It flashes up really quick and then crashes. So for him it does run the launcher, he can log in and select a server but as soon as he clicks play he gets that command “getting in line to connect”. He has the same problem as discribed in this thread So in theory it should be identical i think -> nope. Now the problem is that my brothers version (witch i downloaded and installed myself on his mac from the cordovan thread. Honestly i’m already happy that i can play again cuzz no joke me and my brother really were about th sunscribe as VIP but then all of this happened. Idd as discribed before that the font was idd more “blocky” and all the small glitches that came with it. I hope for the guys that this solution didn’t work they find something. (Yes you have to do this every time) so this is a temporary solution. I was able to fix it as they said by force stopping the extra wine preloader that pops up in you system activity. I had the same situation as discribed in this thread Now to start i play this toghether with my brother (he has exactly the same mac) so i have 2 situations. Needles to say then i have had my fair share of what going on with the mac clients. I have been a lotro player for more then 8 years now and i have always done it on a macbook early 2015. I've been playing lotro for the last 7 years on an nVidia GT(X?) 650 on the dreaded and much hated Windows 8 OS - can't wait to see how it looks on my iMac with a better GPU! let's hope this works or it's back to my sucky windows PC. I just started killing them off one by one until they were all gone and voila! My Lotro client moved past the directX download. They were all showing the exact same amount of CPU%. In Activity Monitor I saw 6 or 7 threads with the aforementioned name 'wine-preloader': I had tried on a lotro client I downloaded a few days ago and I couldn't get it to work (although I wasn't aware of this thread yet and thus had no idea how to troubleshoot it)Ĥ. It's been going through updates so I'd be sure and get the latest download.

Grab a version of the Lotro Mac Client from the Lotro site.

Definitely use Activity Monitor (AM) (in the Utility folder) and *not* the Force Quit option off the Apple menu.Ģ. Maybe this will help some out there understand things a bit better - here's how it played out for me:įirst off I'm on an iMac with Mojave v.
