i've downloaded and redownloaded like 4 times and it's still not even letting me login. when i click on the W101 login it just crashes before i log on. i'm happy that it's working for a lot of people but i'm still very frustrated that i haven't been able to play for a while now.

What's your macOS operating system, and did this occur only after the patch this morning or was it happening before?

Thanks!

Upgraded to MacOS 12.3 yesterday and now Wizards crashes immediately on opening. Tried downloading again and got the same result. Anybody else having this issue?

Hi!

Thanks for letting us know about this issue. We're working with CodeWeavers to get it sorted.

Due to the nature of the issue, until we can get a corrected update from CodeWeavers, we need to refer you to for advanced technical support at Codeweavers. You can reach them at wizard101@codeweavers.com or sales@crossover.codeweavers.com. We'd recommend sending to both at the same time.

Please note that Codeweavers support for Wizard101 is free and you do not have to purchase any additional software.

We'll also keep you updated here when a compatible build is put in place. Apologies again for this unexpected issue

I have a 2020 M1 Macbook Pro, the game runs fine in every aspect besides the crown shop.. When I open the crown shop it drops below 10fps everytime. Is this an optimization issue and is it being looked at by the development team? I would much rather play on my Mac than my PC but this makes it difficult.

Keep watch @KI_Alerts and @Wizard101 for regular maintenance and support updates.

If you receive a 152 error, download the game again from here: https://www.wizard101.com/game/download-mac

DIAGNOSING LOGIN ISSUES

If you are unable to login, please first try the following first:
  1. Ensure your system meets the minimum specs:
    https://www.wizard101.com/game/system-requirements
  2. Identify a possible error and follow its instructions if there are any (you may need to upgrade to Big Sur, which is the only supported OS for Wizard101)
  3. Uninstall the game completely, ensure all files are removed for the game (including the trash folder and any save folders), and then reinstall.
You can also try a similar process listed on CodeWeaver's website: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/tips/wizard101/full-clean-install-procedure-for-wizard101

If the first step doesn't work, creating a new Profile on your machine will allow a clean install of the game.

Here is information on how to create a new profile: https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-create-a-new-user-on-mac

And here is more information on how to setup groups in general on a Mac computer: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-other-users-on-your-mac-mtusr001/mac

For macOS Catalina users, while we no longer support the OS, this version and other OS versions may still work with these instructions:
  1. Open Finder, press Applications, and delete the Wizard101 file.
  2. Right-click ("two-finger" click on a track pad) Finder in the taskbar, press "Go To Folder," and type "~/Library/Application Support" and delete the Wizard101 folder.
  3. Reinstall the game using this link https://www.wizard101.com/game/download-mac . You should now be able to open up the new file and start up the game like normal.
"Please wait while Wizard101 initializes..." message

If you see the above message even after waiting a while and reinstalling the game, please contact CodeWeavers support at either wizard101@codeweavers.com or sales@crossover.codeweavers.com.

Please also see this post: https://www.wizard101.com/forum/halstons-laboratory/wizard101-macos-1-month-free-membership-8ad6a42478f3767a01791502ce796148?page=1
Do you plan to make the Wizard101 game available to run on macOS 12 versions or macOS Monterrey?
