I have just uploaded my mac to Big Sur and I can't play wow anymore. i try to open it but nothing seems to work... I'm also trying to re install it but is not working out. Please help me!!!
Here's how you can run Wow.exe version 3.3.5 on macOS Catalina and Big Sur WITHOUT installing CrossOver, Windows or other commercial software.

i have tried its worked but the graphics is poor i changed in game settings but nothing happened and when used heart stone to dalaran it's given error any solutions for graphics ?
I've reached 60fps, how much fps have you got?
You need to setup the .exe file to use >2gb memory, should stop this happening..
(before you do this make a duplicate of your wow.exe to revert to just in case!)
1. Go to http://ntcore.com/exsuite.php and download the "Explorer Suite (Multi-Platform Version, Recommended)"
2. copy this installer into your bottles c: drive and run it using crossover.
3. it will do an install of the Exploer suite in you r bottle.
4. once installer has run and closed go back to crossover and run CFF Explorer.exe from: Program Files/NTCore/Explorer Suite/CFF Explorer.exe
5. From the Explorer open your wow.exe using the file menu
6. In the left hand column select the "File Header"
7. it should open some details on the right hand side... click on the "Click Here" on the bottom right
8. this will open a dialog box, tick the option for "App can handle >2GB address space" and click ok
9. now Save your changes from the file menu.
Your wow exe should crash a lot less now as it will have access to more memory.
I have been running this setup with all the hd texture and model packs and can confirm it works with crossover 19.0.2
We just bought new Macbook air with Big Sur. We are trying to load cataclysm on it with not much luck. farthest we got was with the Crossover app.
We installed it. The game loaded. We logged in. But when it is trying to load the character list it always crashes with ERROR #132.
I deliberately downloaded fresh cataclysm client without any addons and it keeps crashing.
Only time when we got into the game was when we logged onto realm without any characters so we could create one and log in. But then logging on it again happened the same crash.
Do you have any suggestion how to fix this issue please? We are desperate now.
It is only the character list loading where it seems that is some kind of problem.
Same problem here, but for the WOTLK. Someone know how to solve that issue?

I've done all this, but am now encountering the apparently common "failed to locate archive interface.MPQ." error. None of the fixes I can find on here, or googling, address the wineskin element, and so don't fix this specific running option... any ideas?
Finally I can play it, but only at 60 FPS with lowest graphic available.
Just tried this and I was able to run it. Thank you! Catalina 10.15.7
I came here to share this beautiful thread: http://forum.warmane.com/showthread....7852&p=3123707
Previously, I had been using CrossOver and it was clumsy and had the issue of the game crashing when RAM went >2GB. Usually crashing in Dalaran was the main problem for people which was often not helped by making changes to the WoD models.
Using the Wineskin method fixes the issue completely.
It's better than CrossOver because
1) you don't have to pay / pirate it
2) It fixes the RAM issue
3) The program runs without opening CrossOver also, so it keeps your dock tidier.
The only thing I have to add is that it's no longer the 'latest release version' of Wineskin at the Github (https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer/releases), the current version is the 'pre-release' version. You download the 'Wineskin.Winery.txz' from there. If you're reading this in the future and it has changed again, look for any version which has the 'Wineskin.Winery.txz', all other versions should not have it because they will be outdated.
And with this new version, it's no longer 'WS11WineCX64Bit19.0.2' it's been updated to 'WS11WineCX64Bit19.0.2 - 2'.
Other than that, these instructions are up to date.
To access the World of Warcraft 3.3.5a directory once you've installed it, you right click the app you made on the dock > Options > Show in Finder > Right Click the WoW app icon > Show Package Contents > drive_c > Program Files > World of Warcraft 3.3.5a. This is the directory where you find your Interface folder in order to add addons. You can make an alias folder to access this directory again more easily in the future. 🦄
After 14 years I come back to WoW, with lot of nostalgia and without thinking of all the changes of time....and here I am, waiting for the renewal of my monthly internet account, cause I downloaded the Mac OS version (18gb) instead of this walk around method with the Windows version. For those who have not flat internet, check this out before download ^^
Thank you for the solution, I will try in a week or so.
