Dukenukemx Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I got an AMD 3600+ X2 with Zeph's 10.5.2 DVD installed. Got everything setup as far as sound, network, and graphics card working. I got WoW installed with the latest patches installed as well. When I start WoW the only thing that happens is this error. The launcher starts, but as soon as I click play I get this. Can anyone help me? The application World of Warcraft quit unexpectedly.

relay Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think this game only works on Intel for Mac-OS. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88948-world-of-warcraft-crashes-before-it-even-starts/#findComment-634720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yan.kun Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yup. Blizz is a Pro in optimizing games for Mac and so I think the Mac Version is only written to run on PPC and Intel.

hacbookpro Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 WoW runs on all macs, not only intel ones. How do you think it ran before mac had intel? I think your problem lies in the OpenGl drivers or in the kexts for the video card.

sg Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 when he said it would work on Intel only he meant maybe it doesnt work on AMDs since thats what the OP has.

redcell Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Ignore all previos posts with useless information. I had the same problem, with many other games as well, it's easy to fix get Marvin's AMD Utility and select "Create patcher package" and let it scan /Library/Frameworks it will create a folder on your desktop afterwards select patch all cpuid's using cpuid file and again select the folder /Library/Frameworks and point to the cpuid file it created in the folder on your desktop and voila, all games will now work on AMD Leopard 10.5.2 enjoy!

lord_muad_dib Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 and why did you installed that if it worked? drivers are always the same... check if you have QE/CI.... if not, you have to add again your gpu's DEVid to geforce kexts and yeah.. WOW works on AMD... lol there's nothing that doesn't work here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88948-world-of-warcraft-crashes-before-it-even-starts/#findComment-715211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

d11dog11 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I tried that with the same results, no cpuids found Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88948-world-of-warcraft-crashes-before-it-even-starts/#findComment-718574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chartode Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I tried that with the same results, no cpuids found Actually, I tried Marvin's utility in the folder /System/Library/Frameworks. When I tried to run the patch with the CPUID file, it said WARNING! Patch address verification failed!!! -- Because binary is still encrypted -- Stopping. But I did this whole process again with more specific level -> /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL... folder, and it worked, and WoW TBC started running! Nice. This problem was giving me a headache because I go through WoW installs from CDs by installing WoW Classic first (tested and working) then install TBC (breaks WoW after updating WOW classic to TBC) and I had no clue what the hell was going on.
