Since the last patch the game has suffered a massive performance drop - unless I bring all the graphic settings way down I am getting major spikes in latency. This is outside the context of multiplayer, just playing single player.

I had previously used Metal to fine tune the graphics to where I was getting constant 30 Fps which I was fine with, but after the most recent patch those setting don't seem to be valid anymore - and as I progress into the game that performance is getting worse and worse.

And I am only at Grymforge.

I am concerned that Baldur's Gate itself will be unplayable at this rate.

edit: I get why Larian did this, it's to get the MacOS patches out quicker. However the trade off is you screw over a large percentage of Mac users by dropping support. it's also disappointing they didn't bother to announce this change or provide a pathway for us to play the game on older patches that supported the old architecture better.
