Mac client crashing wow: forever

I created my character and when the loading screen finishes I end up with a full system crash. Happened twice now with both enhanced models selected and deselected.

This is a WoW forever issue so it’s fine posting it here.

In fact, I don’t think you’d get answers or noticed by blizzard nearly as quickly if you posted in the Mac only area.

Yup, there’s multiple other threads on it already (I posted on another one), same issue. Mac client doesn’t seem to work properly.

I am having the same issue. As soon as the blue load bar reaches the end, the game crashes. The game has also crashed my Mac twice.

There’s some sort of issue with WoW Forever and the Window Server Process. Other wow versions seem okay, just WoW Forever crashes Window Server in Mac OS.

Character creation works and when trying to enter the game it crashes and goes to the Mac OS login screen. After logging back in get the following error message:

“WindowServer experienced a problem”

this is a bummer. I get it’s a beta but they should have been on top of this and did testing. If the beta was free then fine that’s fair but this is a paid for beta…

Game crashes relentlessly, (at least 5 times so far) after enormously long loading screens on my M4 processor Mac.
