tModLoader runs terribly on new M4 MBA
tModLoader is running awfully slow (low framerates, literal slowdown - most basic you can get) on my M4 13" MacBook Air (base mdoel). I think this is due to the fact that gamemode doesn't get enabled because macOS doesn't recognise tModLoader as a game. I tried some funky terminal commands but to no avail.
base terraria runs fine, especially when "Game Mode" gets enabled, which is when macOS detects a game being played in full screen (does not recognise tMod as stated).
running very few mods (just Overhaul and Calamity) - this performance is comparable to my last PC, in which I could only run 1.4.4 tMod in windowed, but I can't even do that here as nothing changes, and the way fullscreen optimisations work on mac is weird (mac's fullscreen directly conflicts with Terraria's window settings)
