Is Gaijan working on a fix for Mac users?

[TheRealCoopsie 14]

This is the thing everyone that uses a Mac wants to know but all we have been getting is silence.  People have submitted bug reports and so have I but no one has responded with any information.  This issue of crashing randomly is a Game Breaking Bug and it seems that Gaijan keeps throwing out all these minor updates that does nothing to fix the issue at hand.  So what is going on and give us an update please?

[Dayman 25]

I’m following this as well, can’t even get a game in anymore. Frustrating, but the holidays are coming up and I don’t think gaijin wants to lose all those Mac customers, so for now we have to wait. Pony has been submitting the bug reports so they are aware.

The developers have been receiving bug reports from those that have submitted them and are working through them in due course. Unfortunately the New Power update was very graphically intense and changed a lot in that area of the game, leading to unforeseen issues.

Appreciate the response bruh! Keep us posted on the good news when it becomes available. 

[fish_outta_water 31]

mine has actually been quite a bit better this evening!

[timmiboi 33]

Mine still keeps crashing every single game.

I was able to play without crashes using "Old videocard support", not as beautiful but works without crashes (mostly)!

Well... except for the fact that the first release worked great. Like super-awesome.

[TheRealCoopsie 14]

Still crashes after update today...

[PrinzValiant 58]

Yes, still crashing after 10 minutes.

Best solution ever about performance, but still crashes....

My solution: i restart WT after each match. This works most of the time, because i always crash in the second match. 

Oh, and i forgot to mention that i have to quit every other process running on my iMac before i start WT.

I hope Gaijin fixes this crap soon.....

Am I imagining things or did everything work fine when the update first came out, and the problems with crashing didn't start for a few more days?  Because that's what it seems like.

If you need us to repost bug reports, let us know.  I think we can manage to find some.

I concur.  I also play on an old Linux laptop sometimes and that crashed all the time when the update first came out, but after a few days it sorted itself out, and the Mac version started crashing.

I've noted that crashes seem to be more frequent in arcade battles, especially if I am in a squad.  I don't think I've seen a crash when playing in realistic mode or when doing test flights, etc.  This makes me wonder if this is purely a graphical issue.  Could be somehow related to networking events?

Playing Arcade 5 mins...CRASH...RESTART....Playing Arcade 5 mins...CRASH...RESTART....Playing Arcade 5 mins...CRASH...RESTART.... Never gotten 2 solid games in a row. Always happy when I can just finish one game without a crash.

so it not only quits but sometimes also freeze and shuts down my computer 

[Arm_aber_Sexy 5]

I recognized That my Ping Rate went up like Crazy before the Game freeze or the Game Shuttle down.

[TheRealCoopsie 14]

Ok...So again...Minor updates that do nothing to fix the game...

"Unforeseen issues"?
Sorry but did the developers take the time to debug worthy of the name, given that New Power is a big leap in graphics?
Or did the tight release times contribute to creating this paradoxical situation?
At the end of the year it is known that the new version of MacOs is released, and obviously even that cannot be perfect at the first version.
But at least with Catalina the game had / could be "stable".

Yes, worked fine after the New Power update. it was one of the subsequent small updates that broke the game for macOS.

[KoPas73 6]

Having the same crashes over and over again... really hope that this will get fixed asap!

[MeanKat 7]

If you are playing on Mac, It's no point now.

War Thunder doesn't really care about its players on different platform.

They are just using us as Quick-bux.

Yes, I have already experienced it by Gaijin Forced everyone under Catilina to update but I just quit WT all together.
