Freezing when changing graphics

Since a couple days ago every time I try and change any settings in graphics the game freezes and I have to terminate from windows.

Nvidia 1070 max-q
i7-8760h

Has coincided with recent updates to BNET/NVIDIA/Win10 drivers.

PS - How do you add block text like before for DXdiag… I tried using preformmated text but it doesn’t work propyl…

Current solution is to use DirectX 11 or live with the crash (the game still saves the settings the moment you hit Apply).

You can include the DXDIAG in a reply to the forum post. Place it between rows of ticks (`) for formatting:

```
Like this.

```
If it will not allow you to post the whole thing post it on pastebin.com just post the last section of the link see the highlight section below .

Thanks but that is most definitely not a solution I’m willing to accept, given the current advantages of DX12 over 11

DX Diag -

Lets start with manually updating your version of windows. Its at least one patch behind maybe more. Make sure wow is set to use only the GTX 1070

from the character select screen
menu
system
advanced
near the bottom of the page is a drop down menu labeled Graphics card change it from auto to the GTX 1070

*** edit- Fixed! it was msi afterburner overlay… i closed it and now working

ok, did this , but problem still exists… very frustrating ;(

Did you change anything between the first dxdiag and the second? On the first the GTX 1070 is the primary adapter and on the second the Intel HD is

DO you run the steam launcher and overlay while playing wow? Another thread figured out freezing is caused by the overlay.

Yep it was the MSI /Rivertuner overlay.

Not sure why gfx card was changed, i have diff monitors maybe ?
