Yeah and its being heavily reported on the EU currently. Major game breaking issue for many.
Yes, I have had this problem for a few weeks now. Whenever a dialogue box comes up, or sometimes when I open a window in-game (such as transmog or mail or character), the game will freeze (video, not audio), and if I leave it alone, it will usually work again after about 7-10 seconds, which is bad if youāre in combat such as pvp. I have shut down all addons and now have fun the repair scan, which has started an update. I hope that it has a fix in it. This is regular WoW Iām in, not Classic.
@Andragor that is the same problem I and many others are having as well.
Hey Qamala,
Any luck with Caterpepiās suggestions? We can take a more in-depth look at this if you want to submit a ticket.
Just to confirm, we donāt have any confirmed bugs that would be causing this issue since 8.3.7, however we are tracking reports to see if we can identify any commonalities between hardware/software setups. It does seem to occur more with DirectX 11 rather than DirectX 12 from what Iāve seen.
We have a request here to gather system files and more info from players experiencing freezing/lockups since 8.3.7, so thatās where Iād recommend anyone else with similar issues post and follow-up on. We want to keep the reports centralized as much as possible.

Same problem
Small indie something
I tried reinstalling the game twice, no luck. I am using Win7 and I donāt believe that is compatible with DX12. I have updated to the latest version of DX11, though.
I will open a ticket.
@Qamala as did I, including rolling back to multiple drivers ranging back to last year. Issues are still persisting.
Question for people with this issue like myself.
Do you have discord open when the drivers crashes?
No. 10charisstupid
Can confirm no discord open during these issues.
Let me say this though, Iāve been playing WoW since the 04 launch, Iāve never had this bad of an issue with stability. Making stable play very difficult and essentially forcing me to stop playing a game I love.
I in no way blame the GMās in this board and in Bliz tech support in general, but this is what we get when a company splits its self between three different builds; Shadowlands, classic, and live. While also having cut a quantity of employees last year.
@Jambrix I appreciate the effort but this issue is being widely reported on this board and on the EU board. If this and the other pressing issues such as people getting Error 132 dc, cant be fixed in a reasonable amount of time Blizzards decline has been pretty stark and obvious as a paying customer of WoW since 04.
I too started having these issues, starting around when 8.3.7 happened. I would get the āDisplay drivers has stopped responding and recoveredā when Iād get a dialogue pop up or loading into an area and immediately having a World Quest there. A few other randoms times with opening the map or collection tab.
Which after countless āfixesā I started to get ā3D acceloration has failed to startā.
