TBC - Game data being downloaded constantly

[Zenoismymain-barthilas]

Hi,

Green circle at the top of the game really often popping up, causes some frame rate lag.

Have tried deleting wow/data/indices

Tried uninstalling the game, playing without addons totally fresh and still have this issue.

Have auto download / update data totally disabled.

Happened since I got a new PC last week.

Help Please

Hey there,

When you got the new PC did you install WoW on an external drive or different drive other than C: ?

On a fresh install of the game the green download circle may show up occasionally but it should not be up constantly. If it’s showing all the time this could mean the game data is corrupt and that there’s a problem with the drive the game is installed on.

Feel free to post a DXDIAG and we can take a look.

DXDIAG

1. Press Windows Key + R.
2. In the Run window type dxdiag and press Enter.
3. In the DirectX window, click Save All Information.
4. Name the file “dxdiag” and save it to your Desktop. Open the new dxdiag file with Notepad.
5. In the posting section hit the </> button for “Preformatted text” then paste (Ctrl+V) the DXDIAG contents. That’ll make the information much more readable.

If you are unable to post this due to the length of the DXDIAG, please feel free to use pastebin.com and share the direct link with us instead. Use the </> button as well in order to share the link.

Awesome, thanks! The only thing I see from the DXDIAG is your Windows 10 version is a few versions behind, but that shouldn’t cause this particular issue. May just want to update Windows 10 anyways.

Try deleting the Cache folder in:
...\World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\
If there’s a problem with the cache it might cause the download icon to show up as well, so deleting that and logging back in will get it to be recreated.

Hi, Tried to delete the cache in classic era folder.
Installed windows 11.
