Describe your issue: Graphics Issues - Screen freezing on camera angle change
What is your game version? 1.13.1-f1
What expansions do you have installed? None.
What mods are you using? None.
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Problem 1:
While playing Cities Skylines (no mods, no expansion, freshly installed 2 hours ago) the screen is flickering. Black frames appear now and then. I'd guess about every 4 to 20 seconds at irregular intervals. That's the smaller problem.
Problem 2:
Occasionally, while changing the camera-angle by clicking the scroll-wheel or using keyboard, the graphic output freezes. Not just the game's but of the whole computer's graphic output is frozen. In the background everything is running fine. The monitor itself seems not to be the issue as I can access the monitor's menu without any problems. If I restart the monitor or un- and replug the HDMI-cable, the graphic output is no more frozen.
What I tried (and it didn't work):
- restarting the computer
- running game in windowed mode
- changing all the graphics settings (from low to high, trying different resolutions)
- disable steam overlay
- forcing the game to use Metal Engine (-force-gfx-metal in steam launch-options)
- changed screen resolution (scaling the ui) in macOS settings
Hard- and Software used:
- Computer: Mac mini (M1, 2020) with Apple M1 chip + 16gb ram
- OS: macOS Big Sur 11.0.1
- Monitor: LG 4k 32UK550/UL500; Resolution 3840x2160/60Hz connected with HDMI
Background info:
The screen freezing problem never appeared yet and seems to be only appearing in Cities: Skylines while changing the camera-angle. Apart from that, the Mac + the monitor are running fine for weeks now.
Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
Black frames appear all the time.
Changing the camera-angle forces the graphic output freezing occasionally. If I do not change the camera-angle the game runs without freezing the screen.
