My Mac mini M4 received GTA5 video from a Windows laptop running Sunshine. The RTX 3050 Ti Laptop had 4 GiB of dedicated VRAM. Troubleshooting occurred on August 30–31, with observations through September 15; the publication date follows the KB's first Git commit on September 15.
The main correction is causal: process crashes, encoder wait timeouts, and color banding are separate failures. High VRAM use is evidence to investigate, while HAGS remains a hypothesis without a matched system-level on/off experiment.
