Since I resubbed to wow recently after a few months of a break, I’ve found a weird issue that just now has came up. (This did not happen with 8.3 when I left, so I don’t think its the patch’s fault.)
For some reason whenever I press play, there’s a coinflip between actually loading the game, or flashing both my computer screens on and off, and then bluescreening my computer.
I’ve already tried moving files to a different SSD, repairing, and reinstalling, but not sure what else could be the issue other than a graphics card error (which is a GTX 1660-Ti, barely a few months old)
Any takers?
I’m having the exact same problem. No idea why - also, Battle.net can’t locate my game files immediately after a fresh installation and subsequent blue screen.
I actually found a (possible) fix that’s worked so far.
- With the Battle.net desktop app opened and WoW selected click on Options
- Select Game Settings
- Find WoW and check the box for Additional command line arguments
- In the new box enter the command for the desired DirectX version:
- -d3d11legacy
- -d3d11
- -d3d12
- Click Done to save.
This is from their website. I’m wondering if something with windows 7, some nvdia GPUs, or something is having issues with dx12. I just bumped down to 11, and so far no other breaks.
Thanks, that seems to work for me as well! Really appreciate you following up on this.
