Rosetta 2 Deadlock on M4 Pro

Rosetta 2 Deadlock on M4 Pro

January 2026 Blizzard update causes a deadlock in Rosetta 2 on M4 chips. CodeWeavers (the developer of CrossOver) has analyzed the issue and identified it as a Rosetta translation failure, not a CrossOver application-level bug.

Hardware: M4 Pro Mac Book Pro

System: Tahoe 26.2

Impacted Software:

  • CrossOver 25.1.1
  • Diablo II: Resurrected

M3 Pro same same

Do you have a bug number for this?

Same problem on Mac mini M2 Pro

It’s better to reply as a reply, rather than in the comments; see Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for this and other titbits.

Bug Number: FB21838832

Thanks for that.

You only just filed this bug, so I’ve no news to share yet.

It looks like the CodeWeavers’ folks did a bunch of research into this. Do you know if they filed a bug about it?

CodeWeavers already had an open bug for OverWatch 2, that same bug also affects Diablo2:Resurrected

I‘m also aware of another Rosetta2 bug they have open that affects legacy WoW clients.

Do you have FBnnn numbers for any of those?

That would be FB15880492

I this now also affects Diablo 4 Test Realm/ that version might now be live with the Diablo 30th anniversary updates landing for both Diablo 4 & Diablo 2

I was just informed that FB21763885 might be more detailed and more easily reproducible.
