For purposes of feedback:
1. I have installed the latest version of CrossOver, with Tralfazz's recommended settings.
2. Ingame freezes on my main character continue to manifest themselves in an...

On January 5th 2023, my version of Lotro, which had been working perfectly well for over a year, suddenly developed a terrifying glitch. Whilst taking part in a Hiddenhoard T2 raid, my main character...

All too true, as of course I discovered! Now trying to see whether the random freezing affects my main character only. It's the sheer randomness which is so frustrating, as the behavour appears to be...

1. I had already reset NVRAM through the Terminal as you advised, ant it seems to have worked as far as Bluetooth is concerned!
2. See my suspicion, noted in a late edit to my previous post, that...

Well, you have to laugh. After doubling RAM, moving CrossOver and Lotro to a new external SSG 1TB drive, after deleting my previous copy of Lotro and downloading again into a completely new CrossOver...

OK. I hate to tempt fate, but this may be my final report. Fingers crossed. CrossOver reinstalled Lotro into a new bottle all by itself. This morning it loaded smoothly, and the game gave every...

I am kind of heartbroken to have to report that after a month, an epic exchange of posts and a lot of hard work by you, Tralfazz, I am back very precisely and exactly where I was a month ago: on my...

New drive had been correctly partitioned, but I reformatted anyway to a single partition. I also realised that the LOTRO bottle export file was probably corrupt (that bit about "end of file" issue),...

This is just for background update (see screen shot); it looks as though the gods really need for me to to make a new Lotro bottle, which I shall duly proceed to do.

Well, so far, so good. A Samsung 1TB SSD has been acquire and connected, partitioned in two equal parts, and Monterey has been uploaded to one of the partions, now called Monterey OS. I then carried...

Thank you for that very detailed response. I am currently sourcing both the SanDisk 1tb and the Samsung 2tb you recommend; both are available here, so it's a question of best price. I'm tempted to...

The best price I have found so far is for a SanDisk Ext. SSD 2.5" E30 Rugged 480GB drive, but it uses a USB 3.2 Type-C connection rather than a USB 3.0 gen1; would that exclude it?
The other...

As ever, thank you for your help.

First of all, let me admit that I boobed by writing that I had set the Texture Cache size to zero; it has in fact been kept at 1.0 ever since you advised me...

After the long exchange of messages at the beginning of the year, I am very sad to have report that my problems have, in a very short time, come back despite all the steps taken to resolve them.
...

The problem persists, but I have 8GB of RAM on order which should reach me by Monday.

However, here are some interesting facts for your database. I ran a HoA T1 today, and confirmed that repeated...

Thanks once again; will try the first options at once.

RAM problem is quite simple: I live in Greece, and Mac doesn't have a presence in Greece worth a damn. I used to make use of Amazon UK, but...

Bad news... Last night tried to run an HoA T3, and froze/crashed several times in Boss 3 - admittedly, a chaotic fight with a vast number of mobs. Today I tried an HoA t2, and froze at the usual...

Hello again, Tralfazz. This is to confirm that all is indeed well; I have run HoA T2 and several instances with no further problems!

I will definitely add to my RAM. Looking at local prices now.
...

What we have here is a 2.12 TB Fusion Drive.. A large quantity of probably superfluous information follows below, copied from System Report.

More relevant to your suggestion is the information...

Does this contain everything you need? If not, specify what's missing and where I can find it!

Model Name: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
Model Identifier: iMac17,1

Taking the cache size down to zero didn't help; running HoA at T3 I froze three times, at roughly the usual spots.

I then took the size all the way up to 10, and ran a HoA T1 which was entirely...

Thanks, Tralfazz. Running the raid again tonight, so I will try the first suggestion, and report back!

Just looked at the current setting for capture cache size: it is at 0.10; changing that to...

After several months of pain-free gaming with Crossover, my game has developed a nasty glitch. Namely, it either freezes for anything from a few seconds to a couple of minutes (!), after which it...

Thank you; thought so, just checking...

On thing hasn't been mentioned: Valars are great for experienced players, but are close to useless for new and less dedicated players. Why? Because if you are a less experienced player who Valars a...
