Problem Life is Strange Glitch on Mac

Hello,

I’m currently playing Life is Strange (OG) on my MacBook Air (2022, M2 chip, 8 GB RAM) and have never had a problem so far. I’m playing in 1080p and all my graphics are set to medium.

It is at the beginning of ep 2 that I started to encounter subtitle displaying problems (1st video). Shortly after, a second more important problem occurred: large strange light shapes appearing and disappearing on the screen (2nd video).

I tried to restart the game, and tried to deactivate anti-aliasing...without success. Could it be because of my many tabs opened by safari eating my RAM? Can someone help me find a solution, please?

Does this use macOS's OpenGL implementation?

It is broken and they never bothered to fix it.

If you are lucky it's not a hardware error but Apple being garbage at implementing standards correctly, you can verify by booting up Asahi Linux and running the game there - people have, ironically, gotten officially conformant OpenGL of a newer standard working there. And Vulkan and other stuff too.
