Community report
Mixed outcomes · no universal fix
This is hardware-specific community evidence. Fair is not a guaranteed fix; do not repeatedly reproduce a system reboot.
What to check next
- Exit the beta and update through Battle.net before comparing with the older Mac report. September 24 notes do not identify a numeric build or every hardware-specific crash as fixed.
- Compare the report with your hardware, client build and location.
- If the normal graphics menu is accessible, record the previous setting before trying Secondary Lighting at Fair.
- If that fails, preserve the failure and stop repeating the crash. Note the location and whether the symptom differs from the original report.
