Have you double checked that it’s still on max settings? I noticed that a bunch of my settings got bumped down in the patch for some reason.

Someone in guild mentioned they were having graphics issues last night. Mine seemed to have jumped up so something got changed I’m thinking.
yes, confirmed that textures are still at maximum setting. resolution is also the same as it was before. is there another setting that deals with character models?
I’ve seen this before. What I tend to do is double check that I have updated my graphic card drivers. Then check to see what Bliz reverted to default from my setting. Usually most of them were reset so I end up having to keep a list on a note pad of the settings I am most concerned with maintaining.
Depending on what exactly you’re seeing, it might be anti-aliasing settings, or maybe something about shadows or dynamic lighting.
Yes, I have a legion artifact weapon I use that has a colored outline around it. Up close the outline is smooth, but when the camera pans back, the outline is a jaggy mess, and I spent waaaaay too much time last night playing with different AA settings tryin to get my graphics to look like they were prior to this patch.
And I have yet to get it back.
With certain angles I’m getting really awful camera stutter. Yeah, there are definitely some graphical issues atm.
yesterday I experienced what you described, settings were all as I left them on Monday.
I was also getting a pause in framerate when I moved the camera too fast or the like…
I turned down my settings since then praying it was just server side, it seemed to have helped.
I haven’t turned my settings back up yet.

Mine improved and run better oddly. But i do have a gaming laptop.
My graphics aren’t much different from before. I had to fine tune my settings a bit, but after the dust settled my game looked pretty much the same.
I only notice it’s a bit more laggy than before.

All settings for gfx have been rest. Go into your gfx settings and change them to your old set up. At least that’s what it was for me
This seems to be a common issue

ok, good to know. I know my comp is real good for high settings in wow, but it is quite the frankenstein so that’s always in the back of my mind that some compatibility issues may pop up xD Hello Win11 and no TPM xDD
I have a decent graphics card and the update lowered my settings to 5 where as I was running on max setting before. I find it such a trip that i can play so many if not all other games at max at least 1080 p settings yet with WOW. It runs my system hot. This is another reason why I am not happy with the game. It’s coding makes my hardware strain. It’s ridiculous to need a high end pc to run this old as dirt mmo LOL.
Default GFX went from 10 (Ultra) prior to patch and I jumped on and it was default at 3 today. had to re-bump it all. Turn off V Sync in almost all cases, download new drivers if you haven’t in past week.
Highly agreed here, I could say the same thing. A far cry from back in the day when I had less money and computer knowledge, and the game had pretty low reqs, which made it more accessible- WoW really used to be for everyone once upon a time.
Check your Render Scale. Mine got changed from 100% to 66%.
Mine isn’t grainy. But it definitely looks different. But that is actually a positive. It feels way smoother now! I’ve had constant trouble with graphical stuff since I got my new PC two years ago. The PC itself has had a myriad of issues but I’m also just not at all good with technical stuff. So to see it suddenly working a whole lot better is absolutely thrilling.
