WoW: Forever Beta Gets New Client Build With Mac, Gamepad Fixes
Blizzard released WoW: Forever beta client 1.60.1 (Build 69977) on September 22, fixing Mac display and stability issues plus gamepad navigation problems. The update follows an earlier fix for EU latency and comes as Blizzard continues weekly beta client updates ahead of the game's November 4 launch.
WowheadNew Build 1.60.1 Targets Mac and Controller Bugs
Blizzard's Kaivax announced on September 22 (00:54 UTC Sept 23) that beta testers could update to client 1.60.1, Build 69977, via the Battle.net App. The build fixes unspecified display and stability issues on Macs, improves controller navigation on the character selection screen when launched with gamepad active, and lets players interact with quest-giving items using a gamepad. Blizzard noted the build also includes other fixes not testable in-game, and confirmed the next full weekly update is planned for September 24. Wowhead separately reported on the same client update.
Earlier Patch Addressed EU Latency Complaints
Two days before the client update, on September 21, Wowhead reported that Blizzard had implemented fixes aimed at high latency problems affecting European players in the WoW: Forever beta. This report has not been confirmed by an official Blizzard statement among available sources, so details of the specific EU latency fixes remain unverified. It is unclear whether this work is related to the display and stability fixes included in the September 22 client build.
