I have Radeon Pro Vega 20 and basically haven’t been to play since September update! Now i just get a red screen almost immediately after loading households. Ive tried everything even using this https://gfx.io/ which is the only thing making it playable until it ultimately crashes again after awhile.

Still hoping this will be addressed in the upcoming patch

I second what BirteMn says. Same thing is happening to me and same time frame too. Ive tried everything listed in the workaround including upgrading to Big Sur which actually made the gameplay no different (as in it still had the graphical issues) but the computer doesn't lock up like it did in previous OS Catalina, i would have to fully reboot as the whole system was locked and even force close was not force closing, now on Big Sur in windowed mod I am able to force close and run apps in background easier. Unfortunately I will have to stop playing as the graphical issues/lag are just not worth the headache right now.
Specs:
Mac OS Big Sur 11.0.1 beta
Processor: 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core 9
Memory: 32 GB
Graphics: Inetel UHD Graphics 630 / Radeon Pro Vega 20 (have turned off auto graphic switching and have gfxcardstatus installed)
All packs except Batuu, mods/no mods make no difference on the graphics issues

Which specific model Mac do you have? I don't think Vega GPUs were ever an option in the 16" MBP range but were in the 2019 15" MBP.This thread is very specific to the 16" MBP range as they have had serious issues playing the game for over a year, not just since September. moved to the Vega thread.

My bad, you're correct, I do have MBP 15".
