World of Warcraft doesn't launch ever since upgrade to Mojave

I've already taken this issue to Blizzard devs and they told me this is a problem on Apple's side.

I have completely deleted and reinstalled the game multiple times. I have reinstalled Mojave. The error that shows up in console is this:

Lsd Unable to load Info.plist exceptions (eGPUOverrides)

Battle net Unable to load Info.plist exceptions (eGPUOverrides)

World of Warcraft Unable to load Info.plist exceptions (eGPUOverrides)

I do not have an external graphics card.

I have attempted to downgrade back to High Sierra, but apparently it is no longer available in the app store.

What is the most strange is that the game was actually loading and working normally for a couple weeks after I initially upgraded to Mojave, and then I logged off last weekend to make dinner and do dishes and came back a while later and it no longer loaded, but nothing had changed in my system.

I've been credited a month of game time for this problem, but I don't have a sub to cancel because I prepaid 6 months in advance. So I'd really like to get this issue cleared up so that time doesn't go to waste.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Mojave (10.14.1), null

Sorry but it's Blizzard's fault for not updating the Mac version of the game to work with Mojave. They had six months. I posted the link above on how to downgrade. You can Get macOS High Sierra.

If Blizzard thinks it's an Apple problem then they must know what the problem is and should have explained it. It is odd that it worked for a couple weeks and then stopped without anything changing with the system.

It is possible to downgrade to High Sierra. https://www.imore.com/how-downgrade-macos

You didn't read my post. The game WORKED on Mojave up until last week when it suddenly didn't anymore for no apparent reason. I had made no other changes to my system in the short time that it worked and then didn't.

The link you provided says I need to have a copy of High Sierra, but I'm unable to downgrade to High Sierra because it's not available in the App Store and I don't have a downloaded copy because I never imagined I would need one.

They said it is an OS problem, so there's nothing they can do about it on their end.

Sorry. That's not saying anything. That's no different than them saying it's Apple's fault.

So if it worked in Mojave previously, what exactly is Apple's fault? And I posted the link to High Sierra. As far as it not being available…

Thanks. Oddly it didn't show up when I searched for it. I'll keep you informed on what happens.

So an update: I have not been able to downgrade to High Sierra yet, so instead I wiped my Mac and reinstalled from scratch. The game still will not launch. This is clearly an issue with the OS.

Yes, because it is Apple's fault. It's some sort of error in the OS, which is why I came to these forums looking for help.

I'm not able to downgrade to High Sierra because it's not available on the App Store. I may have to install Windows using Bootcamp just to play WoW, which should not be necessary because the game was working fine on Mojave up until last week.

Some help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
