It’s Possible To Run Warcraft III on an OS X Mac Without It Crashing
For a select few, that is.
Most of those who installed Warcraft III in their Intel Macs experienced game crashes. Sometimes the Frozen Throne expansion crashes.
jlukas tells us how he was able to install Warcraft III and play it without it crashing. He had previously tried installing it but like most Intel Mac users experienced, the game crashed. He saw a notification message from Console.app saying that loading LiveType.component failed.
What he did was delete LiveType.component for Warcraft III to work. He also did some debugging and did these steps to make the game work:
- Navigate to /Library/Quicktime/
- Create and Archive of LiveType.component
- Delete LiveType.component
- Empty your trash
Hopefully this will work for some Intel Mac users dealing with the same problem.
