Well, for what’s worth? All the realms are still down because maintenance is still on-going. I wouldn’t worry too much until things are all back up and running.

Try this thread. We think we fixed the issue: Can't launch game after patch 10.2 downloaded

scan/repair shutdown/reboot did not remedy the issue. They simply just might not be done with the patching process??? Cany anyone else log in right now and see the server status like normal?

I can. The reboot did not work for me post-scan and repair function. I had to actually select shutdown from Windows, wait for 20 seconds, then turn the CPU back on. Then I was able to get the game going and see server statuses

Also having this issue. Nothing worked.

It worked for me also :slight_smile: Though you got to figure they will fix it at some point to work with 12 right ?

Got this problem too. gfx drivers updated and everything else on my pc is working properly.

I’ve been told it’s a problem unique to AMD cards.

I believe this is the case. A friend of mine has an AMD card and gets a black screen and can’t continue. We found out if he switches to DX11, then he’s able to login but the frames are horrendous. Not sure what’s wrong with AMD’s drivers and WoW’s DX12 right now.

Here’s how to change it:
Click the Battle.net button and Settings. Select Game Settings.
Under World of Warcraft, check the box for Additional Command Line Arguments.
Type: -d3d11

Turn off AMD image sharpening and Anti lag That just worked for me.

15

That didn’t work for me:

Radeon Anti-Lag - Disabled
Radeon Image Sharpening - Disabled
=> Black screen and crash

Battle.net > Game Settings > ✓ Additional command line arguments
type in the box “-d3d11”
=> Game runs with somewhat impaired framerate than before

Someone posted that if you let it hang for 5 mins, it’ll load and then start loading normally again. Testing rn. Can confirm my game loads normally again with DX12.
