Hi everyone,

When I try to start a match on FIFA 14 the game stutters a lot, both video and audio. The game starts to stutter before the match during the mini-game while the match is loading, and it keeps stuttering during the scene of the teams entering the field and throughout the match, making it unplayable. This does not happen in game home menu, where the game is instead smooth.

The serial of the FIFA 14 game I've tried to emulate is BLES01876 and its version is 01.00

I'm running RPCS3 version: 0.0.27-15003-f11770b8 Alpha | master

Running it on my M1 Macbook Air 2020 equipped with 8-core CPU and 7-GPU, 16GB RAM, macOS 13.3.1

Log file is attached.

This is normal, the FIFA games are hard to run due to the SPU Job Manager that they use and the M1 alongside the overhead of Rosetta and moltenVK are going to result in a bad experience in your case. The only way to 'fix' it is to buy a better computer, or wait and see if RPCS3 gets better ARM support and a Linux distro becomes available for the M1.
