I’d make sure to lower the settings on your MacBook. Also, consider getting a free temperature monitoring tool. I’m using SystemPal on my MacBook Pro. Based on the 2012 model, it might struggle with performance, so I’d look into upgrading to a custom desktop or a gaming laptop if possible.
MacBooks (and other laptops) are designed to handle heat safely. Initially, they may reduce performance to prevent damage. If temperatures rise further, the device will shut down automatically to avoid any harm. You might want to lower in-game settings for extra protection.
It's feasible, but you may need to adjust certain game settings. Consider upgrading if possible. If not, try reducing ambient temperatures (like using a jacket) or use a laptop stand with a fan. Also, playing on low settings isn't the worst approach—especially since my laptop generates a lot of heat.
