Guide on how to play WOTLK on new MACs (Apple silicon)
Hi guys, i have figured out how to play WOTLK with high performance on new apple silicon macs.
1- The only program it works with is Parallels. So we will be using parallels.
2- Download WOTLK client.
3- In parallels go to Actions -> Configure -> Hardware -> Boot Order -> Advanced
4- add "video.metal=0" without quotations to the boot flags.
5- Run the game.
It runs perfectly fine on my Macbook pro, with max resolution and everything maxed out. This fix also fixes almost any other game. Took me very long to figure it out and couldn't find it anywhere else.
Now you can enjoy Warmane on your Mac without issues. Fixes all other old WoW clients too. If you don't use this boot flag the game will be choppy due to shader loading.
