Mac Client Crashes After 'Enter World'

[deshart]

My game launches and runs relatively fine until I click 'Enter World'. It then says something about downloading first time for the race, and crashes before any of the loading bar fills up. I'm running OS X 10.9. I've tried reinstalling a few times and the same thing happens.

Does it give you any WoW Errors?

Usually if it is a WoW crash it probably has a log in your game folder. I am not the most intelligent when it comes to Macintosh, but I'd assume the compatibility exists between Windows and Mac software. Your WoW folder where you put IceCold's Launcher/Installer will have the logs. Last thing, check if you have any antiviruses, add-ons, layovers, or other applications that you have running while you start up the launcher and IceCold WoW. Some applications might cancel the operations to add files to your game folder.

 

 

Oh yeah, forgot about folder permissions. You may need to change the folder of your installation to an administrator privileged folder, so that the game can make its updates/ patches and other modifications. Mac might be a bit different, but I know folder permissions are similar.

WoW error code 0x85100086, I think this is it.

Just as I had suspected. Your issues will be resolved if you follow the guides at the links.

I wish you hadn't ignored me.

 

It may not say this, buy I would again assert the necessity to put your game folder in an administrator folder.

^^ That's me.

I'm running the game in admin mode, I've disabled any security that might've been the problem, I'm up to date on software, and I've tried reinstalling. I don't think the game ever fully downloaded, but the repair tool nor anything else I can find lets me check that. It tells me that it cannot repair my game.

[deshart]

Actually, I think it is fully installed. I just checked and the folder is ~14 gigs.

Where is the folder located?

Helpful, Helpful indeed.
