Whenever I click on the Sets tab, almost all of the rendered assets on-screen disappear and then reload. It’s only ever happened starting today. May be related to the Stromgarde Tabard transmog.

This is happening when I open even my character pane and then randomly at other times basically bricking my entire UI on top of a long period of the game window glitching out. Game isn’t playable.
Edit: This is with all addons disabled.

Happening to me too, with icons going green

Looking like it could be a resource issue. Chrome with YT running in the background in particular makes it easy to recreate this issue (I’m on a laptop at the moment with only 16gb RAM), though why it’s started happening today I can’t say when it’s not been an issue all expansion.
Exactly.
I’ve played on various systems over 15+ yrs, all above the game’s minimum spec. I’ve never seen this issue. Ever. It’s weird how it basically drops most of the screens rendered images (players, terrain, etc) and I still see parts of the outline of whatever tab was being displayed at the time. Then in about 3-5secs everything loads back in.
I wasn’t on the newest Nvidia driver, so i updated that and it’s actually worse now.

I cannot even use transmog, none of the items load, my entire screen flickers, all my UI icons go green until I /reload.
This started immediately after the patch.
They did something that broke it today.
And I just updated Nvidia today too

This was happening primarily when I had Chrome open in the background, especially with YT running and when I disabled hardware acceleration for Chrome, it seems to have fixed the issue (hopefully).
I had the same issue. Just want to let you all know that switching from Direct X 12 to Direct X 11 and setting my graphics card from autodetect to the actual card seems to have fixed this. My guess is some WoW/DX12 compatibility issues.

Same issue here
It’s definitely not a resource issue, I have 64 GBs of ram and a 4070 Ti Super and it’s happening to me with 0 addons
there’s something messed up with the game - i’m trying to verify and repair my game files now to see if something fixes it

Throwing my hat in the ring for having this happen to me as well. It only seems to happen after 15-20 minutes of playing, then doing something that has to render onto the screen [i.e. opening the transmog collection tab, or hovering the mouse over an item in the bag to bring up its tooltip].
The game freezes for 3-5 seconds, then the entire game world disappears and reloads around me. Any icons on the UI that pertain to addons will end up changing to a very bright green square, like the assets for it failed to load or something. This can be resolved by reloading the UI, but that doesn’t stop it from happening again another 15-20 minutes later.
Experiencing exact same issue here and multiple Guild members are reporting this as well on Discord. Only way to resolve it is to logout of the game completely and then back in.
Well it’s stupid that I have to go back to DX11 but it worked.

Awesome this fixed this issue, praise the sun!
Fixed the issue for me as well, thanks for the info.
Thank you for the reminder to check the API. Swapping back to DirectX 11 did correct it, but I still classify it as an unresolved bug due to the fact that it was something introduced with yesterday’s patch, and now I must rely on older API for stability.
Thank you!!! This worked!!!
Is this something that can be done from outside the game? Wondering if switching to DX11 might help the CTD I’ve been getting since the patch.
