Yesterday after playing for an hour or so, Classic has become a nightmare. All sound is stuttering constantly, ambient noises are particularly bad. I’m getting occasional video stuttering as well and task manager says Classic is taking up nearly 50% of my GPU memory all of a sudden while just sitting open in the tray.
I don’t have an Nvidia card so I don’t think it’s related to the conflict some folks are having with the new Nvidia driver update. I uninstalled RealTek and rebooted my computer and it fixed it but after running for 10 or so minutes it was back. Have uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled WoW, put it on my SSD instead of my HDD, disabled and enabled all addons one by one. Nothing has fixed it for more than a few minutes.
Anyone having a similar problem? Game is unplayable with sound right now.

All other games are fine, multiple browsers/websites are fine. This is extremely confusing and frustrating.
Hi Wapeist
You mention disabling addons. In some cases that won’t help - they pseudo load. Best test there is the full UI reset. You can return to your original addon settings after the test.
As I mentioned this is a test. If it doesn’t help simply remove the OLD from your original folders then delete the new folders the game installed. This will return your original settings
Give that a go then let me know.

Nope, still doing it even after that.
It seems to randomly fix itself temporarily, like I just put it in Windowed mode and manually full screened the game and the stutter slowly went away.
Edit: Broken again after playing for an hour or so
Alright - let’s take a look at your DXDiag system report next.
The second section of page has DXDiag report instructions - we don’t require the MSinfo report.
That will be a wall of text. If you have issues pasting on the Forum here go ahead and put it up on pastebin.com. Provide the link code portion of the URL - example below.
(The green bold portion at the end of this example link: https://pastebin.com/Qk28Ed1P <=== this code)
Alternately you can place the link in a Preformatted Text box. Paste the link in the chatbox - then highlight it. Click the preformatted text button along the top of the chatbox - looks like this </>
Will look like this example afterwards:

My frames are randomly taking a complete crap too, especially close to water
Sorry about the delay responding. Wasn’t on forum yesterday. I see some Windows errors. Let’s check the Windows Install.
Type cmd in the Windows search box. Right click on Command Prompt that appears - select “Run as Administrator”
At the Command Prompt cursor type or paste: (after pasting click enter key to start things)
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth (takes a minute - then at C prompt run)
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth (this and the next command can take awhile)
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
*While running DISM using the /RestoreHealth or /ScanHealth, you could notice the process may seem stuck at 20% or 40%, normal behavior. After a few minutes the scan will finish. When the bar reaches 100% it may seem to stall give it some time.
Next run the System File Check command. It will take 10 minutes or so.
sfc /scannow (space between sfc and /scannow)
If sfc /scannow finds errors the tool will attempt to repair them. It will print that out. If it prints successful repairs - great. If it prints “could not repair all” - run it again.
Note - If you are typing the commands there is a space before each slash symbol - /
I actually fixed it by rolling Windows back, it had updated the day before while I was at work and was messing up, as usual.
Good to see - give things a test now then.
So Windows essentially force updated itself, I staved it off as long as I could. Even now with multiple driver updates and a fresh windows update I am getting the issue again.
I just ran the cmd prompts you threw up a month ago, it repaired broken files. Will restart and see if it changed anything.
Go to your Windows Update Groto. Type update in Windows search box. Then click Check for Updates. On that pane look for View Update History. On the Quality Updates and Other Updates do you see any update failures?
On the same pane - click the Check for Updates box. See what happens.
There’s an optional update but nothing else
Let’s get that optional update installed. Then check the updates again - hit the button.
Still there after the updates.
Groto - I was looking over the DXDiag report. Looks like you are on the release Bios or close to it for that MSI board. There are 11 bios updates after that. If you are capable you might update the Bios. Likely a youtube out there for that MSI board showing procedure.

AMD likes updated chipset drivers as well:

Think that did the trick. I was having issues updating the BioS awhile ago and got frustrated and gave up if I recall correctly haha.
