Help with game freezing

I’ve recently returned to WoW after a long break and am having an issue with the game. It started as annoying at early levels but now that I’m starting to group for dungeons is exasperated.

My issue is that the game will randomly freeze. Not in the way that a typical application freezes as in “not responding”. I can still walk around and move my character but no actions (skills, talk to NPCs, log out) can be performed. The only way I can resolve this is by using Task Manager to close the game and start it up again.

I was told it might be my graphic setting so I turned them down but still having the same issue. I’m not having any lag in the game at all. Just randomly having this issue. Does anyone know what the issue could be or any resolution? It sucks being kicked from a dungeon leaving my team in a bind and then I have to wait to try again hoping it won’t happen the next time.

Also, I planned to add the DxDiag and SystemSummary info to help diagnose but didn’t see a way to add those here.

Thank you!

Addons most of the time.

To add “D’s” all is needed is:

Three ~ in a row then below.
Three ~ in a row.

I don’t have any add ons at all.

DxDiag and SystemSummary info to help diagnose but didn’t see a way to add those here


Like above

This is embarrassing but I cannot figure out how to get the info here. The quote method isn’t working. It’s far too large a file to paste it. Am I misunderstanding?

On a side note, looking at the MSInfo however I do see the following at the end.

You are missing a back slash above , not sure if the forum will let you.

The three " ~ " in a row …

Your stuff…

Three " ~ " in a row to end it.

It will make a box like I did.



If this site will not let you...
Just upload and put the end here.

Okay let’s try this. It won’t let me put everything but I tried to include what I think is important

Last entry is “MEmu is a free Android emulation software”.
It may be interacting with wow.

If you can temp uninstall it to see if it is the issue.

Also let windows control your page file.
Other issues may be at the bottom of the file.

I’ll give that a go and report back. Thank you!

If your DxDiag does not fit in one message do not shorten it. Instead, post it on Pastebin.com and provide the link to it, or the hash code (the numbers/letters after the .com) in your reply.

You can do the same with the MSinfo.
