Much Better on Mac?

AngryLorekeeper · November 2021

I have been super critical of the way ZOS has handled the problems surrounding the game on the Mac platform over the past 10 months. However, I do have to admit that after the last server maintenance things improved significantly for me and now this latest patch seems to have fixed whatever was ailing the game. It took a while but I feel like they did finally take things seriously and got them fixed. How has everyone else's experience been lately?

I'd agreed till this morning (3rd Nov). I have continual crashes, and this is not happening on my Win PC.
I fear I have to reinstall, for repair has been of no avail.

Done. No improvement. I tried also to login w/o STEAM and to remove all addons. Curious that an older iMac of mine, with Catalina (and not Big Sur) shows no problem at all.

My Mac client is working better as well. I haven't used it in a month or two due to the crash issues, but after a few days on the new patch it is promising. Now if they can just fix Bluetooth controller support

Yes, for me, it has stopped crashing. I'm on a late 2015, Mojave. iMac.
No problems with any wayshrine, door, zone movements, delves.
Used to have crashes on all of those, character switch and log out as well, nothing now. Mind you, it's taken long enough.
I used the reduced window trick to work around the problem, not ideal though.
I'm not going anywhere near the OS updates, I bet they are not really compatible.
