I have an M3 mac running on Sonoma. I have to turn all the bloom settings off. Also, you can not reinstall the game because it does not recognize the disk size. You can restore from a time machine backup if you have one. ZOS will not support the Apple chips so the game is on borrowed time.
I run the launcher natively, and use the java routine to update minion. Like I say, borrowed time.
For my experience, M1 iMac, full screen ESO automatically triggers Game Mode (I get the alert) -but- the little green button for turning game mode on/off never appears.
I have all kinds of tweaks made to the graphics settings in order get acceptable FPS and image quality. Everything is a trade-off.
Playing on an external screen at its native resolution, on a Macbook Pro M1 Max and the latest Sonoma, leaving the Mac screen open, poses no problems with fairly advanced settings. Game mode kicks in automatically, and fps are decent.
The heat dissipates well and the fans are barely audible.
