Macbook pro hangs when playing Warcraft 3

Hello everyone,

I have installed WC3 and Frozen Throne, from the official discs.
Whenever I play on 1680x1050(32bit) the computer hangs and I need to shut it off by pressing the power button.
It happens on both 9400 and 9600 graphic cards.

That does not happen when playing on 1680x1050 16bit (which looks awful).
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

**32 and 16bit resolutions are selected from ingame settings*
**using LG 22" external monitor and macbook pro 2.4Ghz.*

Hi ZenorGR,

I can't say I've ever run WC3 @ 1680x1050 but I've played the game for several hours at 1440x900 on a 23" Cinema Display.

Have you tried any other resolutions besides the 1680x1050? If so, does the locking up occur on any of these resolutions? For the sake of troubleshooting, we might need to drop it down a few tiers to see if the issue is reproducible.

i play wcIII but don't have frozen throne but i play at 1920x1200 everything maxed and no lockups. And i don't even need to use the 9600, it plays smooth on the 9400. have u got the latest patches for it?
