super hot.

On a macbook air I had the same problem with Wasteland 2, but managed to limit the framerate to 30 doing some magic with the options and that kept it cooler. I don't know if it's possible to do that on Pillars of Eternity though.

Short version: the game is too heavy on the CPU and the fan can't keep up cooling the CPU.

Thank you, jonridan. I was able to play with PoE on my very old Mac (2009, with a core 2 duo): the game was of course not so beatiful, but now with my new computer... Strange!

Hi, I have no method yet, however, I will try to use boot camp. Thanks and bye!
