Mac PTR Client Crashes when opened

[Shizari]

ok, so, I downloaded the PTR client tonight, after seeing the news that MoP stuff was on the PTR. I downloaded the entire thing, hit Play on the launcher, and then...

the screen fades in to black (full screen game), then fades back out, crashes, and i get the WoW-error thingie. What exactly IS the problem here?

My mac is on 10.6.8 OSX.

Can you post the error report or something? Also, I'm sure the official wow forums are better suited for something like this.

I'd love to post on the official WoW forums, but i'm not about to sift through 100 pages of "HERP A DERP YOU PLAY ON A MAC THATS WHY YOU CANT OPEN IT LOLOLOLOLOL" for a decent person to answer :P

Anyway, here's some select text from the error:

What's the speccs of your mac?

Edit: stupid me, of course it's from the OS X crash report

Also; can a mod move this to the computer forum?

I have a MacBook Pro from 2009, 4 gigs of ram, 180 gig hard drive space. the graphics card is some sort of nvidia (i forget how to check that stuff)

Are the ptr's even up?

Shizari, have you tried loading the 32-bit client instead of the 64-bit client? Open the WoW Launcher and go up to Options on the menu bar and click Preferences. Check the box next to "Launch 32-bit client".

If that doesn't work, I would suggest checking out the Mac Support section on the official WoW forums. There are many knowledgeable Mac users who post there regularly who might be able to help.

I've launched both, actually. Neither stays open.

And also, i thought you had to be subscribed to post on the forums?
