Football Manager for Mac on Steam keeps crashing?

[FelixForte]

Hi all. I keep trying to start Football Manager through Steam on my MacBook Pro (running Ventura 13.1). The game will open and the branded load screens occur, but afterwards I get a 'fm quit unexpectedly' error. 

The error code is as below. I haven't updated my OS recently, although it may be the case that FM was updated (to version 23.4?). Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Check that Steam has full disk access, causes an issue when it tries to read the saved games to display the info at the main menu but can't because the games are stored in a separate folder tree that Steam doesn't have permissions for. Enable the disk access, validate files in Steam and then open the game again. If that doesn't work then if you raise a ticket here someone should be able to help you:
