First of all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to bring this up, and if so, please direct me to the right forum.
As some of you probably know, there is a bug in the OSX version of WC3 when playing custom maps, where the game will crash upon displaying custom icons. Searching around the internet hasn't been very helpful, but what little I've found indicates that the crash happens because, for some maps, custom icons imported (exported?) from a program called Button Manager at certain compression levels are not compatible.
Is there anything you can do on the user-end (i.e., not the map-maker) to permanently or temporarily fix this issue? As you can imagine, this hampers mac-users' ability to play some rather cool and interesting maps!
I hope anyone has some more info on this!
What info I have, I got from the following places on the internet (incl. an old thread from the Hive):
Mac + certain map = crash on selection | The Helper
Crash with some maps using custom .blp's...why? | The Helper
