Mac Client hangs 'Getting in Line to Connect' and a little while later just dies

[cranmeister]

I think this has been happening for about two weeks. MacOS 10.14.1. Am Able to log in, but then the described behavior happens. Anyone else having this issue recently?

One of many symptoms I have been having.

Is it possibvle for you to try paralells desktop and set the graphics manually to directx 9?
Just to try?

So after the patch came out last week (the week before Christmas), I was able to login with the mac client again. Unfortunately, that stopped working over the weekend and I'm back to the 'Getting in Line to Connect' never succeeding.

Today I tried again and the same-old, same-old failure, so I decided to dig a little deeper. I brought up a terminal and looked to see what was running when I started up the launcher:

% pgrep -lf dnd
985 /Applications/dndLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS/dndlauncher
56680 /Applications/dndLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/dndclient.app/Contents/MacOS/dndclient

When it finally timed out and the window disappeared, I noticed that 56680 was *still* running

% pgrep -lf dnd
56680 /Applications/dndLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/dndclient.app/Contents/MacOS/dndclient

I actually killed that process and restarted the launcher. This time the game came up fine.
Leads me to theorize that a previous start-up failed to exit properly, and that stuck process then prevented me connecting so long as it was running.

Yesterday's patch seems to have fixed the hangup issues.

This information was very useful to me because I have this problem a lot of times and need to delete all game files and folders and install again to can play.

Thanks!
