[Mac] Game crashes on startup

Mine is saying a fatal error has occurred. The Battlenet app lets me complete the scan and says there is nothing to repair. It says there are no updates too.

Crashes at the same place each time - the authentication screen. When working, the indicator spins, but today the Authentication Screen has no spinning and crashes almost immediately

Crashes at the same time as everyone else. Same thing played this morning came back could not. I am a Mac User as well. I notice one thing different though when its says connecting the symbol next to connect doesn’t move, it usually does for me.

I too have the same issue. A9C169AD-6B0D-4455-9A5D-8C51956BD9C6

Something related to the BlizzardBrowser.app:

Tested on another Mac with an older version of the Battle.net launcher and it also did not work. So its broken in:

Battle.net version 2.21.1.14206

and

Battle.net version 2.22.0.14235

Tested on M1 Ultra and x86 Macs, broken in both.

Diablo 3 also freezes and I’m unable to exit.

Hearthstone works.

Same issue here, played two days ago with no issues running Catalina 10.15.7 iOS.
Scanned files, reinstalled game, restarted computer/battlenet and no luck.

Hello again everyone,

Thank you all for the reports and error codes that have been shared. We have passed along the info to our engineers and they are investigating the source of these crashes affecting all MacOS versions.

At the moment we do not have a work around to prevent the crash, but once we have have more info to share we will provide an update in this thread.

Must be really difficult to reverse whatever you did to the login servers.

In such complicated software as Blizzard has you should consider all services, apps and dependencies between them before doing a rollback.
Sometimes it’s not easy to just rollback a deployment that caused a bug without rolling back other recently released features and/or potentially affecting other services that might depend on these features.
So usually it comes down to evaluating pros and cons of a rollback.
In this case it seems like a feature that they introduced yesterday has more value than users affected by the bug. So perhaps rollback is not possible (or not preferable) and they have to properly fix the bug, which takes some time.

What’s fascinating is that they appear to have made a server-side change that completely broke HOTS, Diablo III, and maybe other games for all Mac users. The fact that this easily detected outcome was not caught in testing says a lot about their QA and release cycle.

Hey all,

As some of you have discovered already, some changes were made on the back-end to alleviate the crashes when logging in with the Mac client. You should all be able to launch the game and resume playing.

Apologies for the interruption! Thank you all for hanging in there and do let us know if any new issues arise.
