Thanks for the prompt reply. Appreciate it greatly.

Following a player’s advice in the Mac thread, after backing up WTF & the other folders with account-specific files, I did a complete reinstall of both bnet & WoW. Then I copied the backed up folders/files back into the appropriate new WoW locations. On restarting bnet it did a small WoW update that was successful. I currently have two accounts open & playable.

Yes, it was a pita to do the total reinstall. And i consider it a workaround - not a solution - because the problem is obviously not on our end, given the wide variety of OS versions, hardware, drivers, etc. involved. But at least I can enjoy my normal daily sessions while Blizzard fixes whatever bugs are causing the errors.

thing is, it wont install stuff for me, like i said i tried to re-install the PTR but it wont install it so i am afraid to try with the main game
