OSX Still not stable - Game FREEZES

Screen freezes during large engagements and you are eventually dropped from game, network connection is fine. This is direct result of that last terrible patch. Game was perfect and now its completely broken.

2017 fully loaded iMac all settings always Ultra. Game crashed on LOWEST gfx settings also.

PLEASE FIX THIS AND TEST FUTURE PATCHES BETTER.

bump? Trying to get the issue some visibility…

I’m experiencing the same thing. I get a black screen with just a hint of game sound and then I need to restart my computer. Terrible for people that want play Starcraft on Mac. I have a brand new iMac BTW. Has anyone filed a bug?

I’ve been trying to get Blues attention now for a while. One responded a couple days ago in the other thread below this one.

Bump Blue. Game still freezing the system during mid to late game engagements on Mojave 10.4.6. Annnnnyyything or should I just give up and move on?

you could install windows on it and run dual systems. then you can run starcraft 2 in windows.

i am experiencing the same problem since the last patch. before it was working for like 2 years fine on my iMac.

random crashes during the gameplay, internet connection is fine becuase on skype i can still talk. game freezes, cannot force quit or anything, just able hear the sound and skype. need to hard reset computer.

reinstalling the game and cleaning all caches did not help. lowering graphic settings also not.

I have the exact same issue. Re-installing does not help.

anyone got any information from BLizzard Support about this?

Blizzard told me that my computer was throttling and to contact Apple! Yeah, right! I even increased my memory in my new iMac and still this is a big problem. Maybe if enough of us file a bug report:

https://us.battle.net/support/en/help/product/starcraft/1209/1231/ticket

Exactly the same thing happening to me. I might be able to play a game or two, but it will freeze mid-game, sometimes I get a hint of sound, sometimes not, and I eventually have to turn off my computer.

I was able to get a crash report last night when it eventually snapped out of it, and booted me out of the SC program, but this is a rare occasion. I’ll place it at the bottom of this post.

I went so far as to completely reset my computer back to factory settings, reinstalled Mojave 10.14.6, and StarCraft 2, and it’s still crashing just as often! Please note, I only ever run the game at medium settings for less distractions.

4.2 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Radeon Pro 580 8 GB

SC2 is the only game I play, please resolve!
