I am thinking this windowed mode is also going to toward the issue I am having.
Get a huge raid and the raiders do AOE, the server crashes and everyone freezes, bigger the raid, chance you're going to be locked out, not able to hearth, move...
Windowed mode is just a nightmare performance wide..
I hate those "I don't have an issue, so the issue doesn't exist". As posted on the first post.
The mass AOE/Raid, freeze out also goes unanswered.
Blizzard's blatant avoidance of this issue is flat-out disrespectful.
Pretty much told my guild last night that I will be forced to take an indefinite hiatus from WoW until something happens. Yay for EQ at least. It's funny that a 20+ year old game has more stability and reliability than WoW does.

I am not happy with the changes, but I think what's going on is that Blizzard decided to streamline their graphics rendering so future expansions are cheaper to produce. They also took out old models. Anyway, I think they expect a fair number of people to quit over this, but they are willing to take the hit. If they really revamped some of their graphics, it would be rather costly to put fullscreen back in, and then continue supporting it in the future.
I don't expect the devs to reinstate fullscreen anytime soon, and I don't expect my subscription to last much longer, either.

I was wondering about something and can't seem to find anything regarding it. I know that the original EU thread was locked, but did Telemacharas ever respond to any different threads after that initial response?

I just wish I had an answer why they removed it for DX11 users. Like I can understand DX12 but why mess with us too?

To my knowledge I don't think he has. But we can only hope he's still trying to help us behind the scenes. And again I can't believe the complete silence on this issue. This has been going on for over 2 weeks now...
I really wish Blizzard had a specific section for feedback threads.
All the important threads just get constantly buried by useless garbage in the general section..

Indeed. It's pretty annoying that we have to compete with irrelevant things such as "Coke vs Pepsi? Which is better?!" And other things of that nature. But we must march on...

They aren't listening and don't care. They still act like they are the only game in town. Arrogance and stupidity, Blizzard in a nutshell. It's no wonder that WoW is mostly just empty servers now.
Their loss, I don't pay incompetent people.
I want my anti-aliasing back. They got rid of the last two options that were above MSAA 8x.
I want full screen back.
I want DX12 support for my GTX 1080 Ti. (I know this is a NVidia problem, not more so Blizzard.)
Why take this away from us?
I used the highest anti-aliasing to see my characters name and others because I like to zoom out. I play in 1080p because my monitor is 144hz, I like the higher refresh rate rather than on my 60fps 4k.

I hate the removal as well.
But maybe because DX11 is going away next expansion.. i don't mean BFA.. i mean in 2020.
Who knows.. We've been using DX11 since when MOP? correct me if i'm wrong. i dunno maybe WOD..
But ya... DX12 will be the new thing anyway.
Another thing... I'm shocked by the complete lack of attention this issue is getting from the WoW YouTube community. I've only been able to find like one video related to the issue...

The game has become a choppy mess thanks to no fullscreen. My performance is garbage and I can't even utilize the hardware I bought sadly (Gsync monitor, SLI 980ti).

This slid right by me - I didn't even notice. But I did kind of wonder why I got more glitches and freezes.
Its not going away in 2020. They will have to support Dx11 until at least the end of their support for windows 8.107/30/2018 06:24 PMPosted by Kolkol07/30/2018 03:51 PMPosted by ShockslayerI just wish I had an answer why they removed it for DX11 users.

Further, as popular as this API is it may hang around a lot longer than people think
Bring it back blizz Jesus. Dx11 supports efc so bring it back. Insert my heart will go on meme
Oh and there are more than a few really good older video cards that don't support directx 12 because driver support ended at an older version of directx.
So even if you ignore Windows 7, which you shouldn't, Windows 10 users can still be restricted to directx versions prior to directx 12.
Exclusive fullscreen is still very relevant and performs better than any windowed mode in a variety of situations.
Dropping exclusive fullscreen was not good for customer choice, satisfaction, or retention. Not a good way to get, or keep customers.

Okay, serious question, how can EFS can be useful over borderless, what kind of benefit does it have? Are we talking 2 FPS difference or what?
Why doesnt gsynch work in dx12 - it barely makes a difference in dx11 - it gives me a headache playing this game without fullscreen, even with all the interface tweaks. I got fps up some, but its still 30-40% less than patch. I dont tab screens i play for hours on end, i demand fullscreen.
