Crash reports that are Assertion Failed! (NOT fatal exceptions) on a patch day are about 9/10, a gone wrong patch, either the patch file itself, or cache updating after the fact.
A LOT of crash reports on forum today are indicating both problems, some only have one some probably only have other some have both. So here are some steps to take if you are having an Assertion Failed! crash If you don't know what to look for to see if this is your type of crash, look for this Assertion Failed! So here is what you should do if you want to at least see if it's just a temp (cache) file issue: IF you still Have problems, then your Data/wow-update-base-14946.MPQ is in fact also damaged. which means additional steps: If downloading 800MB isn't a big deal and you wanna save time just right off kill wow-update-base-14946.MPQ for good measure and take the extra time to repair. Take no chances if you can help it. Save wasting doing the cache files twice. Because if you reset temp files and that alone doesn't fix it, you will need to reset them again AFTER fixing the damaged patch file to ensure a clean cache is created off a GOOD patch file. I only recommend trying cache only first without adidtional steps to those like me who take 2-3 hours to download an 800M file and may want to see if faster way works first, worst case it doesn't you waste 10-20min. But better then wasting 3 hours if you don't have to. ________________________________________________ Mac Tech Support MVP Addon Author http://www.curseforge.com/profiles/mysticalos/ |

I followed each step, up to and including the last one. to no avail. |

Car your error isn't an assertion error so something else is going wrong with your report, i just looked at it, you had a fatal exception.

Omegal, i followed each step and like Car, i've had no help what so ever. Could i just re download cataclysm, or would there be any point for that?

your crash is also "Exception Raised!"
these steps solve the "Assertion Failed!" errors. but you and car might have the same crash though so comparing your specs could be productive if tony moves your notes together, collects system profiler reports from both of you. i'm sure it'd be very helpful ________________________________________________ Mac Tech Support MVP Addon Author http://www.curseforge.com/profiles/mysticalos/ |

I'm getting crashes in WoW whenever I enable outdated addons, but WoW doesn't actually shut down. It goes into an infinite loop, and the main thread looks like
User stack:I'm currently applying non-critical updates (after clearing caches), so hopefully that will fix the issue. Update: Clearing caches didn't work for me. Still gets the same crash. |

Just found http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3657275859. That sounds like it might be my problem. I always update all my addons to alpha versions, but if the issue is reproduced simply by loading an older version of libtourist then this might be the problem.

libtourist causes freezes not crashes as far as i can tell, it caused an infinite loop that consumed the clients CPU and prevented it from proceeding. your crash log is also incomplete and not all that useful

I have the same issue, game freezes on loading screen. I tried deleting the cache files, the patch files, running the repair app and downloading the patch again. I waited until the loader finished installing everything including the non-critical updates. After that the game worked but my FPS dropped drastically. Instead of 50-60 I would get 5-10 and the game freezes for a while every 4 or 5 seconds. I tried closing the game and restarting but the game crashed again and I can't get past the loading screen.
Is Blizzard aware of the massive Mac problems of the patch 4.3? Because we need an official solution. After all it's a paid service. |
That's the wrong type of error sorry. Please take it to a new thread as it is not a assertion error.
Having been around this forum for a number of years this patch is comparatively tame problems wise. There have been worser patches. ________________________________________________ Bringing you walls of text and cookies since 2005 :) Mac Tech Support MVP (moonlights in other forums) Here to Help :) |

Have you tried wiping all temp files, and testing without add-ons to see if this may be related to that. Typically after patch days, older files can cause performance issues, and other weird behavior due to not compatible with the latest patch version or not fully optimized. Reset the temp files:
2. Delete the Cache folder. 3. Move Interface and WTF to the Desktop. 4. Launch WoW. ________________________________________________ Mac Tech Support for Baaaaahlizzard Entertainment || Fri-Tue 1:45 pm - 10:45 pm CST http://www.surveymk.com/s/RF8K3KG ---- Rate my Baaaaalue Posts.

Omegal would you be able to expand on what's at the top to include more info there?
Doesn't seem to be specific enough for me. ________________________________________________ Bringing you walls of text and cookies since 2005 :) Mac Tech Support MVP (moonlights in other forums) Here to Help :) |
