Mac client crash on launch

[LunaEclipse 0]

So I downloaded the client on Mac system yesterday, and couldn't even get into the game because the client just kept crashing on open.

Anyone using Mac having the same problem?

Here are some sources that might help you with this

However it did not helped me to full extent.
I downloaded Mac and Win client and copied Mac .app into Windows client. It did not crash on start but always ended up with black screen and only way out was CMD+ALT+Escape.
What helped me at the and was that in addition to above i created WTF directory with Config.wtf file.
Somewhere on the net i found random copied Config.wtf file contents and copied them into my new and empty Config.wtf file. 

I don't know which of the lines exactly made the game run, but one of them did so i stopped bothering.

Few observation:
Game wont start for me if its set into full screen mode and other than native display resolution. 
It's pain in native resolution (retina 15") as in-game cursor is very small and some texts as well (no matter UI scale factor)

Have you changed default system memory for addons?

If you use addons and haven't change default system memory, this may be cause for client crashes.

That will crash Windows client as well :) Thing is you do not have any addons when you download fresh new client, so in addition, maybe it is also wise to advise not to try to put there any addons into the game when starting client for the first time and set the memory appropriately later when using addons.
