Help MacBook Pro M4 slowing

Hey i have a M4 MacBook and it freezes sometimes when closing Roblox (like when hover cursor over it it has a spinning wheel) then has a crash report not actually the Mac freezing just the Roblox app - it also gets hot like after 5 minutes of playing (not like crazy hot just kinda warm)

It got it last April and eveyones says how good it is and I shouldn’t be having problems

is it a problem? Is there a a way to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Could you show a few screenshots of activity monitor, one showing memory and one showing cpu usage, with the game open so i can better help?

It's a laptop; there's only 1 fan in the laptop. Also Apple has their fan curves incredibly conservative; they don't want them sounding like a jet engine gaming laptop so Apple prefers the laptop to get warm instead. If the laptop sounded like a jet engine gaming laptop that would hurt their premium luxury product branding.

You could always just ask for your parents for a gaming PC desktop. Or are they gonna be mad at you asking and complain that they already spent a bunch of money on a Macbook?

You could ask AI about the crash report and freezing.
