  • Issue Date: 1 Sep 2025

  • Error Message: N/A

  • Details: When the MacBook is disconnected from power and is running on battery a message can appear that says

    “The power cable is disconnected.
    Using battery will limit performance and drop your framerate.
    If you want a smooth gameplay experience, connect the cable!”

    This is very annoying as it can happen every 15~30 seconds and there appears to be no way of disabling it. Although performance may not be as good I just want to play my game away from the wall :sweat_smile:

Is there a way to reduce these or make it into a toggle? Thanks!!

Hi @nadozza, sorry for the inconvenience.
The message appears too frequently when the power cable is not connected, and we understand this may disrupt your gameplay experience. :psycat_sad:
We’re aware and looking into it. We’ll provide any updates we get in this thread.
Thanks!

Hi @nadozza ,
We’ve adjusted warning message frequency with v0.3.5.

  • (Mac Only) Adjusted warning message frequency when MacBook power cable is disconnected.
    ※ [inZOI Team’s Comment] This message was added to inform players of potential performance degradation when the power cable is not connected.
    However, since it was confirmed to appear too frequently, the interval has been adjusted to display only once every three hours.

Thank you!
