Legacy of the Void was officially released on 25 November 2015 and since then till now, no resolution has been forthcoming.
There is a strong suspicion that the newest iteration of Starcraft 2 from Blizzard must have coding in it that causes Nvidia equipped Macs to simply violently, crash. This is excerbated by the fact that prior to the introduction of Legacy of the Void, previous iterations of Stracraft 2 seemed to run absolutely fine. It has to be noted that other than Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void, nothing else crashes the Nvidia equipped 15″ Macbook Pro.īased on this we are led to conclude that the most likely culprit who can resolve this is Blizzard.

We then tested Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void on a Mac Mini (Late 2012) which ships with a meagre Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536MB GPU and surprisingly the game runs fine! No crash. We tested the crashing and confirmed that this definitely affects the 15″ Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) which ships with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 288MB and a discrete Nvidia GT330M 512MB GPU. None of which are responding or appear the least bothered to assist in this. Nvidia who supplied Apple the GPU and finally, Blizzard who produced the game. There are three parties who can potentially ‘solve’ this Apple who built the Mac.
If this sounds disturbingly familiar we regret to inform you that at the moment there does not appear to be any resolution. Telling you that your Mac just crashed because of a “problem”. By now, you’re sitting staring blankly at your Mac’s kernal panic message atop a grey background screen. You’re playing on the edge of your seat, suddenly there is a bright flash of white light (you cuss), your game is swallowed by a dark screen, followed by your Mac’s startup chime. Reports on Starcraft 2 crashing Mac’s runnning Nvidia graphics processor units (GPU) is nothing new but lately this has exploded with the introduction of Blizzard’s latest Legacy of the Void installment of the Starcraft 2 universe.
