I have mac os.x 10.6.8 and every time I log on to WoW now, it completely exits out of the game with no warning or error report. I have no add-ons. I deleted the WTF, Cache, and Interface folder. Please help!

I would say you're likely hitting a memory breakpoint. You have 2 GB RAM, and the 9400M
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9400MYour system uses 256 MB RAM right off the bat for VRAM, leaving you with 1.7 GB RAM. Take another 650 MB RAM from that and you have 1.1 GB left for the client and any other processes running. You're almost certainly hitting swap like crazy, causing the system to lock up, which most definitely could cause WoW to stop responding. The next time this happens, can you open your Console app (It's located in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app), select All Messages, and paste the messages in here that occur around the time of the crash? The Console app will often catch something that WoW's error reporter and Apple's Crash Reporter miss. ________________________________________________ Official Mac Tech Support Forum Cookie™ (Mint Chocolate Chip) Guaranteed tasty; Potentially volatile when dipped in General Forums Syrup® Caution: This cookie bites back. |

I am having the same error on a brand new MacBook Pro Retina with 16GB RAM and nVidia GeForce GT 650M with 1024MB VRAM. I can't get into the game to change any settings, as it quits as soon as I log on and is repeatable. Works fine on my wife's Mac Pro. I bought this computer because I could no longer raid on my iMac, so this is very distressing. Suggestions?
Edit: I should have read more carefully; once I fixed permissions, all was well. Thanks! |
