OK guys blizz are doing their usual run around trick of blame the stupid mac user but until I upgraded from Os x 10.4.11 to 10.6.3 I thought My wow was FINALLY working well. With an smcfancontrol turned up to max a temp of 50 degrees c and only small graphic tearling (such as a cactus across org) I was happy no lag issues no latency everythign was rosie. I appologise but this is a long post.
When I got my new snow leopard from mac I was overjoyed as it took longer than i would have liked
but glad it was here - I loaded it up and everything was dandy then I realised my ex's name was on the user name details even though I had changed the name myself to my name it was showing as his computer so I found out how to fix the issue and deleted his profile created a new one and found all my iphoto's GONE! bugger 3 years of photo's gone - at least i have some backed up!
Wow was still installed so I tried to run it - the launcher refused to open and all i got was the little bounce fromt eh icon - So I check for new updates and then isolated the issue by selecting each download leaving only one not updated final cut pro (a program I don't use so I thought what the heck). Tried to load the launcher again and nothing so I deleted any wow referance and then reinstalled from blizz website account page. I did manage with some faffing before reinstalling to get an error but it was so unique no-one else on the forums had it so after a few hours of trying I decided to reinstall.
I could log in with only a small glitch on load (said I could play then when I logged out changed it's mind) Then Woah! I can't see anything every ones belt's turned into triangles! GREY triangles pink green blue all over the screen I tried different resolutions, I tried different graphic settings and nothing worked for long and the dreaded triangles came back each time!
I tried resting the mac but it was unpredictable I could be playing for hours and nothing then I turn around to see the the triangles again.
The only thing that now works is a restart of wow!
Needless to say I went to them first but I'm covering my bases here more experts more head better than none I play facebook games without issue and they require graphics and flash and work without glitches.
I know my graphics card is old and without support but there has to be something other than silly blizz q's like have you downloaded the drivers?? I mean honestly thats a windows techy for sure!
