Visual crashes and CPU load

idunno what you guy changed today, but logging back in after the recent maintenance 8 hour downtime, my PC is absolutely screaming, and the graphics seem to crash suddenly, forcing a reload of all the games models and textures, particularly when opening the transmog or item collections windows.

game was working fine this morning, and i dont think its addons causing the crash since i barely run any and they were disabled anyways.

Wouldn’t be surprised, these patches have been adding more bugs than fixing these days

Go into your graphics settings, find the ‘Graphics API’ option, and change that to DirectX 11. You probably already had it set to DirectX 11 because DirectX 12 has been causing that issue ever since TWW launched, but Blizz seems to have reverted everyone’s setting to ‘Auto Detect’ with today’s patch.

Check the Render Scale in your Graphics settings too. For some reason, this patch set it to 50% by default for me, so my graphics were all pixelated and lo-fi, but bringing that back up to 100% solved the issue for me.

This worked like a charm! Thanks!!! I shared your response (took a SS of your comments with your name on it for credit) and shared it on some reddit posts, fyi. TY!
