WOW not playable since pre-patch. Did all the usual fixes. (Trust me, after 18 years, I am pretty used to this). Including re-installing on every login. But nothing works, the game is unplayable.
Is it simply not runable on a slightly older iMac ?
Not keen on spending couple thousand on a new computer … just to run WOW.
I don’t run a Mac, but I notice you don’t mention your storage.
One new part of this for DF is that SSD is the minimum standard. Spinning rust is just not fast enough any more. And your symptoms sound like poor I/O speed to me.
