Is your computer telling you this, or is the ! that just about everyone is seeing atm telling you that?

Or are the OOD addons that are causing terrible lag spikes and freeze ups? (I’m looking at you, MoveAnything!)

Buy a new one? You can get a gaming computer that will run WoW for $500 these days.

even on the used market there is some amazing deals out there

I’d totally suggest saving up for a new one, if it can’t run WoW anymore it’s totally time for an upgrade.

I am sorry for your loss.

I would ask for your gold but if your computer can’t run the game, I assume you can’t get to it.

Another tip, start saving now. Black Friday is coming up soon, you can snag one hell of deal then and I doubt SL is releasing before that.

I’m picking up the vibe that they’re not in the US.

Sorry to hear you’re having issues.

What are the specs on your current rig, OP?

The only thing that my rig can’t do is ray tracing since its locked to 20XX series cards and higher. But from what I hear, enabling it costs you a 40% performance hit. Sorry, sharper shadows are not worth that lmao.

Your computer could handle BFA but not Shadowlands?

I wouldnt think there is that much difference between the two

Is MoveAnything known to cause lag spikes, or it’s just because it’s ood atm?

Hopefully it becomes somewhat playable once again when all the addons gets updated properly and the dust settles, OP.

The engine got upgraded in 9.0.1 to require a more modern shader. This caused alot of really old computers to stop working with this new patch.

AMD-A6-6400K APU w Radeon Graphics 3.90 ghz

6 g Ram

64 bits.

I fulfilled a dream playing this game, I was too poor to pay a subscription before, and every time I saw the epic videos of the players on YouTube, I wished to play this game with the community that I hear so much about …

But I think I came to the game at a bad time.

It had its funny moments, others frustrating.

But hey, at least I was part of world of warcraft at least for a short time.

It heal my loneliness at least a little.

Enjoy the game for me, I will cheer you on from afar!

And forgive my anger moments in BG.

That is what I did, took me 8 months but I saved enough to build the PC I wanted and it was best choice I’ve made in a long time.

Sorry to hear that, hope you can upgrade soon.

Yeah I had to buy a new computer when BFA hit. It sucked but now I’m glad I did.

Those specs are a tad low for these days tbh. Have you tried toning down your graphics quality?

Not everyone has the money to just buy a new pc, especially now. It’s been a very hard year for a lot of us.
