btw its mac os x 10.4.3 and World of Warcraft 1.8

No noticable WoW difference for me. I had to do a fresh install of the OS and WoW due to a kernel panic during the update resulting in a corupted OS. I don't know if any of the reinstalls resulted in abnormal preformance.

My copy of WOW is running fine, no changes with the 10.4.3 update..

Same as above WoW is the same no difference at all (PM Dual G5, 6800 Ultra DDL).

Same here, no problems with 10.4.3 and wow.

There seems to be an issue with some nVIDIA cards. Blizzard has reproduced the problem in its labs and has contacted Apple. More info in this thread:

that would make sense because i have an ATI and i am fine as well.

[HiRez]

Same with me, dual 2.0 G5, Radeon 9600 Pro, 10.4.3, WoW seems fine.

Mac mini (see specs below), all software up-to-date (OS X and WoW), everything runs fine (or as fine as it possibly can on a 32MB Radeon 9200). :rolleyes:

Ditto, running on a iBook with the same GPU. Runs as slow as always, but playable and very enjoyable.

I am having issues as well... using a Nvidia card... hopefully update will be out soon.

Which card? My NVIDIA 6800 Ultra DDL works fine, which cards are people having problems with?

[Ultimate-Omen]

I havent noticed a difference on my ibook while playing WoW, though my boot up/log in speed seemed to have suffered after the 10.4.3 update.

My card is a nvidia ti 4600 128mb.


I havent been back on since, but I will try again tonight.

No problems post-10.4.3 and WoW on my end.

I'd remove and reinstall WoW + any plugins. I know it's a pain, but nuking it from orbit is the only way to be sure. ;)

hello,

i run wow on my rev C powerbook 17 " and its great !

I have a question : with a "normal" keyboard, i think you press the "Num lock "key to set your caracter to walk instead of running, but it seem that i cant do it on my powerbook ?

is it a different key on portable, on a combinaison of key ?

thanks for the answer

If i deactivate the UI i see a massive increase in ftp, around 50-70, this is tested with no addons.
All other applications are closed, using tiger 10.4.3.
Location are STV.
Running on a imac isight 20", 1,5GB ram.

no problem in my G5. Have you repaired permissions after the update?

Off topic from WOW but I have had display problems with Blender (3D App) after 10.4.3 upgrade. Display of interface is screwy with not all elements being displayed and some interactivity with UI non functional.
