MBP Freezing in Oribos: Figured it out (BUG!)

Support Mac Technical Support

I figured out what was making WoW crash the entire computer with the spinning beachball of doom until automatic reboot for me.

Antialiasing setting.

I’ve been running with CMAA for ~5 days and have had zero crashes.

I switched to MSAA 2x and crashed within 5 seconds of porting into Oribos.

What’s the best way to submit this to Blizzard/Apple? I was never able to get a good crash log.

Thanks Korkut, after two kernel panics in a row trying to hearth to Oribos turning off AA solved the problem.

Oh man I just put up a forum on support page I wasn’t having issues other than slow lag last few weeks when ported or flew there but the last update today crashes me EVERYTIME now trying to get to Oribis. Entire computer turns off. I’ll swap it and see if it works when I get home! Hoping all it is till fixed. Thanks for responding will post back later after I try this.
