*Platform: macOS (MacBook Pro M1)
*Game Version: Warcraft III Reforged – latest patch (2.0+)
Issues experienced:
- Menu Lag / UI Performance:
The main menu is still extremely laggy. Switching to the Classic background version helps slightly, but the lag is still present in menu and makes the game hard to navigate—especially in Reforged mode, where the menu becomes almost completely unusable. This has been a persistent issue for Mac users and hasn’t improved much with recent patches. - In-game Performance on Mac (M1):
General game performance is extremely poor on Mac devices. This includes lower frame rates and frequent UI stutter, both in menus and in-game. - Minimap Not Working:
The minimap appears completely black in-game, making it impossible to use. This is a critical gameplay issue that significantly affects the user experience. - Battle Chest Content Still Locked:
I purchased the Warcraft Battle Chest (which includes Warcraft I, II, and III), but Warcraft I and II are still unavailable to play.
When can we expect access to these titles? Or should we request a refund?
Conclusion:
Please consider prioritizing performance improvements for Mac users, especially those on Apple Silicon. These issues have persisted for a long time and are still unresolved, despite recent updates. The visual improvements and new patches are appreciated, but the game remains nearly unplayable on Mac due to these technical problems.
I would also appreciate a clear update regarding access to Warcraft I & II from the Battle Chest purchase.
