Persistent Error #132

Ever since race changing a character to Zandalari on 03/12/2019 I have been receiving the following error when logging onto characters and/or after task managering out of the game because it’s hanging during portals or inducing monstrous lag after changes to settings or zone changes:


This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal exception!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft_retail_\Wow.exe
ProcessID: 7860
Exception: ACCESS_VIOLATION

The instruction at “0x00007ffe22aef7be” referenced memory at “0x00000000000000a0”,
The memory could not be “read”.

Press OK to terminate the application.


I have tried the following fixes:

  • Completely uninstalling/reinstalling the game.
  • Running the repair tool.
  • Completely uninstalling/reinstalling graphics drivers.
  • Turning off Windows 10’s Xbox-related game recording software and overlay.
  • Deleting Cache/Interface/WTF folders (seems to help temporarily but since this resets video and sound settings and changing those causes game to lag out to the point of having to task manager out this is not a permanent fix).
  • Selective startup.

Game will sometimes launch/run after a full reboot of the game and computer but unclear why. Unable to log onto Zandalari character at all at this point though have periodically been able to get onto one other character, though having to task manager out of the game repeatedly any time I enter/leave an instance or attempt to use Hearthstone is making them impossible to play as well.

Please help? Completely out of ideas on what to do since have attempted all full reinstalls and updates and game has simply stopped working since patch/race change (error only started occurring after processing race change, was working after 3/12 initial patch).

Here is the earliest error message I still have (since the reinstall completed: 6kYdSr3y

Do you run Overwolf or Discord? If so disable oversold and disable the discord overlay.

How to disable the overlay

  1. Click on the System Tray to show hidden icons.
  2. Double-click the Discord icon.
  3. Click on the Settings icon.
  4. Click on Overlay on the navigation bar.
  5. Switch "Enable in-game overlay " to off.

Looks like disabling Discord overlay may have fixed! I was able to log onto the Zandalari character, zone change in/out of an instance, and use Hearthstone to Zuldazar without issues on both characters. Some kind of compatibility error they might fix in the future??

Thanks so much for the help. :slight_smile:

Update - not resolved. Got the same crashing error when hearthing to Dalaran :frowning:
