Mythic+ still unplayable, game freezes for 20 seconds on every single pull. Unbelievable how it was as smooth as ever before 8.3 launched. I’m at my wits end having just cancelled my sub with an explanation w/ a link to this thread.

While in battlegrounds, dungeons, and occasionally while questing, my game will “beachball”. In instances, (on average every 5 minutes but it can be random) wow will freeze for 15-30 seconds, then catch up. Just long enough to wipe my team/group on my disc priest…
My whole comp crashed a few times, and I’ve attempted a number of unsuccessful interface graphics setting alterations. It’s pretty annoying, and like why wasn’t this tested on an entire operating system before release lol?
Regardless I believe bliz didn’t forsee this, and I hope they can fix it soon
Didn’t they let go of 800 QA and other positions at the behest of Activision a few months back? Seems this is exactly what they are ok with on the upper levels.
Thanks for the continued reports, everyone! Our team may have found a resolution, but it’s not set on when the update/fix will be pushed to the live client. We will update this thread when the fix is live.
no idea why the hell it is crashing so much after the update to 8.3! why isn’t there a detailed guide for steps to collect diagnostic information and post somewhere… DO NOT PLAY this game if you have Mac you will lose almost all the Horrific Vessels… just SAVE them!
I was just able to complete 4 horrific visions without the crash or even any stutters. However, before that, I got the stutter for about 10 seconds, no crash, in heroic mechagon junkyard just before Trixie & Naeno.
Turned my graphic settings way, way, way down. Just tried a mythic 0. Got to the first boss, froze for 5-10 seconds twice during the fight. Made it through, on the second small trash pull everything froze, got the rainbow wheel, and crashed. This game is literally unplayable. I’m probably a fool for even attempting at this point. If it’s not fixed soon, I’m unsubscribing until I hear or see that this is fixed. Cannot believe I’m paying for something that I can’t use
Thank you for the reply, but you don’t know when…lol. Thank you for working so hard to fix it, but please…please don’t make us wait until Monday so you guys can take the weekend off.

Symptom: Game freezes then computer crashes within 2 minutes of logging on
Like every other Mac users, I have been experiencing several lags and crashes issues since 8.3’s launch. It seems to be more frequent when surrounded by AOEs like during a boss fight.
As you can imagine it is really annoying since we were all very excited for the new content, and also cause we pay a lot of money to play this game.
We should get some kind of compensation in my opinion, thank you!
Oh update to my/our problem. I messed with my graphic settings and now my blurryness is gone (yay even though I didn’t really consider this to be a problem).
I have had two characters make it through hall of origination scenario without computer crashing (not really sure what I did to fix this)
Characters “stuttering”/game temporarily freezing hasn’t gone away yet (happens everywhere: scenarios, open world, instances). My main problem currently is I can’t play battlegrounds. I get into battleground and everything is fine until a fight starts. My computer doesn’t crash, but when you freeze during each fight that pretty much makes battlegrounds unplayable.
Look you have a serious probelm with this update and Mac computers. Now i have lost the opportunity to complete this visions thing more than 4 times because you made an update that crashes in every macbook.
You have even been aware for more than 4 days of the problem and nothing has been done to be fixed or even possible time or date to get it fixed
How can we get a reimbursement for the days i have lost and the progress that was suppose to be achieve, each time i go into a vision, dungeon, pvp battleground the computer freezes and mac crashed and it restarts. Even with all my video settings at low.
