World of Warships Forum

The Mac version of World of Warships is undergoing a public beta available from Wargaming.

This port was done by our team here at CodeWeavers.

We know it still has trouble patching when updates are of a significant size. Restarting the patcher (there is a refresh arrow to do so) will refresh the attempt and the patcher will resume.

We know that some users are reporting 'Out of Memory' problems where World of Warships goes to a Critical Error. We do not yet have an ETA on a resolution but our developers are triaging this issue.

We know that some users are experiencing a black screen on launch. This usually affects Intel 6000/Intel Iris Macs. The solution is to update the preferences.xml file, we will gladly send you a generic copy if you email ports@codeweavers.com. Or, you can create a preferences.xml in your ~/Documents/World_of_Warships folder with the following settings:

If you have any other questions, please contact us.

With special thanks to dstud for all the work and troubleshooting he has provided over the last few months.

Good Morning, Caron.

I was contacted by e-mail by Mr. Quan Nguyen. He gave me instructions to do a clean install + download a fix and it worked 😀

Thank you all for your help and I will also save the info given in your reply for future reference.

Thanks!

Hi Support,

I've been playing World Of Warships with great success for about a week, but since the update from yesterday on 0.5.3, the game is crashing as soon as it starts as reported by the long thread on WOW Official Forum.

The error is:

Application C:/Games/World_of_Warships/WorldOfWarships.exe

Could you please help the mac community to get back to the game?
We are so many nice people who just needs there ships back on the ocean ;)

Thanks.

I was pleased as punch to see this thread on a google search. WOWS the one thing I dual boot for.

After several unsuccessful attempts i can get this game to load correctly. I get to the main screen selection, click on battle or basic training then the game crashes. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

The program error says something about a deficiency in wine from the wine skin app. No code uploads to say what the problem is. Help would be appreciated.

Hi,

just downloaded World of Warships for my iMac (late 2012 model) and had no problems downloading the game and the recent update to 0.5.12.

However, whenever i go into battle the game WILL crash! immediate restart works, but sees my ships shot to pieces most of the time....

Any of you guys experienced the same and has a solution (tried deleting and reloading game silent already...)?

Maybe this thread is old, but I have this issue on MacBookPro Retina 15" from late 2013

Weird enough I see is:
Application C:/Games/World_of_Warships/
worldofwarships.exe crashed 08.25.2017

?!? How is that even possible, on Mac, c:/Games?

Exception_ACCESS_VIOLATION: 0xC0000005 @ 0x9....) Write @ 000000000)
And some memory info
Virtual memory 64kb (1%)
Commit charge (99%)
Global psyhsical memory (50%)
Global commitable memory (52%)

Help.
Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.3

Dear MAC gaming community,
dear codeweavers team,
since the recent updates of WOWS being 0.6.9 and 0.6.10 the game became unplayable via the MAC WRAPPER. Constant crashes in game, back to port etc. are experienced by myself and are reported all over the forums of WOWS. The WG team do not provide technical support for MAC games for WOWS and the current wrapper simply does not work reliantly. One of the problems appears to be the insufficient flushing of the graphics memory as well as problems with the new graphics system WG introduced recently.
Playing on PARALLELS emulation environment is horrible because of very low frame rate. - I tried it...
As long as there is no new MAC WRAPPER just do not play WOWS and spend your money on this.
I truly hope that this issue will be solved by WG by having codeweavers develop an updated version of the wrapper and money from the MAC gamers will count the same as money from PC gamers.

In 10-15 games per day, I'm getting 2-3 crashes to desktop.

This is new since 7.0. And it's constant.

PLEASE help!

You could be experiencing a problem where the process runs out of address space. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, High Sierrra has some improvements that could help with this issue. If you are running on Intel, there is not a good solution; lowering the graphics settings to minimum can help, but doesn't eliminate the problem entirely. With an AMD GPU, medium or low graphics settings should work. An alternative solution would be to close World of Warships and reopen after every 1-2 battles to free up the space before things completely fill up and cause a crash. Obviously this is not an ideal solution, but it could help to avoid having crashes mid-battle.

Thanks,
Anna

If something runs out of address space and closing it down "every couple of battles" to prevent it happening, then that is indicative of a memory leak. If the game, or the client, has that, it will never be stable.

I bought a Arizona premium ship every time I try to play the game freezes and crashes also my games don’t update and I am getting a lot of interesting things with graphics I hope you get it right thank you

Hi, I have an Imac and Macbook air and I used to play without problems but some crashes few times.
Now, it happened that with the 0.7.9.0 upgrade, I can log and play with both macs from my office, but I cannot log from my house.
So, I don't really know if the problem is Mac, or maybe because at home I play with a fixed IP from Fastweb. If I am at home and I connect my Imac to my Iphone by Personal Hotspot, I can log and play. Can anybody solve my problem? Thank you very much for your attention.

I keep on getting kicked out of the game. this is when I was playing wit other players
First the fight started and the colors are all wrong. the mountains where orange...
Then I reconnected and endup in the game, plays for some times and then I get kicked out again. back to the desktop of the computer. this keeps on for 5-6 times until I stop trying.
The game said once that it wasn't running as it should with the computer. Nevertheless less I got the latest version.

Normally I can play 1-3 fights before it goes down, but that is against boots.
3 of the latest time I reach a new ranking, it starts loading and then crashes.
Restarting the computer and then the new rank shows up.

I got

3,1 GHz Intel Core i5
Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB
8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

found this in the looks from MAC:

what Can I DO to get rid of this problems?

I did all this to

CodeWeavers, with the support of Wargaming, has developed a software solution that allows users of MacOS to join the army of fans of World of Warships.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that problems related to the CodeWeavers software solution can not be managed by Wargaming technical support.

Also, with a game update, our partner must update Wrapper for World of Warships. The game may not be available during the process.

That said, I invite you to follow these steps:
Please delete all mods from the game and check your client's integrity.
Delete the World of Warships client with the AppCleaner app: Free Mac Soft - AppCleaner
Download the world of Warships Mac Wrapper again: Download World of Warships
Start the * .dmg download file.
Install World of Warships again.

And now the game had freeze 2 times so I could go back to the desktop and forcequit it and restart it, 1 time it crashed so I had to turn the computer of. and this was the same battle.
