Yep. 10-20+ second freezes and if I get lucky a few seconds later I see like 1 frame of movement & sound which means the freeze will end in like 5+ seconds later. If it doesn't move & the sound loops ... the game crashed the graphics department and I have to hard reset to do anything. Can't F3 or alt tab out of it (even when in windowed mode at like 800*600) but I can hear sound of other programs in the background like TS or music.
My sub ran out on Jan 23rd and I'm not planning on playing again until this has been fixed. Season 4 probably ruined for me ... cool. Been playing on mac since like 2010 and wow since 2006. I never had a problem with WoW on OSX at all until 8.3 fucked everything into the ground. Another thing to add to the recent "Blizzard doesn't care about their customers anymore" pile
:/
Btw here are two pretty active forum threads

This exactly, it's a sad truth, especially with what happen with WC3:R, absolutely saddening to see Blizzard come to this. Originally Posted by Xe4ro

And yes, I have been posting on the official forums.

I've had a lot of long freezes in big cities, but usually once I'm out of the crowds it's fine. M+ has been fine; I've done a key on all of my toons without issue.

Raising 'awareness'... forgive my insolence... but isn't thats what the thread is about?... YOU say its not 'compatable'... but in this very thread are folks saying they aren't having problems... are you suggesting they are lying? or... are you really saying YOUR Mac is having a problem running Wow?

Yes, it is. That's why I'm bumping the thread, to keep it fresh in people's minds of the incompetence of Activision Blizzard as a whole right now. Originally Posted by Seranthor

No. Not just mine. Intel based Macs are having the issues. Sorry, but a handful of people saying they're having no issues does not over shadow the thousands of replies on the official forums. Which is also a pinned topic in the official forums.Last edited by Beergod; 2020-02-04 at 05:10 AM.

So you are 'bumping' the thread for what reason... exactly... are you saying its not getting enough attention? Originally Posted by Beergod

Obviously. Some people don't browse the official wow forums, some people don't browse MMO-Champion. The more places it can be seen, the better. Originally Posted by Seranthor

Awareness does... the bumping, however, does not. Because if it was meant to have attention it would get it, without someone frantically waving their arms going 'Pay attention to me' Originally Posted by Beergod

Dude, look, I'm only trying to keep a discussion going on this topic, which is what a forum is for. What is your deal? Originally Posted by Seranthor

Are you just like a wannabe mod that's micro managing topics? You have literally contributed nothing constructive.

This is more of an OT honest question.
Do people actually try to play games on Mac? Why wouldn't you just Bootcamp to avoid all the issues of the, to be frank, a shitty mac environment?

Many players that play on Mac only play WoW, no need to have a PC to play one game, many player's MacBooks also have limited space due to MacBooks base SSD configuration, making Bootcamp impossible. Originally Posted by agentsi

I question why they are paying so much to have such crappy SSD space? Originally Posted by Beergod

I've been playing WoW, Civ, Xcom etc on Mac for like a decade now and never had THIS kind of issue. So far Blizzard kind of blames Apple and or Intel but (for me and a lot of others) this started with 8.3 and was never there before. A few people don't seem to be having this problem but thousands of people do and Blizzard is been very silent about it. Originally Posted by agentsi
