Playing on Mac?

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to play on my Mac but am having a hard time getting online! I installed it and when I click on the game a black screen comes up and that is it... anyone have any advice?


Besides getting a windows PC ;)

I'm running the client without issues on 10.12.2. (Apart from the boat/zeppelin bug).

 

What version are you running?

 

I've heard about the black screen issue before. Maybe you have a corrupted client, so try downloading it again and see what happens.

 

Hope you find a solution. (besides getting a windows PC :P )

I had the same black screen problem on my Macbook Pro so I downloaded the client from a different link which then just gave me an error message whenever I tried to open the game.

From researching the black screen might have something to do with the screen resolution but my error message seemed to be a problem with wow.app.

The way I got around it was lowering my screen resolution and then to ctrl click wow.app and select Show Package Contents and in the Mac OS folder open the wow Unix Executable file. It opens terminal initially but then loads the game which worked.

I know it's a faff but it got it working. Hope it helps!
