X-Plane 11 Steam crashes on Macbook Air M1

Im not sure if this is the right forum, but just to post here if there is anyone experience similar issues so hear me out! Ive got this log file after the app is unable to run, im using MBA M1, 8GB RAM with the latest Ventura OS. Hopefully I might be able to solve this issue, its really bugging me, i just bought it and there is nothing i can do about it. Ive seen others who are able to run xplane11 without crashing to desktop on a similar base model macbook air m1

Hi there feeq79,

If a third-party app, like X-Plane, isn't working as expected on your MacBook Air, you'll want to try these steps to see if they resolve the issue for you:

1. Quit and reopen the app

Quit the app, then open it again. If the app won't quit, force the app to quit. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

2. Restart your Mac

Restart your Mac. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

3. Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, then click Updates. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your Mac. Or if you didn't get the app from the App Store, look for updates to the app on the app developer's website. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

4. Reinstall the app

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. If you didn't get the app from the App Store, redownload the app on the app developer's website. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

You'll find those steps here: If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support

If the issue persists beyond that, reaching out to the app developer is the next best step. They're best-equipped to provide some additional guidance about what may be happening with their app. This link will help you get started: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

Take care.
