SC2 Crashing on MacOS Catalina with Radeon Graphics

I went ahead and closed the other thread and moved everyone over to a new thread since Catalina is now live.

@Niktopolion, I was able to find a few different crashes. Most of it was related to the Metal API and the kernel. Could you try OpenGL to see if it may help with the crashes? Go to Options (Press ESC) > Graphics (Default tab) and change the Render API to Open GL 4.1 (Beta).

I did not find crash reports on our end, Lele and SmothermonAK. If by chance the crashes are immediately after launch with the “quit unexpectedly” error, there were some issues with the computer name where changing it did help in these situations. Here are the steps.

Otherwise, would you both be able to include a crash log when the crash occurs? How often are the crashes, does it crash randomly mid game or during certain times?
