    Mac Client Sudden Crashes: Error code 0x85100086

    Hey all -
    I've been playing for about two months on mac with no issues, but in the last two or three days my client has been crashing at random intervals with no real rhyme or reason. I've lowered all of my graphical settings to the bare minimum, have nothing else running, and have deleted my WTF, Cache, and interface folders before running it again. I get the same error every time:

    ================================================== =======

    I can't for the life of me figure out why it suddenly is having such a hard time. I haven't changed any .mpq files since I first installed it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I did a fresh install of the game and figured it has something to do with my .mpqs. I installed finsternis' creatures and leeviathan's character models and removing them helped immensely - the character pack in particular caused more crashes than anything else. They still happen but are much less frequent - from a crash every 5 minutes to maybe once or twice an hour.

    What I'm confused about is why it's happening - I have been using the same .mpqs for the nearly 2 months i've been playing... I redownloaded them to see if they had corrupted but to no avail. Tried the warmane official WoD skins and they caused crashes as well. :/
