When I try to enter the PTR, WoW closes and I get a Send Error Report, which I duly send. After sending about 15 of these, I figure I'm no longer helping, and am now seeking advice.

As a side note, Live WoW functions perfectly.

Hello Galehammer,


Can you please post the error you are getting.

Also the developers team is receiving those error reports, so keep sending them, it helps them decipher what issues are arising and to fix them before the patch goes live.

Hello Galehammer,

The following error:

---

Q u o t e:
Assertion: permutationCount == permutations

---

is a bad one. Either the game is very very corrupted or your hard drive's directory is on it's way to fail. Do you use any file sharing software ? When's the last time you ran fsck ? :

Repair Directory Procedure:

1. (re)start the computer
2. right after the computer starts press Cmd(Apple)+s until you get a black screen with white type
3. let go of the keys when this screen comes up
4. at the cursor please type the following: fsck -f -y and press return
5. please be aware that some of the procedures will look like they are frozen,
but are actually taking a long time i.e checking hierarchy
6. if anything had to be repaired, repeat step 4
7. once things are repaired type exit and press return
8. computer will boot into Mac OS

Also was the hard drive ever formatted after you got it ?

Hello Azazlle,


Are you also getting the same error as listed above ? Also when's the last time you did any maintenance on your Mac ?

Hello Emulsifier,


Those error reports don't include any personal info so they are not tied to you, plus they go to the developers not technical support. Can you post one of those errors here please.
