No option to buy epics for the panamera/arash af10 on any of my apple devices, while others in my club have bought the same deal. The deal just doesnt show up at all

Hey, I cant change my user on mac, why is that

[brave elk]

not mac os issues but how is this guy lapping 3 secs on the field while in a worse car??

[gloomy garnet]

Very highly skilled player

In my tier there is one who did 1:20 with a 1 star car and he's from the RPM club

[brave elk]

3 seconds though??!?!? thats mad skill

It sorta feels like they are hacking

[gloomy garnet]

Yeah

[gloomy garnet]

Unless we can prove it, there is nothing we can do

[gloomy garnet]

I have met hackers on Android and windows who use something like infinite nitro or some insane acceleration but I am yet to meet any on iOS/Mac

[brave elk]

there are so many hackers in my a9 gp bro, im just trying to win the aston 😭

[limber owl]

An unpleasant moment: I have a good Internet connection and during my attempt at the Grand Prix the game simply froze on reconnecting to the Internet, the fuel had not yet been “written off” and I had 2 cans
I re-logged in and there was only one canister (

Video of the game

[lusty rock]

Is this a bug or the way the Mac version of the game plays out? I have been playing for years and at level 18 for a long time. SO I have a pretty good garage now. I know all about the randomness in the store. But I have NEVER seen this happen before. As of about three weeks ago, the store no longer shows BPs for credits. Only tokens. The selection of cars in the store has also been limited to the Akylone and Chiron for tokens. Again, only for token purchase, none for credits any longer. I also noticed that for the Egoista weekly event, I no longer get any Import cards when playing with the ZR1. I am six imports short of making it gold. That has been like this for about six weeks now. Again, I get the randomness factor, but the game is simply not offering any more BPs for credits or the Ego imports.

[lucid adder]

Hi, my imac mouse pointer, not the same, please help??

[still whale]

It’s been like that for months..maybe close to 2 years at this point

[humble sage]

Hi guys, can I transfer my account from android to iOS?

[still whale]

Yes you can

[humble sage]

can you tell me how I can do that, please?

[fringe otter]

Only way is to contact Customer Care

[humble sage]

Okay, thank you so much for the advice man!

[hazy orbit]

Important concern: Since the current update is the last update for this game (before ALU) will the current data be moved to ALU when it launches
or do we need to sign in to a Gameloft ID? GL ID isn't currently supported on Apple devices of the update.
Problem: I am on a moderately old macbook (retina 2015) and it's no longer getting major OS updates. So I fear that ALU might end up not supporting my ancient OSX Monterey Machine. (I still hope it does)
BUT: my account is signed into Game center and Apple ID.
Since ALU is all about cross platform compatibility, I intend to access my account on multiple devices.

[brave elk]

so exactly what season does this race unlock?? (I alr unlocked this season before)

[steel violet]

Some seasons are unlocked when you unlock the main car for that season. You must have unlocked the J50 before to get the Ferrari season unlocked earlier.

[brave elk]

oh ok. thanks

u must've done a ton of digging to find that

[steel violet]

I think someone mentioned this on Reddit a while back. Didn’t do a lot of digging myself tbh.

[cold iris]

Hi Asphalt Team. Can you people share a tutorial or guide on how to properly proceed on this new "Connect" screen so we can be ready for the Asphalt Unite later on July? Thanks.

[hazy orbit]

ok, I was suprised Apple platform now has GL ID.
It didnt say in the patch notes

[atomic summit]

The car disappeared, seems to be happening with everyone
please fix this ASAP

[snow portal]

how can i get ads after race for credits

[gloomy garnet]

unfortunatly Macos does not support ads 😢

[nocturne ferry]

no new season yet?

clubmates already have the events etc, i tried refreshing the game

[still whale]

have you updated your game?

[nocturne ferry]

no, it doesn't show that there is any update

[still whale]

Oh..well go update it

[nocturne ferry]

oh haha, just as i said that the update popped up 😅

[still whale]

or..check if there needs to be

[nocturne ferry]

thanks for you help anyways lol

yep got it now, thx

[steel violet]

I fully switched from mac to iOS just for this, ads.

[brave elk]

does anyone know whats happening? why aren't there daily events or the new season out yet?

[brave elk]

oh nvm i see the update

[vapid gust]

Theres been an issue on my Mac

when I go full screen, the game maps just glitch like crazy

it's almost unplayable

but when I exit fullscreen, it's just back to normal

i hope this get's fixed

[nocturne ferry]

is it possible to transfer progress via gameloft id from mac to an android device? i keep getting an error code

keeps turning up with a server error

[atomic summit]

showroom glitch

[atomic summit]

I don't know
I just opend the game and found this. Restarting the game can't resolve this.

[mossy spire]

i don't think you cann

i tried moving my progress from steam to my mac, it didn't work

[nocturne ferry]

even with gameloft ID? interesting

thx though

Hi, how to use no pink cursor?? Please help?? Imac??

[still whale]

This has been happening for a good while now (more then a year at least)
I do not know the reason as to why the cursor is gone

[lucid adder]

Your mac computer, not pink as before, cursor??

[still whale]

yes

[limber owl]

For some reason, it disappeared from me about two years ago

[gusty mica]

Hey guys

I used to use windows

Now because of school I primarily use a Mac

I noticed in Asphalt 9 there is not the cool looking A9 mouse there is on windows

Can someone please explain why?

[still whale]

It's been like that for a while. No one knows the reason as to why the cursour has disappeared.

[gusty mica]

maybe it was removed on purpose?

[whole notch]

why doesn't it let me connect on mac?

[gloomy garnet]

Tried restarting the game or the whole Mac?

How are we supposed to connect the Facebook option? 🤔

[vapid gust]

Hello everyone

is there any option to transfer my progress from a Mac to a Windows?

If you want to switch now, you may try contacting customer care for that, but if you are willing to wait you can do that when cross-platform drops in Asphalt Unite next month

Guys does Asphalt 9 Legends downloaded from Mac AppStore support 5120 x 1440 ultrawide?

I want to connect my PC to external monitor and play the game

[limber owl]

I haven't tried it, but it will most likely work

[spring pewter]

yes

[quiet marsh]

having the same issues, support is not answering still

[latent maple]

Can you elaborate please, maybe I can help if I know

[quiet marsh]

"Im not able to use connect button in GAMELOFT CONNECT section. So i can play on multiple devices. Games is download from App Store. Im using MacBook pro 16 2021 (M1 Pro)"

[latent maple]

What age did you put when you first launched the game?

[quiet marsh]

oh

well it was like 0 or 1

[latent maple]

Well...

The game prohibits any social features for users under 13 I believe, not saying you are 1 year old but that's how the algorithm works, you have to contact customer care so that they fix your age in game and they might ask for an ID (do not quote me on this)

[quiet marsh]

lets hope theyll answer someday, waiting for 4 days rn

anyway thanks a lot

next time ill say im 50 yrs old boomer

@latent maple btw do you know how i can open converstion with support? I got converstion id from e-mail but i dont understand where to use it

[latent maple]

If you contacted them they give you the conversation ID as a reference for your request, but you do nothing besides waiting for now, if no answer within a week or so you can request again

[quiet marsh]

got it, thanks a lot

[latent maple]

You can check the status of your ticket (conversation ID) in the #📋・check-tickets channel, check pinned message there, and if it doesn't say pending and one week has passed, you can type your conversation ID in the #🆔・tickets-customer-care and someone from the Asphalt Team will raise it up again

@uncut spruce Hi! Please help to clarify: I'm in the middle of a Showroom event. All my progress will be kept or lost?

[uncut spruce]

Progress should be kept, have not heard otherwise 🙂

[brittle hinge]

are u sure ASU will come to mac today itself?

still there's no update

[fringe otter]

Check #🔥・hot-topics
It may take some time till update arrives

[brittle hinge]

ok

[serene birch]

Hi mate! There are some reasons for that.

**1. You're under 18 years old. **
Gameloft kindly secures your private information among other players! Therefore, you can not link your game to any social media. The game and your safes stay on your device only unless you manually don't delete them. So no worries about losing your data!

2. Contact with customer care!
They always help and are happy to listen to your request!

[serene birch]

It's quite a busy time for the whole Gameloft Team. Be patient a bit!

[quiet marsh]

no worries, i just got here

The only reason i havent started over cuz i spent few $ before i noticed that sync is broken for me 😂

[fallow fog]

In MP the opponent nameplates hide track details, it's very uncomfortable.

Some time is impossible to see if there is a ramp or whatever... 🤬

[wanton jungle]

Is the pixelated depth of field effect normal?

It wasn't that pixelated on old asphalt 9 before.

[robust girder]

does anybody else also didnt get the rewards?
i just got 6 bmw Z4 LCI E89...

[wary ocean]

Sadly, I had to lower my graphic settings to Low with all the effects off to get rid of all the lag. The game looks all washed out.

I’m on a MacBook Air M1.

[robust girder]

mine is M2 but still it lags a bit and the new ui is confusing...

[wary ocean]

Yeah, it’s going to take awhile to get use to. And too bad I didn’t get to see Singapore with all the effects on.

[plain hazel]

I am on air m3 it lags like hell

[wary ocean]

Well, I guess upgrading my Air won’t help much.

[plain hazel]

I am playing while plugged in btw

High setting just too bad fps
Medium bad as well

Trying low now

I think they need to optimise it nothing else

Low is fluid

[wary ocean]

Low with all the effects on is smooth for me.

[plain hazel]

Same

Lemme just try medium with some effect off

[plain hazel]

Medium with alot of combination isn't working

Ig just low with all effects is the way

[wary ocean]

That’s good to know.

[plain hazel]

• I was sitting in room with AC

[scenic pulsar]

this game run so bad with an m1 macbook xD

[plain hazel]

Low settings with all effects will run good

[scenic pulsar]

ok ill try

[plain hazel]

Afaik the problem is the new effect added as the console report says too much data being read from SSD it exceeds described values

Causing heat and throttle

Or it's just optimisation

[scenic pulsar]

i rlly want a better laptop :[

[plain hazel]

Can you ping someone to confirm from dev or mod

[round vine]

priyansh1304 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[scenic pulsar]

wha

[plain hazel]

M3 and it's still lagging bro

[scenic pulsar]

oh

oh well if m3 lagging

i will also be lagging

this laptop is the first one to have the M chips 😭

[plain hazel]

While plugged in and in AC room

💀

[scenic pulsar]

sameee

im plugged in rn

and im in an air conditioned room

also

[plain hazel]

Game needs optimisation probably

[scenic pulsar]

android version looks garbage 😭

[plain hazel]

I mean with just one update this is too much downgrade

[scenic pulsar]

yeah

[plain hazel]

Imagine if it lags on m4 iPad pro

💀

[scenic pulsar]

oh god

we are all doomed

gameloft optimization issues

Heres a comparison

Also the old version doesn't run really well as the old one

[plain hazel]

I mean if m3 is pooping at medium with all effects off then m4 can't run at high

[plain hazel]

Hm

[scenic pulsar]

oh god

even with low graphics the game still runs badly (but a lil better)

[plain hazel]

Some on m1 said low works smoothly

With all effects

[scenic pulsar]

idk man

[plain hazel]

Asphalt 10 next year 💀

[scenic pulsar]

hell yeahh

even more optimizations issues

wait

[scenic pulsar]

are they using the regular m1?

[plain hazel]

He could tell

It is air

[scenic pulsar]

a

mine is pro 💀

the 2020 gen

[plain hazel]

Bruhhb

[scenic pulsar]

oh cool the game refuses to load now 💀

[wary ocean]

It does that sometime. I waited a couple of minutes before it loaded.

[scenic pulsar]

Oh shoot

Ok it loaded now

network syncing issues 💀

[flint niche]

my ALU on mac is being really laggy, it's like 10fps on main menu, should i reinstall?

[scenic pulsar]

I think it's optimization issues

Someone with an m3 can't even play smoothly

In medium

[wary ocean]

It also keeps crashing when you finish a race and try to view your rewards in one of the Starway (Genty Akylone - 3rd step).

[flint niche]

yeah my gpu is at 100% power

unfortunate.

[scenic pulsar]

I'ma try multiplayer on Mac now >:]

I have no hopes in android 😭

[flint niche]

are you sure its optimization issue

[scenic pulsar]

.

[plain hazel]

90% yea

[wary ocean]

If you even get a match in MP. It wasn’t working.

[scenic pulsar]

Let's just try

Bro m3 is an extremely powerful chip

[plain hazel]

Not for Asphalt9

🤡

[scenic pulsar]

Lmao

I just realized

[flint niche]

how could the devs not test run compatibility on mac and just upd the game for us without optimization ????

[scenic pulsar]

This channel doesn't have slow mode

[plain hazel]

In just menu gpu is 67%

[scenic pulsar]

Oh god

Oh yeah

MP is not working..

I'm not getting a match!!!

[flint niche]

i think macOS has just been forgotten

[plain hazel]

With additional 17% on windowserver

[scenic pulsar]

They didn't even mentioned macos in hot topics

[plain hazel]

At end about 85% gpu in menu

[jade void]

macOS getting neglected yet again as always

[flint niche]

wait are my files corrupt because i deleted and installed A9 a load of time

[scenic pulsar]

Macos users is sad 😭

[plain hazel]

Low with all effects works flawlessly

[scenic pulsar]

they should add kebindins

keybindings

the controls are trash

for me atleast

[flint niche]

can you connect a wheel to a9 on mac

[scenic pulsar]

idk

[carmine basalt]

This update isn’t good 😕

[flint niche]

yep works flawlessly but that kind of defeats the point of the upd, also id rather play a9 at max

can any member of staff confirm if macOS issues are being worked on or if this OS is just being neglected

[scenic pulsar]

ngl the garage looks like disney speedstorm's old garage

[cold iris]

[UI Feedback] Please, replicate the Showroom accomplished condition visual on the rest of the game. That way we'll be able to read perfectly.

[scenic pulsar]

Lol

Why does war thunder with high graphics runs better than ALU

[near shoal]

why is it so laggy and looks unfinished

i have a macbook pro m1 but the game is unplayable

[ocean shuttle]

Me on my spare 2017 MacBook Air with Intel

ACING IT

lol

In all respects though, I do sympathize. Is there a way to clear any game cache?

[flint niche]

modern macs are more than able to run but it was just poorly made for macOS clearly

[scenic pulsar]

Indeed.

[ocean shuttle]

I mean, I've had no issues with it.

Ooook then.

[restive ermine]

I dont mind if the account gets deleted, but I just want to play with another account

So how can I fix this?

I tried deleting the cache and stuff but since Im new to mac, it didnt work

I cant find how to reset apps either so i decided to ask here

[ocean shuttle]

Oof.

[plain hazel]

The game added to many extra effects and animation which cause a burden on GPU so it heats and throttle

[ocean shuttle]

Okok.

[plain hazel]

That's what I have noticed

[ocean shuttle]

I don't know if this will work.

But try opening your game center setting

[plain hazel]

Peak GPU usage was 85% on my m3 air base

I think m3 with 10 core GPU would do better with 2 additional cores

[ocean shuttle]

You can turn some of those effects down too, you know.

[plain hazel]

Not those effects like God rays etc

I mean like shockwave animation

[ocean shuttle]

??

I have a spare MacBook Air 2017 that runs it just fine. 😐

[plain hazel]

Anti alliasing reflection bloom etc you can turn off

[plain hazel]

My macbook air m3 runs perfectly smooth on low with all effects on

Without plugging in

[ocean shuttle]

Ok ok, you're good then.

But yes, it depends on the silicon configuration as well.

If you purchased a MacBook with a lower amount of cores compared to a higher configuration, you might end up with some of these problems.

[plain hazel]

I am saying before unite it was running on medium setting smoothly but not now only thing I could find is high GPU usage at like 90% max possibly due to animation and ui being more detailed

[flint niche]

i have 8 core cpu 10 core gpu and its not running fine on high graphics

[plain hazel]

M3?

[flint niche]

m2

[plain hazel]

Even on m3 high is just dream rn

M3 with 10 core GPU can max handle medium

That's the best outcome

My 8 core GPU m3 runs well only on low with all effects enabled

[ocean shuttle]

Great, now I'm worried to install the update.

[plain hazel]

So you haven't updated yet?

[flint niche]

tbh maybe it is developed well for mac but macs are just not good enough

[ocean shuttle]

In the process of.

Actually, it's about to finish.

[plain hazel]

Don't update it lol

[ocean shuttle]

Rest in peace, my soul.

[plain hazel]

It's gonna snatch the soul of your Mac

[flint niche]

i wish i could revert to a9

[plain hazel]

Rip

[ocean shuttle]

Like it already had a soul...

[ocean shuttle]

I KNOW

Bor.

Bro

And it's, what? 3.5 GB more than it's supposed to be?

[plain hazel]

Macs aren't bad enough to run on low

[ocean shuttle]

How long is this Unite mumbo jumbo even gonna be around for?

[ocean shuttle]

lol

[plain hazel]

Update was 7.4gb for me

[ocean shuttle]

M3 Max Mac Studio Ultra Pro...18 inch.

[flint niche]

same

[ocean shuttle]

Same difference.

[plain hazel]

It is just using all the GPU with windowserver combined

Literally 100%

90% Asphalt rest 8-9% windowserver

[ocean shuttle]

.

MY BABY

GUYS.

I'm scared...

[restive ermine]

Oh no, I basically was trying to understand unite after returning to the game and I thought deleting the account would help, my actual account is on android, and it isnt affected
My issue is that the game wont let me use another account while I try to delete this one

[ocean shuttle]

Gosh diggity darn it.

[ocean shuttle]

I've run entire Meta trained AI language models on this good old MacBook Air 2017.

But THIS is ridiculous.

[plain hazel]

It's a GL issue not Mac issue

[restive ermine]

So I was wondering if there was a way to delete the app data (like in windows) to reset the app to the first install state

[ocean shuttle]

0_0

[plain hazel]

In console it was also showing the game reading too much beyond recommended value

[restive ermine]

Preferably I want to avoid reinstalling the app, 7 gb takes a long time and if it didnt work, Ill have wasted time

[plain hazel]

Reading from SSD I mean

Hmm search on yt I am new to Mac myself

[restive ermine]

tried but didnt help

[plain hazel]

It's been 1 month only

[plain hazel]

Umm Google it and see if there's anything on apple community

[restive ermine]

yea same

[plain hazel]

Try searching in spotlight with some words like erase data or something

[flint niche]

look at hot topics they completely left out macOS

[restive ermine]

Tried those two and didnt find anything helpful so i thought here or maybe a more technical macos community wouldve helped

[ocean shuttle]

On some of our networks it takes literally 5 minutes.

Some people we know who work in the network firm get a whole gigabyte per second download.

That's 7 gigs in 7 seconds.

*Mind blown

[plain hazel]

Yea but we can't blame em Mac might have the lowest player base out of all platforms so last priority

[restive ermine]

at like 6mb per second thats almost 20 minutes

I did delete it just now, so hopefully the reinstall works

[ocean shuttle]

I use 25 Mb/s

But it honestly depends.

[restive ermine]

well yea, the download suffers when you live with your parents

[ocean shuttle]

Trauma's coming back.

OH

HOLY-

What theee---

Ok, so download size is 7Gb

[restive ermine]

also why are you talking like youre multiple people

[ocean shuttle]

But now it's installing

I got a low disk space warning

2 GB remaining on my MacBook.

😐

Hell nah

I deleted Adobe Premiere, and iMovie for this.

This is sad.

Whyyyy, though?

What made it take up so much more space?

[restive ermine]

well those graphics certainly come at a cost

[ocean shuttle]

Oh heavens.

[restive ermine]

atleast its better than warzone

or cyberpunk

[ocean shuttle]

Ah don't got no more space fo 'dis.

[restive ermine]

youre on a macbook right, so thats atleast 256gbs, just delete stuff you dont need/put it in the cloud

[restive ermine]

.

[ocean shuttle]

IT's DONE

Actually...It cleared up the excess.

I know have my space back.

Wonderful

[ocean shuttle]

I'm a developer. All my resources are full you know.

[restive ermine]

then you should buy a portable ssd

[ocean shuttle]

I did.

Full

🙂

But I'm going to purchase a new MacBook M3 with a max out.

So, hopefully that serves it's purpose.

Don't wanna make a bad investment. 😉

[plain hazel]

Wait for m4

[restive ermine]

if you want a better cost to well almost everything ratio, windows is probably better

[plain hazel]

Just around the corner probably

[plain hazel]

Mac is good for developing and you can get good performance without plugging in

[restive ermine]

would be fair, if snapdragon wasnt coming up

[plain hazel]

I will start my CSE this Tuesday

[plain hazel]

Well thing is Mac just performs better than x elite

[round vine]

priyansh1304 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[restive ermine]

It could be less stable since its gen 1, but you probably would get better storage and stuff for the same price

[plain hazel]

X elite has 4 variants

Samsung one has top variant but surface with worse variant beats it

[restive ermine]

you also get actual cooling, instead of just a thin piece of copper that does basically nothing

[plain hazel]

Well m3 air is cheaper then x elite ones at Base specs

[restive ermine]

the base specs of m3 air is litterally 256gb and 8 gigs of ram

[plain hazel]

Well that cooling isn't making huge difference and still Mac has better battery

[flint niche]

ram is really cheap but apple is greedy- 8gb shouldn't even be an option for a mac

[restive ermine]

snapdragon x elite hsould offer similar battery life

[restive ermine]

y e s

[plain hazel]

The management of Mac os is really really good

[restive ermine]

? explain

[plain hazel]

Well yea but same specs Mac air is almost same as x elite ones

[plain hazel]

You will get to know about it yourself after some time

[restive ermine]

as someone who owns a m2 air, i can ssure you cooling is really important

[restive ermine]

The upgrades arent, even if the base is

[plain hazel]

Well you can see test between m3 and x elite and you can see the difference

[restive ermine]

I did say considering cost

[plain hazel]

You can compare macbook air m3 16 gb with x elite base costing same with little difference

The x elite with fans is barely beating Mac

[restive ermine]

sec, lemme look up benchmarks

[plain hazel]

And the thing is macbook air are more of student laptops

Or general purpose usage

[ocean shuttle]

Ok, so it is really laggy.

Is there a way to turn off motion blur?

[plain hazel]

A person working in firm would use macbook pro and snapdragon doesn't have anything there

[restive ermine]

?

[plain hazel]

Setting then graphic

[restive ermine]

Not really, a lot more software exists for windows

[ocean shuttle]

Don't see any motion blur settings

[restive ermine]

besides, in most subjects, windows is probably better... assuming you dont need to edit like a LOT of videos really quickly

[ocean shuttle]

Ok nevermind I found them.

[restive ermine]

since you donty have to pay a lot for the hardware and you can do most of the work on cloud

[plain hazel]

Not about software I am saying as a student it's more affordable to me it's 8gb base but it's enough for my 4 years CSE whereas as in sd x elite base is 16 gb which costs more so I can save up my money by going on Mac

In India Mac m3 I bought was for 102k sd x elite would probably be 150k+

Now tell which is better

In 150k I can get 16 gb ram and 512 on Mac too

[restive ermine]

yea

[plain hazel]

And if not a good offer on m1 pro Mac would be a steal

[restive ermine]

8gbs of ddr5 doesnt cost 50k rs

[plain hazel]

Well it's not about what it costs it's about the cost it is saving me

[restive ermine]

also battery efficiency of both of them is around the same

[restive ermine]

Im not talking about the least costly laptop

[plain hazel]

The test I saw there was a difference of 10% so it's quite good

[restive ermine]

I said "cost to features" or something like that

[plain hazel]

Umm but if we compare at same price both are almost same specs and similar performance

[restive ermine]

macbook is probably the cheapest if you count for that, while that is true, MOST people probably would spend a little more just for better memory and storage

[plain hazel]

And windows has a lot of errors and blue screen issue as far as I have experienced with my usage

[plain hazel]

I would just get 16 gb ram along with 256 gb storage and buy a SSD

Cheaper combo

[restive ermine]

I have used windows for most of my life and Ive rarely encountered issues with it.

[flint niche]

windows is a bloated OS and macOS is jail

[restive ermine]

As long as you did your hw on the market you probably will be good(Im not that familiar with the market, just know about the specs)

[restive ermine]

ye, you can always install something like tiny 11 tho

[plain hazel]

Mac air m3 with 16 gb and 512 gb is around 144k here in India with free airpods pro gen 3 why would I go for x elite

[restive ermine]

I can think of multiple reasons but im not sure if they apply to you

[plain hazel]

Like?

[restive ermine]

There are a lot of issues with the macbook while gaming, due to a lack of cooling, it overheats, lack of app support due to it being on a completely different hardware and software than most of the market.
Hard and costly to repair/upgrade

Say you cracked your screen, even with apple care youre looking at ~10-20k rs for repair costs

[restive ermine]

.

[plain hazel]

Well x elite is arm too so software if issue for Mac then rn it is for windows too

[restive ermine]

Yeah, but it wont cost another kidney to fix it

wait wrong response

sry

[restive ermine]

yea, thats true, but since windows itself is behind it, more devs will try to make better apps for it

windows owns a lot more of the market than apple

thats why that part doesnt matter AS much: theres a lot more reason to make an arm specific version than a mac version

[plain hazel]

Macs are never used as a gaming machine as you know and even x elite has high temperature on chassis Idk if you have noticed Mac cools really fast after you leave it just for 2 mins

[plain hazel]

Umm m chips are arm too

[restive ermine]

What I was trying to get at was: theres more of a reason to make windows software than macos

[restive ermine]

they arent used for gaming because theyre horrible at it

[plain hazel]

And most software which professional use are there on Mac, main usage of Mac is for video editing and coding etc and all top software are available

[restive ermine]

That depends

[plain hazel]

Well x elite is worse at it

[restive ermine]

probably, but its gen 1

[plain hazel]

In benchmark I saw like wildlife 3d if not wrong

[restive ermine]

would prefer if you could send it

[flint niche]

are they going to optimise alu for mac

[restive ermine]

no idea

[plain hazel]

Well that's not a valid argument tbh it's saying like Samsung had fold first so they are better but some companies are better in foldable then Samsung atm even by a thin margin

[restive ermine]

theres always pros and cons to stuff

Personally, Id prefer having app diversity than a slightly lower cpu temp while running those apps

Ypu have access to litterally every game on windows with snapdragon, that isnt true for macos. pretty much every game on mac is also on windows

The compatibility will eventually get better, since the market for windows laptops is a lot larger than for macs. Competition will require it to get better while mac, really has no reason to make better hardware for cheaper

[plain hazel]

My phone died

[restive ermine]

sadge

[plain hazel]

Both have their postive and negative tbh

[restive ermine]

ye, I just prefer windows than to mac

[restive ermine]

Especially since I like to have customised stuff

[plain hazel]

But devs will get on mac too as windows is now on arm too app avaibility would be better on both

Hot take but i like mac ui better at stock

[restive ermine]

not really, youll probably still find arm software for windows quicker

[plain hazel]

Well atm its opposite but yea true but difference might not be much

[restive ermine]

I personally hated it, the doc was too big, I didnt like the wallpaper but yea

[plain hazel]

And x elite isnt even here in india

[plain hazel]

You can change its size

[restive ermine]

that only true because arm based windows has been out for less than a year and arm based macos has been out for 4

[plain hazel]

Even the hardness of trackpad click can be adjusted

[restive ermine]

wot?

[plain hazel]

Yup

[plain hazel]

Yup lol some macos stuff is just wow

I have kept it on light and it like soo good i cant even feel it

Settings 》 trackpad

I use so many gesture with my trackpad

[restive ermine]

is this what you mean?

[plain hazel]

Like two finger left and right swipe to go back and forth on webpages

[plain hazel]

Yes

You can increase tracking speed too tbh

And i think we are talking in wrong chat lets move on to #🪄・off-topic

[restive ermine]

In the new Asphalt Unite gaming controller doesn’t work on MacOs. For the reference: I’m using M3 Macbook and a Xbox Series S/X controller. @uncut spruce

[lusty rock]

One word: WHY?? Aside from the new interface being bad in many areas, I cannot get Unity to stop flashing. Rebooted and everything. Even on the absolute lowest settings. A9 played great, even at the highest settings.
Mac Mini | 3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 | Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB | 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

[dapper galleon]

Bro my macbook heats up so much when playing now

On legends its never heats up

[chrome mantle]

Stuck On This Screen Forever After I Changed Graphic Settings To Medium

Macbook Pro 13in | M2 Max | M2 GPU | 16GB Memory

[jade void]

My iMac stayed on that start up screen for about five minutes when I changed to medium too, felt like I wasn’t gonna play

[chrome mantle]

Oh, I Just Got In

And Is It Just Me Or Is My Mac Struggling At Medium

[jade void]

Nah not just you because even mine couldn’t handle it with the game lagging so much during races

Was getting ridiculous that I had to get off

[chrome mantle]

And The Game Just Crashes After A Few Minutes On High For Me

[normal moss]

When can we rollback to normal A9? ALU is alpha version and it's unplayable on macos

[cold iris]

Same here. Only playable on low.

[chrome mantle]

tbh ALU Is just A9 But With Some UI Changes

[vast stratus]

Lagging too much after the update, seem we are blinking and playing, multiplayer races, an eternity to load the opponents, it was super fine and now there's no much fun in playing :/

[scarlet surge]

huge lag on mac, races are not smooth and sets back speed

[long parcel]

Why is countach c class

[cold iris]

It's a visual error. Just like all the blue import parts.

Adding that to the list. Yeah, we are making a HUGE list of bugs it the other [Snoo robot] community.

[noble idol]

My feelings exactly. Doubt I will even play it anymore because of how bad the graphical issues are on my M1 Macbook.

[chrome mantle]

Why Does It "Think" I Have A Car Although I Don't And Does Anyone Else Have This Bug?

[brittle hinge]

there's too much lag on mac m1, before highest settings were possible but now even low setting don't give that performance, ALU please optimise the game for mac, at least 60fps at medium setting

how is there such a stark gap between ALU and a9's requirements???

[chrome mantle]

Same, my mac can barely handle very low

[hollow coral]

same, agreed

[brittle hinge]

yeah but optimization is possible which ALU hasn't looked into much

[grim geode]

literally the exact same thing for me (except im on intel i9)

[grim geode]

it just now launched after like 10 minutes of waiting

[hazy orbit]

my Macbook is a 2015 macbook pro. when I set the preset setting to Low (the 2nd lowest setting) it now runs smoothly.

tho, for me, my macbook has 1 slight mod: I use a PTM thermal pad to cool my CPU, since the game overheats the CPU in 10 mins.

[scenic pulsar]

Same here.

[plain hazel]

Guys for now only way to play ALU on Mac is low settings with all effects on

And even at this settings it heats up a lot

It uses almost full GPU

In M3

[brittle hinge]

how's the fps gonna be with these settings on base m1

[brittle hinge]

same

[plain hazel]

60fps

[brittle hinge]

gl should really FIX this

[brittle hinge]

ok

[plain hazel]

I m on m3 you can turn 1 or 2 effects off if you can't get 60fps

[brittle hinge]

o ok

[brittle hinge]

same

[glass raft]

How do you turn them off?

[robust girder]

settings<sound and display

[robust girder]

why are syndicate cars not knocking down even after several attempts???

[snow portal]

same 😭

[long parcel]

mine doesn't even lauch

[snow portal]

i am leaving this game bcz my mack heats up fast

[long parcel]

im gonna turn on very low graphics to see if it works better

ig it does work well

but its not realistic anymore

[snow portal]

is this weak mack ? this mack i am using

[brittle hinge]

for alu its a bit weak

[snow portal]

😭

[brittle hinge]

i hv base m1 and it lags a lot along with heating even at low settings

[snow portal]

i am playing at low settings 30 fps no music nothing still heats up

while i am using club chat still heats up 💀

[scenic pulsar]

its good

[scenic pulsar]

relatable.

[rotund swan]

Well, let's wait another 9 months again until they fix the performance issues.
And bro ... why does everyone think that there M-processor is too weak for a mobile game. The M1 has still more than enough resources for such a game. Gameloft just gives a f* on the macOS platform. I'll play on iPad and Xbox Series X now.

[brittle hinge]

9 months? they can fix within the next 2 updates if they wish to

[rotund swan]

Of course, in theory they can.

[brittle hinge]

yeah

[serene birch]

Guys, what setting do you recommend for Mac's best performance?
It shouldn't heat my Mac and the graphics shouldn't be very bad

[brittle hinge]

low 60 fps with motion blur on works perfectly for me

[serene birch]

Can you screen your settings list?

[brittle hinge]

k just a sec

here

constant 60 fps with game mode but quality's quite bad

[serene birch]

Not a fan of high settings

[serene birch]

What Mac do you use?

[brittle hinge]

base m1

[serene birch]

Air?

[brittle hinge]

yep

[serene birch]

Does it heat up?

[plain hazel]

Low with all effects on works at 60 fps but after 45 mins it heats and throttles

[plain hazel]

M3

If you plug in its worse as it heats quickly and throttles

[serene birch]

I tried at Medium settings. Not very impressed. Quite a bit of lags

[brittle hinge]

not that much if game mode's on but after an hour yeah a bit

[brittle hinge]

same

[brittle hinge]

battery?

[plain hazel]

Battery is giving better performance smh

[brittle hinge]

o ok i'll try that

[plain hazel]

As I said it throttled quickly when plugged in

As it heats up faster

The game is just simply using 100% GPU

[serene birch]

Does the headlight reflection only available in medium settings?

[brittle hinge]

yeah totally no optimization for mac

[plain hazel]

Medium with no effect on and it lags

[plain hazel]

On M3 🤡

[serene birch]

Is it because it can or it should in order to run?

[plain hazel]

I mean a9 was able to run smoothly on medium but ALU cant

It's optimisation issue probably

[brittle hinge]

mac can handle medium 60 fps only if they optimised it properly

[plain hazel]

Atm it is harming the Mac as it heats quickly uses ton of battery

[serene birch]

I guess, it's two more years and Mac M1 won't be able to run the game

[plain hazel]

At this rate it's just next year with a10 probably

[brittle hinge]

i am already thinking of switching to some other game, low graphics is too bad and the heating too

[plain hazel]

I might stop playing untill they fix it tbh

[serene birch]

a10?

[brittle hinge]

same

[plain hazel]

Asphalt10

It is probably releasing NXT year

[brittle hinge]

a10? its coming?

[plain hazel]

It should bro it's been ages

[flint niche]

i dont think they will go on to double digits i think they will just expand from a9 but i can be wrong

[plain hazel]

I mean you can count a major major update new game

[brittle hinge]

yeah they'll just continue with alu

[serene birch]

Why would they release in the next year? It's the peak time playing Asphalt LU

[plain hazel]

Only new thing this time is just cross platform

Rest is ui change

[brittle hinge]

and reduced performance

[plain hazel]

Reduce is just not right here lol it's even worse

[flint niche]

what do you expect from gameloft 🤷

[brittle hinge]

yeah almost unplayable

good thing i am f2p

[plain hazel]

A9 was just better

Is the game working well on ipad?

If game is lagging on m3 it surely can't run well on m4 iPad even at medium

[serene birch]

What settings did you use in A9?

[plain hazel]

It was medium

[limber owl]

MBA?

[plain hazel]

Yup

[limber owl]

I'm still "sitting" with M1

[plain hazel]

@uncut spruce is the Mac issue looked upon by team

Along with lagging it's draining twice the battery

[glass raft]

Is ALU lagging a lot for everyone or is it just me?

[plain hazel]

Everyone on Mac

[limber owl]

@uncut spruce
Is this how it should be?

[near shoal]

are they going to fix it

[plain hazel]

Doesn't look like it

[near shoal]

the messed up the ui bad

[stark fiber]

🫡

[frozen aurora]

Hey guys I hope this helps. MacBook Air M2 nothing fancy just basic. Change the frame rate to 30FPS, set the basic settings to Medium and turn off the Reflections setting. This has worked for me. Mac does heat up but doesn’t go above 150 degrees. But still they need to fix this issue asap and the names on top of cars in MP are too annoying and block our view ahead.

[plain hazel]

Better run low at 60fps tbh

My MBA m3 used about 95% battery on 4.5 hrs ALU and 1 hr safari

Before that it was min 8 hrs a9 on medium setting after 100% consumption

[plain hazel]

They are ignoring Mac os tbh

[grim geode]

The game just came out they are probably waiting for a lot of reports so they can fix a bunch of issues at once.

[wary ocean]

I’m not looking forward to updates. The last few updates made things worse and worse for us (controller not connecting and lag) until they finally came around and fixed it. I agree, macOS is way down their list when it comes to fixes, in my opinion.

And what’s with club chat limited to like 21 characters long? That’s way too short to even finish a sentence.

[lusty rock]

I completely agree w

[lusty rock]

Ha! Could not resist the reply to show how ridiculous the new chat is.
That is the craziest thing. To limit chat. I am a club leader and often have to post updates and such that are more than the current character limit. If this was some temporary thing for the launch, they should have stated that in their update notices. SMH...

[uncut tinsel]

Istg, my M1’s performance is shit, when I changed the graphics to medium, the game never opened after that, it’s stuck on the loading page.

[wary ocean]

I’m sure it’s an overlooked issue that they can fix quickly when they have time. Hopefully soon.

Nice! Can’t wait to download it and see.

[lusty rock]

Hopefully. But I cannot believe that obvious things like this were not discovered in what I would think was a year or more of testing the new version.

[brittle hinge]

what's ur mac's specs

is it base m1 or

i can't see the new update

[plain hazel]

There's no new version

[tall lance]

Issues after update on Mac:

1. The gameplay (especially in multiplayer isn't smooth).. it's just so glitchy and flashy.
2. The new track singapore is just confusing and can't see clearly even the way. Very bad experience on that track and dynamic lighting in other tracks is also creating visual difficulty. Need to balance.
3. Starway disappeared after first stage! What the hack is that about? I have some bps from store.. but if I was allowed to start the event why is it getting removed?
4. UX discoverablity issues: Season mission, club and daily tasks are difficult to find. I referred the new game to a friend.. after two days he didn't know there were season missions!.
5. Battery 🔋 draining

[plain hazel]

What about lag lol

And eating battery

[brittle hinge]

on low graphics settings i can't even figure out where a nitro bottle is

[plain hazel]

It is what it is

[tall lance]

Yeah.. Missed it. Battery is draining like chocolate candy on coffee table 😭

[stark fiber]

I received the update for iOS but not on macOS. I’m assuming it’s still rolling out. My version number on iOS is 24.0.2a and 24.0.1f on macOS. I’m waiting patiently.

[stark fiber]

yes

Happens To Me Too But With The Back Button

[potent gorge]

These are just some of the issues I saw today

Silver II didn't have Triumph Rewards

Won the race as Security, got ZERO credits

This has happened more then one time

While playing Team Pursuit, immediately after the race started, my camera locked in this position and didn't move, the car continued racing.

And in an World League race, I started with TD on, (must've accidentally cliscked it) I couldn't control the car with the keyboard, I pressed tab a few times but didn't work, I clicked on the TouchDrive button on the top left of the screen with the mouse and played manual normally.

And in the "Recommended" section of the shop, none of the options have countdown.

Hello @uncut spruce, how are you?

Well, it's clear that after the launch of Asphalt Legends Unite you and the whole team are working a lot to fix things and improve the game. I can only imagine the amount of work and with that in mind I would like to share with you a link about this topic.

Our goal is that Asphalt Legends Unite becomes a great game for everyone. The link is a compilation of the most reported bugs/issue by the community of ALU players on Reddit (currently with more than 28k members).

This compilation was done by me and another contributor after reading hundreds of comments of the community and identifying the platform/description of the issue. Also, when a complaint was mentioned a lot of times and somehow impacted the gameplay in a relevant way, we added it to the top of the list (setting a priority level) aiming only to better organize the things out.

We hope that helps!

(I sent you the link through DM)

[jagged hollow]

I have a solution, revert. Make it openworld or leave it alone.

[latent maple]

Thanks for the compilation, we sent it to CMs over the weekend and yesterday we got the confirmation that it was forwarded to the developers, great work

[chrome mantle]

Is this happening to anyone else? I keep seeing cars that i don't have as "unlocked"

[lusty rock]

Anyone on this server associated with Gameloft to where our issues are being forwarded along to get addressed? I simply cannot believe that some of these obvious things for Mac were never caught in beta and QA testing.

This one is so obvious. The CLAIM notification is bad. There should be a yellow banner behind the text to make it stand out. And why the green and yellow indicators? What is the different meaning of the color? The UI should be consistent throughout the game. Either green or yellow. Pick one.

Mac OS. Who let this get through? There is practically no space for the trade coin total!! Why? A simple movement of text and opening of the field would allow for large totals to be displayed WITHOUT the need for scrolling.

What did the new Mac OS version update? 24.0.2a. I still cannot play the game even at the lowest resolution, FPS, and window size. Flashes, flickers, and lags like crazy.

[fringe otter]

QA? GL doesn’t work like that.
Randomly tipping some code and praying it doesn’t explode is all they do.
That’s 10+ years of experience with A8 and A9

[flint niche]

i mean we cant even run the game so thats the main problem

[normal moss]

The main feature of the game is donate shop. It works perfectly. Welcome to Drive syndicate, prepare your skill and credit card

[bitter tartan]

DS9 unplayable (graphic issues) and unreliable (Jesko can be nerfed in future as they did to Devel). I do not see bright future for ALU.

[sharp heart]

Could you tell us your mac specs? Model, year, ram? Thanks!

[fallow fog]

I have the same problem: Mac mini M1 2020, 16GB RAM, 256GB NVMe... but ALU is only playable with LOW graphics basic settings

[wary ocean]

I tried to collect the MP Season Series I reward just now but the game crashed immediately after clicking on the reward button. I didn’t receive the reward and now it has moved one to the Season Series II. I hope it wasn’t a big reward.

[lusty rock]

When I look in the Mac App Store, there is no mention of min/recommended specs to run Unite. The store states the game is playable with my configuration.

[umbral thicket]

i have m2 Max with 32 gb model with 38 Graphics core and then only i can play the game at high setting but I have to keep bloom, god rays and depth of field still off for it work

[delicate topaz]

if I can ask a question here, I play on a macbook air but dont get ad multipliers because of that. is it possible to have the game downloaded on my mac and my iphone because of game center and run the same account on both, that way I can use the phone to get ads?

[fringe otter]

Yes. Simply connect to fb, Game Center, gameloft ID or any other option given ingame

[delicate topaz]

thanks, i appreciate it

[gloomy garnet]

I think I have found the specific problem the game is facing, atleast on Macs
Very high CPU and memory usage, though the memory part is debatable

[gloomy garnet]

This doen't affect me though because I have too many perfomance cores, so I am playing the game with no issues, on High graphics settings and everything turned on

[gloomy garnet]

Another observation I have made.
When the game is on the menu screen the CPU usage drops and the GPU usage goes up

[south vortex]

Hi @gloomy garnet
cpu usage on mac os is a bit misleading
100% means 100% of A core but you have multiple cores
if you check the graph below you will see the overall cpu usage is rather low
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6345789?sortBy=rank
That being said, the team is working on improvements on the macos version 🙂
Thank you for you report and your patience 🙂

[gloomy garnet]

Oh okay, understood

[cold iris]

@uncut spruce @tiny mulch @latent maple Hi all! I would really like to suggest a fix on the timer/countdown of a race. That's quite a lot of shaking. It's really painful to read it.

[hollow coral]

same happened to me

[brittle hinge]

Same here

[flint niche]

and here

[bitter tartan]

You mean small improvements, or have you guys found the real bottleneck in new engine implementation?
In my example (macbook pro with m1/16GB), I play on external display. I used to play A9 in 2160p in High settings. I had to lower the resolution to 1080p to get 60fps (still in Singapore it drops below 50).
4x lower screen resolution to get still worse performance. True downgrade to the graphics in ALU.
On 27" the game is too blurry in such settings and thus not really playable.

[plain hazel]

It's using literally 95% GPU and heats up and throttles if played on medium on my m3

On as9 it was sometimes using alot of battery and showing up under apps using significant battery

ALU now uses more battery but doesn't show up in apps using significant battery

Idk why

[robust girder]

Did anyone get another update on app store?
It's 7.4 GB again...

[robust girder]

same with me it drains off my battery but doesn't show up in apps using significant battery too.

[flint niche]

Can we run it in high settings flawlessly now? Did you update it yet

[gloomy garnet]

Yap, a couple of days ago.
Didn't notice any difference with the update

green icon means tht there's an event tht u haven't opened/played a race in whereas yellow means u have something to claim

[real fulcrum]

no update yet ig they just forgot they have the game on macos too

[hot spoke]

Since new update iMac freezes and crashes after racing for 1-2 minutes! Crashes every time!!! 5 yr old iMac, 3GHz, 10 core Xeon, Radeon 16gb, 128GB ram….

[real fulcrum]

finally

[real fulcrum]

oh no
not sure if i shld update then

[hot spoke]

🙈

It’s on lowest definition and refresh rate etc, will go and turn off all other options and will see what happens

[real fulcrum]

i'm playing on m1 with very low graphics with everything turned off and i still get rly rly bad lag

they rly messed up the optimization

[half oar]

Has anyone updated ?

[eternal crag]

Try playing on a lower resolution. For me that works. Yes I have updated, though I have an Intel Mac. The homescreen still acts like a fnaf 1 homescreen. So no issues have been fixed, and none have been added… though unite runs better than A9 for me

[thick raft]

I have a macbook air m1 and game is playing fine on low graphics settings after and before the update

I have a question. At low graphic setting, the car’s head lights are off and in tunnels / dark environments i cant see much. What exact setting should be enabled to turn headlights on @uncut spruce ?

[twin geyser]

what is this stupid update it's even more laggy now on low graphics

[wind coyote]

the game display at the beginning flickers on low graphic settings, but when racing the display does not flicker. when I change the graphic settings to medium or high, the game display does not flicker and is good, but it is very laggy.

[mossy moat]

I have good stuff

[nocturne ferry]

my eyes 💀

[cold iris]

@uncut spruce Hi there! I would like to make a suggestion. Please, add a less dark and less purple garage look. It's so awful to look at the cars in that bad light atmosphere. Maybe replacing it by the same look of the garage when you edit the car appearance (colors, decals, body parts, etc).

The picture above is the look on macOS in the daily events tab (car is red metallic). Then, take a look a the pictures below and check the difference of the same car on the garage tab and on the edit screen (much better due to no purple background).

Garage tab

Appearence tab

[limber owl]

It seems to me that this is how it should be

[cyan pond]

im just talking here to notify that i have been muted!

[nimble zenith]

Does everyone else's controller keep dropping connection every minute or so? Game does not say "controller disconnected/connected" but unresponsive to controller input for ~10 seconds then will resume working.

Doesn't matter if fullscreen or not, or if game mode is turned on or off

[nimble zenith]

So this happens when I connect an external monitor

[split rose]

i cant even delete or install alu, it's just stuck

it has been like that for days

😭

[split rose]

now it shows me this

[real fulcrum]

bruh even i have a mac air m1 and i get horrible lag like 30+ seconds lag in sections like the greenland cave while playing at very low
ig the headlights effects are only there in medium graphics

[hot spoke]

Can not see myself(2nd) in the final round standings. My position allways hidden. Both mac and iphone.

[real fulcrum]

same with even android and windows dw

it's an all round bug

[minor spoke]

OH

what other games do you guys play on mac?

[minor spoke]

maybe restart or smth

[hot spoke]

By the way on crashing issue reported a couple of days ago I found that playing full screen is ok, Mac constantly crashed when asphalt is in a window. Seems ok in full screen mode …nah after 24 hours screen just goes blank…no more Asphalt 9 on Mac 😏

[split rose]

Restarting doesnt work

It would reload, and stay stuck at the same place again

[minor spoke]

so you mean, the app is stuck, it neither would update, not you are able to unstall it?

[split rose]

Exactly

[minor spoke]

that have happened with me i think. what i did was finding the file through spotlight/raycast. then deleting it in applications folder

[split rose]

Im pretty sure it is device issue, not app issue. I am going to contact the Apple services.

[minor spoke]

and once i tried putting it into trash multiple times, after that it vanished

[split rose]

Will try

Thanks 👍

[minor spoke]

anytime!

[severe bane]

Anyone here need a club to join we are in need of 14 members

[robust girder]

did anyone else got another update/

?

[cold iris]

Yes! 24.0.4

[real fulcrum]

yup got it

[errant niche]

did they fix performance/heating issues? I'm updating rn on my macbook M1Pro, maybe I'm still in time to stop and play non updated version on lower graphics (A9 handled way better on max graphics)

[brittle hinge]

The graphics seems to hv improved even on the same settings (low with motion blur on)

I played 5 to 6 games and the performance seemed fine but there are audio issues at some places

[vernal path]

Hi

[eternal crag]

are you playing in full screen or windowed mode?

[real fulcrum]

yes graphics seems to have improved but performance issues r the same for me

[real fulcrum]

windowed
any difference when playing full screen?

[eternal crag]

Well, MacOS enters a "performance mode" when putting an app in full screen (long story of how I discovered this but it exists), with benefits like reduced latency, smoother gameplay, and a slight change in image quality to provide a more "immersive" experience, all at the cost of much more power consumption. Try playing in full screen and see what happens

[real fulcrum]

ahh yeah the game mode
just tried it and the lag is just as bad
from wht i've tried even if i quit every other app i have working the lag stays the same can't do anything abt it

[eternal crag]

Huh ... weird ...

well time to switch to rtx 4090 to get nice experience 😔

[real fulcrum]

tru lost too many points in mp cuz of this issue

[eternal crag]

game mode exists in earlier macos versions too but it's automatic and doesn't have a name (i have macos monterey for example)

Try playing on lowest graphics, resolution scale to 100%, disable motion blur, and enable god rays. How does the game look and feel?

My intel mac with intel GPU plays very well on this setting so if your m1 can't do it, it might be a mac problem 💀

Well, at native mac resolution no, my mac can't play it well, even in full screen, however in display settings I lowered the resolution to minimum and there it works in full screen

[brittle hinge]

yeah same, i still can't play on medium setting

[real fulcrum]

same situation actly played in very low for a while and now in low graphics
lag is the same in both settings

[eternal crag]

What macos version are you running?

[real fulcrum]

latest one sonoma

might be a device issue like u mentioned then sadly 😟

[eternal crag]

so no new updates....?

[real fulcrum]

never had this prob with a9

[eternal crag]

oh 😔

[real fulcrum]

there's one today

[eternal crag]

ah

oh it might also be from thermal throttling, is the mac burning?

[real fulcrum]

not rly still haven't heard the fans running at all

[spring pewter]

i can't see club chat

is anyone else facing the issue?

i can't even see the messages i send?

[real fulcrum]

yes club chat is invisible has been for a while

[spring pewter]

is this a issue?

[real fulcrum]

yes on all platforms

[spring pewter]

oo are they fixing in?

its workign now

[brittle hinge]

Can anyone play on medium on mac m1 base

[eternal crag]

Which mac do you have?

[eternal crag]

Thought you had an M1 macbook air (fanless)

[eternal crag]

It runs at a steady 30 fps, just tried it right now on default mac resolution

[real fulcrum]

oh waaaaaa
wow i didn't know it doesn't have a fan i'm so st_pid 😂
always thought where the h_ll they were well now i know 😭

[eternal crag]

ah hahahahaha

the more you know

[ocean shuttle]

Question: Does anybody know when the Asphalt Legends UNITE event will end?

[eternal crag]

Doesn’t every event have a timer?

[spring pewter]

i have m1 macbook

[cold iris]

@uncut spruce @latent maple Hi! I would like to suggest, please, for the removal of the locations requirement on that mission. The chance of getting the right location and then finishing 1st is too low. There are EIGHTEEN different locations on the game!

[latent maple]

Alright 👍

[spring pewter]

@uncut spruce @latent maple i can't see club chat

[latent maple]

known problem with current update

[spring pewter]

are the developers working on it?

[ocean shuttle]

yo

Does anybody know when the unite event is ending and going back to the normal Asphalt 9 Legends?

Because the unite is slowing down my spare MacBook big time.

[sullen rune]

Normal A9????

[fringe otter]

A9 doesn’t exist anymore, it’s now unite. New name for same game after latest update

[ocean shuttle]

. I'm doomed.

[fallow pasture]

Unite update 😂

[half oar]

Any changes or improvements from the latest update. .0.04

[robust girder]

i didnt get any of the location even once... plus somehow my car always crashes in teh starting...

[real fulcrum]

yes some changes like including the tickets cost in daily events in the 'play' button
and a graphics change too cuz the game looks slightly better at the same settings itself
but still no work on the performance issues

[cold iris]

How long it might take for the change of that mission? I'm patiently waiting, however the season is almost at the end...

[spring pewter]

@uncut spruce @latent maple i noticed an english in a9 today

according to me LVL 11 shoudl be there

but see only LV

is there

its not a big issue but i am just informing you

becuase the short form of level is lvl i guess

[latent maple]

LV is also used

[latent maple]

I don't know, I reported it

[wind orchid]

Level 11 oh boy you need to play more

[spring pewter]

bro i am 3 months old in the game

[split rose]

I cant download alu on mac. It just says 0% loading like last time again

[solemn roost]

i cant connect to anything, the connect button is disabled

send help pls

[robust girder]

try installing the app again?

[whole notch]

issue abt opening and purchasing packs i'm gonna fail my contracts 😭 and other packs

[solemn roost]

did it alrdy like 3 times lol, didnt work

[ocean shuttle]

I rest in peace

[visual thorn]

why everyone has macbook m1

[fallow pasture]

M2 time bomb

[spring pewter]

cuz m1 is best budet macbokkie

and seeing price of m2 and m3 its performance is outstanding,spectacular

[visual thorn]

m1 is better than m2?

[spring pewter]

obviously

[visual thorn]

wtf

[brittle hinge]

Ofc

[cold iris]

After update 24.0.4 I'm experiencing some sound issues on macOS. I tried to make a description of this issue below. There are manly two situations:

When in a race, some SFX sounds playing in the background suddenly stop. Mostly nitro sounds. For example: I shockwave, so the 'shockwave sound' starts... then when I'm still in shockwave the sound stops and I keep on shockwave on "mute". No sound for it anymore.

Another issue is when racing on MP (I noticed that on Team Pursuit mode). I keep hearing nitro sounds playing on the background when I'm NOT using nitro. So, it feels like I'm hearing other players starting nitro on the same MP race. I assumed that, because it's doesn't happen only once, but multiple times during a single race. It's like I could hear all the nitro sounds not activated by me and, at the same time, my own nitro sounds.

[full bay]

game isnt letting me connect to gameloft id, i just wanna merge my ipad progress lol

[solemn roost]

broo samee

how do u know even has access to the community button?

[latent maple]

What age did you put in game?

[full bay]

19

[alpine jasper]

People who got into the game early got every keys for free.

This one is for people who were late and couldn’t bother waking up 3:00 am in the night.

How is this a fair game? Some of the players got the key for free with no 6* car restrictions. And rest are stuck, apparently you guys @uncut spruce at Gameloft fixed it with a 2 hours late patch.

Why don’t you @uncut spruce make it a fair game? Remove the restrictions for rest of the players who weren’t up at 3:00 am in the night??

[twin geyser]

bruh those lucky asian sweats, it's like 5/6/7pm over there at that time

yeah unfair tbh

[fringe otter]

They better revoke key rewards for those players who don’t have 6 stars.

[alpine jasper]

That works for a fair game as well.
There you go @uncut spruce that’s a 2nd option.

[cold iris]

@uncut spruce The 3rd option could be to reduce the required stars to, let's say, 3 or 4 stars. This way players could at least try to get the key after this episode where thousands unlock all of them with the car at 1 star.

That would be a nice gesture to the player base who are currently really frustrated with the many bugs and glitches in this new version of the game. Please, consider that.

[spring pewter]

@latent maple @uncut spruce I am having problem in starting the game and after finishing race its not connecitng to server

see

Please fix

i am stuck

see this

[latent rivet]

Same for me!

[wary ocean]

My name was changed to “Driver” because of “new rules regarding names.” It let me change it back to RawFusion. What’s wrong with that, did it offend the fission community or something??

[hollow coral]

didn't get any series score in team persuit, even though security (the team i was in) won

[robust girder]

yaa it doesnt give any points

points are onlygiven for the syndicate team

[latent rivet]

Happened to me when I'm the only one on security team (others disconnected or didn't kd anyone)

[long parcel]

yep, 100% agree

[spring bough]

Any reason why 120 fps isnt unlocked on macbooks?

[limber owl]

60 GHz

Okay... okay
How many times will you give the players next time? 50 of these things?

[spring bough]

what? 😭
are you trying to say my (inbuilt) screen has 60Hz (which isnt true, it has 120 Hz) or are you saying something else

[limber owl]

MBP M1 Pro / Max?

[spring bough]

MBP m1 pro yea

[limber owl]

I'm sorry, I didn't think of it

120 GHz in games is unlikely to work on a Mac, since not even every device with 120 GHz will have the same "120FPS" button

[limber owl]

I think

[spring bough]

yea true 🤔
but other games still let me get 120 fps via V-sync

so adding that would be cool

[limber owl]

Windows ported games?

As from Steam?

[spring bough]

idk if ported is the right word
but yea from steam

[limber owl]

Then this is fine, since games on Windows are kind of "more open" in the settings

[spring bough]

i guess i can live with the 60 fps the game has rn

[glass raft]

After the latest update the game won't even open, it just stays like this

[wary ocean]

When it’s happened to me I’ve just left it open and it eventually loads. I know that’s not much but worth a try.

[eternal crag]

the loong loading happens only the very first time you open the game after the Legends unite update. As others mentioned, you just need to leave it open for a minute or two

damn... 120 GHz is wild

intel and amd jealous they just hit 6 GHz standard

[spring bough]

frrrr

[alpine jasper]

How do you get 120hz with Mac?

[spring bough]

on ALU? you cant i think? 😅

[eternal crag]

There is no 120hz on macOS

[round vine]

adrxsny has been warned

Reason: Posted a link

[alpine jasper]

[split moss]

Hey, is this still happening to you or anyone else?

[glass raft]

It loaded after half an hour and I tried opening it today too but I didn’t have the patience anymore

[split moss]

Gotcha, team is aware but will still report again regardless that this is still happening. Ty!

[spring bough]

idk if this has been mentioned before, or if anyone else has this issue, but the "claim" message on the daily goals tab doesn't have the yellow background like on iOS
I know this is just a small bug but it makes it difficult to see if you have something to claim

[spring pewter]

bro are the developers sleeping?

from so much time the club chat is not visible

no one is fixing it

[flint niche]

didnt they say there would be an update resolving performance issues?

[flint niche]

anyone can tell me if im correct?

[real fulcrum]

yes waiting for tht update

performance issues are on almost every device (unless u have a behemoth of a setup then u can't notice any difference except dropped frame rate)
but from at lst wht i've heard it's much worse on the mac version

[misty vigil]

same here

[split moss]

Is this still persisting?

[misty vigil]

Yea

[serene birch]

What age did you put when you started the game for the first time?
