    Hi,

    For those of you who are Mac users, have you had an issue with Unity where it just froze and your Macbook Pro had to force restart itself? I have experienced this problem twice already, so I was wondering how to deal with this issue.

    Thanks for the help,

    V.

    It's doing this issue when I test run the game and click pause.

    No, I use a MacBook Pro and I've never had this issue.

    EDIT: Though the first thing I do in any project is turn "Metal Editor" off. I find Metal to be extremely unstable and crashy. Maybe that's why I'm not seeing the problem that you see.

    Hi Joe,

    Thanks for responding to me. Where do I go to turn off the Metal Editor?

    I am also a macbook pro user but haven't got such a problem before.
    What kind of kit have you used? Because I was told that game assets may effect on this as well. That's why I may ask you again - what kind of kits (assets) have you used? Check out https://craftpix.net/categorys/2d-game-kits/ as a legal option and you may solve it easily.

    In the Editor, go to menu: Edit > Project Settings > Player and enable/disable Metal Editor Support from there.

    Hello,

    Sorry for just replying now. I was using the 2D Game Kit, which is a platformer with a character named Ellen
