9

Same here. I tried deleting cache & repairing, restarting comp etc.

I did a fresh install and have tried to log in 53 times in the last 2 hours. I even changed my password, used my mobile hotspot on my phone. Nothing!

there is a separate mac technical support forum that has a thread on this issue. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/main-thread-crashes-on-launch-after-maintenance-jan-24th

it has no workaround but they’re working on it.

14

Update officially done… Still wont load… ugh.

15

WTF Blizzard? Please fix the crashing Macs

16

blizzard screwing over Mac users yet again. billion dollar company and they cant do anything right. what a joke

17

Long term player here and this is really frustrating. I’ve tried the folder renaming thing and that didn’t help.

Same issue…Launch client and it momentarily flashes to the hand pointer mouse icon on a black screen, then crashes. I am running on MAC OS 12.6.3. Removed all game files and re-installed and still occurs. Is tomorrow’s downtime going to fix this issue?

19

Opened a ticket. Let’s see what they say. After the three new updates, it still crashes.

20

I’ve opened 2 tickets so far. If everyone that is crashing would open tickets, maybe Blizzard can connect the dots to realize multiple iMac users are being affected.

The support queue doesn’t seem to understand they have a bug yet. It’s our job to make them aware.

21

Same here, tried to repair, reinstall. It keeps crashing with no explanations. I just opened a ticket too.

I was about to link this here also.

That post some people are saying the updated to the latest os and it worked. But the minimum MAC OS requirements page has not been updated. Also some have stated that they have updated and it still doesn’t work.

23

FYI I can play classic wrath of the lich king so it appears to only be impacting retail wow at the time.

I have created 3 characters so far. Can bring myself to sludge through the levels tho lol. Hey Blizzard, how about you give an XP bonus to Classic since thats all we can play!

on my mac mini i am running the latest software and can’t login so there is a different problem. I thought I would try my MacBook (also running latest OS) to see if i can login there. nope…
