Weird Freezing issue

[misterjuly]

Hello,

I don't know if this is a Playmaker, Unity, or computer issue, but whenever I build my game (for Mac), run it, then change the volume of all things (using the volume keys on my computer), it freezes to a point where I have to force power off my entire computer then power it back on and it works fine. I was having some other issues with my computer before that I think I fixed (by calling Apple), but it seems to happen when I hit the volume keys. I tried changing the volume that way in the unity editor or anywhere else on my computer and no problems. My computer is not very powerful in terms of ram (only 8 GB I believe), but Ive never had this issue before. Not sure what's going on, but any advice at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi.
So after you restarted, your build worked normal?

if so it might be something with your computer.
i can be the Ram or Cpu in most cases.

but its hard to say.

No, my computer worked normal after restarting, but not my build. Well my build works fine until I change the volume on the key board. Still think its a ram/CPU issue? It is just weird that I wasn't having this problem until after I had problems with my computer. And why the volume keys of all things? Any thoughts on that? Also, is there a way to improve CPU/Ram? Its a MacBook Air 2019. Thanks!

Now it’s working. Maybe my computer just needed to rest over night. Thanks!

Hi.
If you have a infinite loop happening it can also cause issues.
But usually you should get error messages in the editor as well.

No errors in the editor (at least that I've seen). Also, now my computer's freezing whenever I try to exit out of the build (I right click on the application and hit quit to cause it to happen). Then I have to power off and on my computer. I've never had this issue before recently, have done it plenty of times. I'm guessing it boils down to a weak computer because I have had lots of lagging in the past. I recently built the game for a friend who has Linux and had to change a few settings around. None of them should have affected the Mac version, but I am just wondering because these issues started around the same time. Probably just coincidence, but I wasn't sure if you had any thoughts. Thanks!
