There is a known GPU driver issue that can cause very slow first time game launches

hey so ive been having really long loading times since the last patch, i thought maybe it was just out of date addons but then i got this error message “There is a known GPU driver issue that can cause very slow first time game launches while shaders are built for the first time. This process can take several minutes”

ive tried rolling back to an older driver but it is still taking so long to load into WoW, and it got so bad today that my fps basically stalled and i couldnt play! I dont know what to do, has anyone else had this issue? what work around do you have

Is it an AMD card?

My computer stats are:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor
16gig RAM
Nvidia GeFroce RTX 4070 graphics
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. B550M GAMING Motherboard
Fixed hard disk media WD_BLACK SN750 2TB

Does that help? thankyou

when i joined discord voice, it felt like it got way worse in game, so maybe its something with discord as well

but even when im not in discord voice, the loading screens are really bad - could turning off the hardware acceleration in discord help? i might try that

Turn it off in Chrome, Bnet, and Discord.
