I am Tom-Ace friend who is having the crashing problem. I have an Intel iMac with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS, running OSX 10.5.8.
The problem is just with the basic cannon icon. I tried the new titan icon, it now looks like the wisp heal icon, and the exploder has the orb of light for its EMP icon. Both of those work fine, but for any tank that has the basic cannon icon, the whole game freezes when I choose it. When I select new abilities, I can see the old cannon icon there, but if I choose it and cancel out from selecting skills the game immediately crashes. So, whatever this new icon is, I don't even have time to see it. I'm guessing its having a problem trying to load or find this new icon.
I know it sounds odd that an icon can crash the game, but this has happened to me before with other maps. When Enfo's Team Survival: MT Edition 1.88 came out, the thumbnail picture for the map caused wc3 to crash on a mac. If I even selected it from the custom games list, wc3 would suddenly exit out. I read on their forums that people were complaining about this and they fixed it in 1.89.
Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you could test the icon on a mac computer, or I'd gladly test new icons for you on mine. It could just be a format problem or something like that.
