I use an imac, have no issues with retail, BUT in classic (with or without addons) I will get graphical glitches where it will digitally alter to little squares of color over bodies of npc’s sometimes the mini map, sometimes water will have lines going though it, sometimes articles of clothing or other objects will look like native american beading in color and texture.
I am running High Sierra, with a 3.1 ghz intel core i7 processor, 16gb and my graphics is NVIDIA up dated.
Like I said, no issues at all with retail, this only happens in classic and varies in what texture will be affected. Sometimes it’s totally fine. I generally play during low to medium access times for classic on the servers I play on.
I solved the issue so if anyone else is having this issue, check in your classic system while in game, go to advanced, Graphics and then uncheck auto detect and Check the graphic card you want to use. It was that simple.

Came here to post about this glitch. I do have my specific video card selected (RX 590 via eGPU) but I still get this glitch occasionally. Restarting the game fixes the issue.
Took a few pics earlier this evening when it happened.

(Remove space before com, says I can’t post links.)
The glitchy graphics seem to fade back to normal-looking as I got farther away as you can kind of see in that third picture on the square posts of the tent.
I have this issue too and checking the specific card didn’t fix it. It comes and goes for me. Sometimes /reload helps and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s a classic only thing for me also. Any help would be appreciated
This is the fix I ended up with – yes it still came and went, but then I checked half resolution and put it in full screen mode and turned the graphics up to full and have not had a problem since. Try that.
Thanks! I have since realized that the only reason/time I am having these issues is when I have the program OBS active for recording gameplay. When the software program is not active everything is smooth and fine. Anyone know a fix for this? I am on a MAC OS X 2014 iMac
The problem is not solved. I wish Blizzard would fix the problem.
I am having this problem and the recommended fix does not work. I am getting weird textures in the game basically planes that have random textures that depending on the pan or tilt of the game camera they come and go. makes it difficult to play the game or even get in dungeons
