Freezing in quest turn ins

[Thundestrike-stormrage]

A temporary fix was found from this forum post.

@Antisocial-illidan

I found this fix via reddit and it SEEMS to have worked

I think there’s an issue with game logs since patch and it affects slower storage drives.

This has worked for me:

Go to your installation location and then: " retail "

Open the “Logs” folder.

Find the Hotfix file and right click > Properties

Go to Security >Select Everyone>Edit>check Deny for everything

Hit apply.

It’s writing a lot of lines (seemingly errors) in the short time of 1 second after turning in or completing a quest/world quest, looting rares/chests etc. Removing its ability to write seems to fix the problems for me at least.

EDIT: Some people have reported experiencing launching the game from the Battlenet client reverts the permission changes. Try launch the game from the _retail _folder instead if this solution didn’t work the first time. Make sure the game doesn’t run as administrator.
