[Main Thread] Crashes on launch after maintenance Jan 24th

Hi Aethos, can you look at your gx.log and paste contents? Interested in the actual failure from your system.

I installed Monterey yesterday and now Iā€™m playing but its only a matter of time before even that OS wonā€™t work. So I will have to upgrade within a year. Maybe I will just give in and buy a Windows machine. More specs for 1/3 price.

Well, boys, I have a late 2013 iMac that was on 10.15.7

I updated to Ventura 13.2 using OpenCore.

Itā€™s quite amazing and fast on my old machine!!!

I start up Battlenet, click updateā€¦

The Play button is ready, so I click itā€¦

and CRASHā€¦

Slightly different, it actually brings up a black WoW screen before crashing.

looking at the logs, it is a Metal problem.

Their choosing to use that feature level was almost certainly not an accident.

There are a lot of bug reports about video issues (stuttering, unreasonably low FPS, artifacting) and that may have been part of an attempted fix.

They probably didnā€™t realize they needed some alternative answer (or at least a harmless exception path) for earlier versions of MacOS. As pointed out, theyā€™re not primarily Mac developers.

Might wanna refund then xx

I just hate that suddenly halfway through the subscription time, it stopped working for macOS Catalina and others. I cannot update further. xx

Hi All,

Same thing here. Finally just got my computer cleaned up to run Dragonflight and to also not overheat. I have only been playing again for 2 weeks. Now this. -_-
Running WOTLK classic works just fine.
Hopefully we can all play soon. Iā€™m willing to update, but only to Monterey if I have toā€¦

Make/Model of the system: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
GPU: AMD Radeon Pro 5300m 4GB
OS Version: Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7

Error: 346B2C48-D5AA-46EB-8483-D4C348A08459

I run Catalina on this computer as well due to working in production.
