I have tried a myriad of other options and combinations of settings since, including resetting to default settings, which I imagine is why the log is reflecting that, but I will try it again.
Ahh - that could be it. I’m going to test that myself right now - see what my log shows.
Here is my most recent log which I ran with the -windowed command, which unfortunately still resulted in the same crash.

Yes I can see it is Windowed now with Vsync on - try it with Vsync off.
Turned it off, crashed again. I’ve had it on and off at various times through the many times i’ve tried launching WoW Classic tonight, as i was trying to troubleshoot to see if it was specific setting or graphic feature that was causing the issue. I’ve not had a system crash or blue screen since the first one though (might have been two), which is something.
I was playing a bit on classic checking the settings. I don’t see anything there you might try. I would get that ticket open - put a link to this thread in it. Might save some back and forth.
I did open a ticket when you suggested it earlier and gave them a good description of it all, as well as screenshots of the error, and my system info, and even a link to this thread in case they wanted to review what we’d gone over. I was really looking forward to playing tonight, but these things happen. Thanks for trying, I really appreciate it.
I had the exact same problem as you all night sylestria. Tried all fixes here and even reverted my video card driver to an older version suggessted in other nvidia threads i found. Nothing seemed to help my issue either. Please keep this thread updated with the resilts of your ticket or if you find a fix!!
Will do! Let me know if you find a solution too, Zulron. Best of luck!
I’m trying a reinstall of Classic now as i’m turning in for the night, just in case.
Edit: Well, after all that it appears a reinstall has fixed whatever issue I was having, which is definitely a relief it was such an easy fix. This is a new laptop and issues like that are always a worry. Hope that works for you too, Zulron.
Okay sylestria, I will give the reinstall a shot and see if that works.
Thank you Tratt, turning off the discord overlay worked for me, but I’m confused as to why it would cause a problem for classic but not for retail (ie BfA) or any other game I’ve played. Any ideas?
