Please, do something about it.
Everyday it just gets more annoying.
How come that didn’t happen before at all.
It happens to me on Blackheart’s Bay (still after last patch).
Volskaya never see top mercs, nor they’re base rounded-platform. Lots of flickering in most maps in general. I think this doesn’t happen on dragon shrine nor hanamura, but it would be cool to test it before it’s believed to be finally solved.
4th december and its still the same. Thought it was just my computer until I noticed you people have the same problem. I got an iMac 21,5 inches from late 2013.
2.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

macOS Catalina version 10.15
I really love HotS but this problem is causing that feeling to go long way…
Please solve this Blizzard!
I got excited when I saw that there were Mac bug fixes for 49.0, including a specific mention of Blackheart’s Bay. But every map I’ve played since 49.0 has had the same graphics glitch that has made these games very unenjoyable:
- Blackheart’s Bay is still unplayable on the bottom
- Hanamura is often glitchy, especially near the center of the map
- Volskaya Foundry often has issues especially near the cores
Other maps too, but those 3 are the ones that make my heart sink the most when I get them on QM.
I play on an iMac running high Sierra, and since the replacement of Open GL by Metal for graphic rendering of the game, I’m facing things like, random freezes, frame rate saccade who lead to micro disconnections (things that I’ve never had before). but the weird thing is that the first game of the day always goes really fluent and very well, but once I play a second game, the troubles appear. To fix it I must disconnect the game and log back in. Now after each match I disconnect to avoid the issues. It’s really annoying.
Ive got the same problem even after 49.0 except a specific flickering
on the backgrounds, but the heroes and minions are bouncing up and then
suddenly vanish from the map, or sometimes it is just a blindspot and you cant target anyone. Also sometimes a wall is missing or a well, and sometimes even a fort or keep is invisible and impossible to target.

I have lost hope that this will ever be fixed.

Definitely still active after Toys patch. Does seem like it might have improved on some maps, but Blackheart’s Bay is still completely unplayable, Volskaya is still pretty problematic (eg some of the fort-walls are missing from the start of the match).
Update: Alterac and Battle of Eternity also almost unplayable.

Seems that Blizzard is just ignoring this…
Haven’t seen any updates or replies after the recent updates and no fix in sight.
Blizzard could at least give some kind of reply except of the same old “we are investigating…”
I think I have a similar issues or worse !
running Mac OS Catalina 10.15.1on a 2017 Mac
Ever since installing the latest patch I have been unable to play the game.
I have an issues with my mouse - meaning that the mouse pointer is confined to top corner of the screen, top left. same issues when trying the track pad. Also, I’ve tried my mouse in other games including star craft and have not had this issue. The other problem is when issuing Alt tab to go back to my desktop while the game is running. if I do this get a black screen and cant go back to either desktop or game. I end up having to restart. this again has been tested with other games and no similar issues. I’ve also uninstalled and reinstalled the game and the mouse issues was resolved once until I alt-tab the game again and then same issues came back. can this be resolved??? I can see its an issues ppl have had for ages…shame blizzard …

Is this just never going to be fixed? I’ve been playing with this bug for months, just read every comment on this thread and doesn’t even seem worth the time to put my Mac specs here…

It’s 2020, and still no fix? It’s been almost half a year since the bug was first reported.

FYI there is a more live thread that is worth following about the bug rather than this one. I think it is the same issue: Visual bugs since latest patch - #105 by macnasty-11679

There is nothing being done about this problem, since september. i actually spend some cash on some of the heroes, and now the game isn’t working like it’s suppose to do. But Blizzard couldn’t careless about the Mac users. Incredibly disappointing i’ve been a big fan of blizzard of the years. But this is downright disrespectful to your customers!

3 months… No changes…
Please Blizzard make something about this! If u propose a mac version of your game, it must works, otherwise is just a sad scam.

Hi Blizzard, please at least let us know if there is something being done to address the problem so ya Mac players can know if there is an expected return time - as of know, with the glitch, the game is unplayable.
The problem still remains, is there any chance that it’s gonna be fixed?

Same for the last few months… Have only played vs ai since. It seems to have something to do with the water. Only maps with water seem to be affected and Blackheart’s bay is the worst - nearly unplayable.

it has been more than 4 months now. you showed in the past, that you are capable to remove maps from rotation. this is critical issue that affects part of your playerbase. the solution is obvious, until this issue is not completely resolved. why are you not taking any steps to assure same quality to ALL the players?
