But one can't be perfect always and hence Blizzard has listed out a number of bugs and issues with the game. These issues exist for both Windows and Mac platform users who intend to play the game. 

If you have purchased the game and are facing some issues, you better be reading the list of bugs and issues given below. Most of the times, there are incompatible software like Firewall or Antivirus prevent the games to work properly. Mac users with Snow Leopard complained about the game crashing often. Quite a number of Windows based gamers complained about Black Screens while using the Quick Cam webcam. Even running the game in compatibility mode led to game crashes and similar issues have been acknowledged here.
