How can I install Diablo 3 if I use FileVault?
The official FAQ says that FileVault and FileVault2 are incompatible with Diablo 3. How can I install Diablo 3 on my Mac if my harddrive uses FileVault?
Question from user thedagit at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
Blizzard's archive format is incompatible with FileVault due to its low level nature. To get around this problem, you need to move the installer to a partition that does not use FileVault. I would also recommend installing it to a partition that does not use FileVault as well, in case later game updates use the MPQ archive format as well.
I was able to use the following steps to get around this:.
Created a new partition of suitable size (I went with 50GB).
Moved the installer to that new partition.
Created an "Applications" folder on that partition.
Launched the D3 installer from the new partition.
Selected the "Applications" folder on the new parition.
This allows you to keep FileVault enabled on your primary partition while also installing Diablo3. That is, you get the best of both worlds at the cost of creating a special partition for Diablo3. This way you do not have to disable FileVault for your entire computer.
