WoW PTR: game freeze upon login attempt

Posted Aug 29, 2007 at 1:16PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Titles, News Tags: Blizzard, Hortus

In case you're also having problems gaining access to World of Warcraft's Public Test Realms, read on. Kittylol over at the WoW forums posted access problems for the game, and noted that attempting to click in a realm (PvE in Kittylol's case) caused it to freeze. Kittylol's running WoW off a Mac Mini computer in case you're wondering.

Blizzard spokesman Hortus dropped by soon after to reply that the devs were looking into the matter. Interestingly, Hortus noted that aside from the Kittylol, they had also received similar reports from players using PCs running on the Windows Vista OS.

Hortus further advised the poster to try plugging a microphone into the Mac, and see what happens next. That's all for the moment, although those experiencing similar problems may want to check out the WoW Forums (the source link) in case Blizzard updates with a proper fix.
