Weird graphical issue since patch

Ever since the latest patch (5.1 release), my game’s graphics have been “resetting” periodically. Most textures just despawn and slowly load back in when this happens. Happens every hour or so in most places, but every 10 minutes in Shrine/Org. NEVER seen something like this before, and it started happening tuesday

I am having the same thing! Only started since the last patch. Already ran repairs on the game, removed all add-ins and still getting it. Also ran updates on all of my drivers to make sure it was not a system problem.

Running a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 on an intel i7-9700K CPU with windows 11.

Anything similar with your specs?

Add a 3rd person getting this exact same problem.
Nvida 1660ti with a Ryzen 5 2600 on Win10. I’ve updated drivers, tried others, ran repairs, cleared cache. It’s tends to happen only in the main MoP city and just random pauses then low res the grahpics and takes 5+min to slowly reboot everything properly.
Haven’t had it happen in dungeons or the overworld. Just in the MoP shrines.

You can fix this by switching your graphics to DirectX 11 in your graphics settings. I had the exact same problem.

for the sake of what everybody else is listing, i have an nvidia 1080 and a ryzen 5, and have the same problem, will try swapping to DX 11

They did just add HD Textures into the game with the new patch, try disabling them for now while NVIDIA and Blizz fight over who’s responsibility it is to fix like the RTX 5xxx series issue that was finally patched.

I did the Direct X11 and it loads a bit faster after it breaks.
See it the most when I try to load character screen. Either when I look at the transmog, or even opening the character screen.

Darn, sorry that didn’t fix it. I’m running the same graphics card as you on Win 11 with an i9 10850K. I did try unloading all mods and that made no difference, so I don’t think it’s that. I hope you can track it down.

Pretty much same for me, the few times it’s happened outside cities, it was opening character screen, I’ve got a NVIDIA GeForce 1060 with a similar CPU as yours too though. (Intel i7, just not sure on the exact model)

I disabled the High Res models and it seems to be much better.
Hopefully they will let us know once they resolve this issue so we can turn those back on.

4070 super and a 5700x3d, also having similar issues, tabards not loading etc.

Exact same issue. Ryzen 5600X and GTX 1660 super. Just changed to DX11 so we’ll see how that goes I guess.

i was having this issue as well and so far it seems that turning off the HD textures has fixed it
