Error Code #132 (tried everything)

starting last night trying to adjust in game video settings, the game crashed. Every time I try to get back in I get error #132.

I’ve tried;

  • Reset In-Game Options
  • Scan and Repair
  • Additional Command Line Arguments -windowed
  • Renaming the Cache, interface and WTF folders so the game would create new folders.

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both World Of Warcraft and Blizzard App and have not re-installed add-ons.

My video card (RX 570) drivers were checked and updated, I even tried installing a different video card (R9 280) and checked and updated those drivers. I’ve run a virus scan and my system is virus free. The only thing I can’t do is a hard drive defrag, because I have a solid state drive.

Go to your WoW folder. Go into retail. Right Click your Wow.exe. Go to Properties>Compatibility. Check the box “Run this program in” Change it to Windows 7. Then ok everything out. It should work now. Let me know if it works for you please.

Currently the majority of these errors are caused by DirectX issues. Have you tried switching to DirectX 11 Legacy

The game is under maintenance. ETA is 10am Pacific time.

I will try this once the game is back up

Yeah I signed in not too long ago. Had to go afk for a bit. And now I can’t even log in. Thanks Blizzard…

Are you having the same 132 error? If not then your issue is likely going to be unrelated. If you’re just unable to connect at the moment, then its likely due to the maintenance we have going on. Info on that can be found here.

Yeah the updates time needs to be changed, that’s all. Just so we know when it’s done.

Realm status says the servers are up but battle.net app is still down and can’t log in manually.

Time frames are going to be an estimate. Per the breaking news “service to be available again at approximately 10:00 AM (PDT)”. If its not up yet then we’ll need to give it some time.

Thank you for the solution and link. The problem drove me crazy (the -d3d11legacy solved it)

Can you please explain to me why it says Disconnected from Blizzard Services?

Its not showing anything, your severs are down im sure you already now though. btw its friday and most people have not been able to play all week would be nice if the working man could play on his off time
