Oh I thought I was the only one with this issue! None of the teammates Iāve mentioned it to have noticed it.
To me it looks like the images jump out of frame on top of the screen, I noticed this with Novaās Ult, the visual line went vertical and then back into normal. Almost like it is two maps on top of each other and it doesnāt know which to line up too.
I have noticed this with every character Iāve used and on every map, more so on Blackhearts and Battlefield.
But clearly it is a Mac issue. I hope it gets fixed soon cuz I miss the game.
MacBook Pro (2012) - Catalina - 10.15.2

you know this is actually just getting hurtful.
they have known about the issue for months.
Then they tell us they are going to fix itā¦ but I really dont think they are doing anything to fix it.
Just tell us if you are not going to do anything about this issueā¦ Dont let us linger

Can U Blizz just be honest and tell us, youāre not going to fix this? Just let us know we will never can play HOTS again. Where are community managers? They reply 1 time per month
I switched from High Sierra to Mojave to fix this bug, but they are still there. Blackheartās Bay is so glitchy that I can hardly play. I also see the glitches in Volskaya Foundry, Dragon Shire, Alterac Pass, and Sky Temple. The rest of them are ok. I have tried switching shadows and other graphic settings, but nothing works.
My operating system specs:
Mojave 10.14.6
Macbook Air
1.3 GHz Intel core i5
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB
I donāt quite understand these glitches. Everything was fine in September or so. Now there are so many graphic bugs that havenāt been fixed!

mac mini (late 2012 model), icore7 processer, 16gb ram graphics is a intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 mb. This disappearing and reappearing glitch that has hit the macintosh computer is extremely difficult to adapt to. The glitch seems āgraphicalā in nature since in certain cases there is a turret or other structure missing, or else the whole reappearing/disappearing minions/mercs/heroes/enemies happens. And itās not just 1 specific map, it seems to be spread across the various maps that heroes of the storm hosts. We donāt need a temporary fix, we need a full fix. And for that to happen you have to understand what we, are going through Blizzard. Iāve only seen one game in my history of gaming that has had some slight issues, but we found out through the developer of that game, that the graphical bug was due to some unforeseen glitch on their side. This graphical error makes it extremely troublesome not only to heal, or fight, but to consistently play. Itās also a modest danger for people with prior history of epileptic seizures due to the jarring, unorganized way that it is happening. The fact the heroes/minions/mercs and enemies jump and disappear/reappear, ācouldā have some psychological retriggering for seizures. I know games are typically designed for seizure protection, but this graphical error that we are receiving ācouldā send synapses of reflective motion that ācouldā reflectively trigger a seizure attack. Please address this concern, if not for the visual improvement, but for the health and wellness of us players.

Blizzard please at least respond with some kind of information. Anything. Even ābuzz off weāre not fixing itā would be better than nothing. Hots is my favorite moba, I play every day.

Iām hoping this thread is still being watched, since itās an ongoing bug.
I wanted to add my 2 cents, just came out of a match on Hanamura where this bug was present. Not as bad as usual, but present nonetheless.
However I believe the character models are not actually disappearing, but falling through the floor.
I came to this conclusion because I was playing Blaze using his āSmoldering Fel Reaverā skin.
There is a blink-and-youāll-miss-it ādropā to the models as they disappear, but I noticed the exhausts on Blazeās back would stick out a little through the floor when he disappeared while mountedā¦
Iām hoping this helps root out the cause to this issue.
Mac Specs:
iMac 21.5in Late 2013
OS High Sierra
2.7GHz Intel Core i5

Intel Iris Pro 1536mb
just be honest and tell us nothing is being done about it. Iām really sick of it since itās been going on since September. At this point i refuse to believe that Blizzard is even tryān to work out the problem. If this problem would have been on a Windows platform the problems would have been solved with a month tops!

YO! just wanted to post with the cool kids, trying to get a buddyās mac book ready to go for his travels. Same issue,
Mac book
blah
blah
blah
same as everyone else,
Kudos to mac for not allowing independent driver updates, butā¦
double Kudos to Blizz, you all know why
So here is a half way solution, it doesnāt exactly address the core issue (the OS drivers for the video card rendering and tracking motion) but basically, crank your graphics up to 11ā¦
Then work backwards from the top end, it doesnāt solve the disappearing camps and jumping mobs, but it does provide a more constant game play experience.
So, with everyone up turn, down the shaders and shadows which are the primary reasons for the models not, drop your resolution, youāll gotta adjust your gamma and such to hop in this way back machine. but basically, make it look like warcraft 2, then the models donāt take a one way trip to destination Fād.
Seems silly and I just wanted to make a huge toast, but you can tweak your in game settings working backwards from the top to strike a happy mediumish, where the drivers communicate with game engine, all be it in cave manā¦
āproblems canāt be solved by the same level of thinking that created themā
-Tact
Iām stealing it now
A new patch has just been released, so Iām sure this game-breaking bug has been fixed, right? I mean, thereās no way Blizzard would leave a game-breaking bug unfixed for 4 months, right? Right?ā¦

I reluctantly quit HOTS 4-5 months ago because of this issue. Simply couldnāt play with it. Came back today after reinstalling and was saddened to find it is still an issueā¦why :(ā¦
I guess Blizzard just isnāt a company we can trust anymore. They āusedā to put huge emphasis on making their games compatible on both Windows and Mac. Also, maybe the Mac experts has been transferred or fired, wouldnāt surprise me. Been playing WoW since 2005 and WC3 and D2 before that. I really feel this company Iāve grown up with has shown me the love and respect I deserve these last few months on HoTS (
