Very loud fan noise on Macbook Pro M2
Today I installed the game and played for 90 minutes.
The fan started working on the character creation screen at full speed and continued making unacceptable noise for the whole playtime. I lowered the graphical settings to medium and then went forward and disabled Anti-aliasing and tried FSR and fullscreen mode.
Nothing helped.
My screen resolution is 2K. I capped the refresh rate to 60.

that is worrying, it works fine on M1. Maybe they can fix it.

Did you find a solution? I have the same issue on my M1 Max, 32 core GPU, 64 GB ram.
Fan at full speed on the character creation screen and continued making unacceptable noise during the game. I do heavy music and video production on this computer, this is the loudest the fans have been. Changing settings didn't help for me either.

It gets better if you lower the settings (I used custom/medium and 1080p resolution) and cap the refresh rate to 30.

It was very loud on my new MacBook Pro M2 too. It 'only' became acceptable to me by going to the lowest graphic settings. This wasn't what I had in mind what I read the MacBook requirements according to Steam.
