Vanilla client keeps freezing

Recommended Posts

This isn't related to Elysium, but rather a general question about the 1.12 client.

 

As I'm playing on another server here, the client will just randomly freeze and become completely unresponsive. Nothing else on my computer freezes, JUST the WoW client does. The whole window freezes and doesn't respond to anything, sound stops, etc...I've let it sit there for 5 minutes and it just stays frozen until I alt-f4. Has happened in combat and out of combat.

 

This never really happened before, but in the process of leveling from 1-10, it happened three times.

 

Fairly certain it's not my computer, as a 3.5ghz i5 + GTX 970 is incredibly overkill for vanilla.

 

Only thing I can think of is perhaps one of the addons causing it, but I'm not even running that many, only 10 or 11.

em def could be add ons.  Could be your route to the host.  Could be lots of stuff.  Usually the first place to start is updating drivers.  Toss out the WTF folder too to get a clean copy.

On Feenix the same problem occured mostly in Naxxramas due to viewing distance even on 1000 fps configurations. I have no idea if the problem lies in their client, their code, the Naxxramas instance on it's own or it's something that's in the basic vanilla client. Ever since that I raid with viewing distance set to the minimum. You should mess around with your viewing distance and see if there's any difference.

Savvy has a point i think, erasing WTF file might help. Also if it doesnt, erase Setup.wtf and cache folder, don't worry when you launch these will recreate themselves.

Yeah, only other time I ever remember this happening frequently is in Stratholme, and people told me to lower view distance to fix it, and that did seem to work, as far as I could tell.

 

But now it's just happening out in open areas.

 

I'll try lowering view distance a bit and see if that makes a difference.
