Same issue (also on a Mac) but interestingly enough I am able to launch “classic”. Come on Blizz…there are ALOT of us out here that would like some info as to what is going on!

Same issue here on occasion, sometimes it will let me in the game world only to disconnect me a few moments later.

Same issue here… on Mac OS as well. I launch the game, mouse cursor changes to the glove and appears that the game has launched… but before I get to the login screen it instantly closes and “The application encountered an unexpected error” message pops up to send Blizzard.
No mention of this issue from Blizzard… are Mac players just getting neglected here?

Update to my ticket: I was given an automated response suggesting several generic fixes which weren’t relevant to my issue. I responded to keep the ticket open, reiterated the issue and attached a new System Report.
What I’ve tried so far with no luck:
Rebooted
Reinstalled Battle.net (x2)
Reinstalled WoW (x2)
Updated OS
Deleted Cache, Interface and WTF folders

I hope they get this resolved by the time I get home from work today, very dissapointing this patch went live with issues like this.

I’m having the same problem! I also have a Mac and Mac laptop. Both are doing the same thing.
How do we get an answer that actually fixes the problem???

Same. Mac OS Big Sur
I haven’t been able to play since since the 1/24 patch. I can get to the character select screen and even try to log a toon on thats not located in Dragon Isles but it crashes after hitting the load screen. My main that I logged out in Waking Shores crashes if I even try to select him before hitting Enter World.

I’ve tried everything that’s been posted here. Also on a Mac Catalina OS. Nothing’s working and the ticket I submitted last night received an answer. Tried what they suggested and still no positive results. Might be a sign for me to cancel my subscription again.

I too use Mac And recieved the same error.Can not fix it .Tried many times.Blitzz has yet to reply or fix ??
Same problem here. Mac OS Big Sur
Yep me too, Mac OS!
Anyone have any luck. Even with the small update this morning, I’m still having the same, “The application encountered an unexpected error.” Blizzard hates Mac users? 
I also submitted a ticket so hoping they see this as an issue affecting a number of people.

It must be the World of Warcraft.app issue located in: /Application/World of Warcraft/retail/World of Warcraft.app
Anyone have the original DF WoW.app file?
I am having the same issue. I’m so annoyed. Also, mac user. Are we just being left out in the cold?!

Same here. I have a 2017 iMac. Been playing WoW on it with no problems until the new patch came out. I can log in and into character screen but once I choose a character and go into the world, after ten seconds the whole game freezes and then crashes. Thought they were doing maintenance to the game today but that just proved useless to us.
