Constantly crashes during headshot kills (?) on MacOS

[soarx]

I spent about 120 hours in the game and it was pretty stable. But recently I've got a very annoying and painful issue: the game constantly crashes when I kill enemies. I don't know what exactly causes this. It happens in different locations, during different quests. Currently, I'm finishing gigs before the last main line quest. But what I know, it happens inside buildings, when I'm going to make a headshot. If I jump around with a shotgun in the same location, everything is good. So I believe it is related to some specific effect related to the stealth headshot kills. The same happens with the knife, but less often. I'm wondering if it is related to some perks that I've got at the end of the game. Or implants. Also I tried different graphic settings, for example, disabled Metal3D, but nothing helps.
Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated. I really want to finish it.

Here is the short video:

I'm on 2.3.0 (I heard 2.3.1 is not stable, so I'm not upgrading), MacOS 15.7 (the same was on 15.6), Apple M4 Max.

Hi,
Quite annoying
Yes, it's possible the game crashes because of a specific perk, a cyberware, a weapon or an attachment (or a specific combination of them). I remember after the 2.0 update, a specific attachment on katanas inevitably cause crashes when performing a strong attack. So yes it's possible and it could be a bit tricky to figure out what cause the crash.
Did you try with various weapons if the game always crash? Like different handguns or a sniper riffle or a knife, with different (or no) attachment, etc..
You can also try to refound every perk which seems more or less related to head shot, stealth damage or flat damages.

Anyway, you should directly send a ticket to the support for help, but I guess the first thing they will ask you, it's if your game is up to date. So you will have to install the last update (with a bit of luck the issue is fixed or at least, no longer occure on the last version).

And it’s certainly possible that the issue is caused by a particular perk, or a weapon or specific cyberware, so changing these things might be worth a shot.
