MY CLIENT IS CRASHING problem solving

[willardnigma]

the default setting for windows 10 and windows 11 run wow just fine. You don't have to go into or change anything with compatibility mode.
(windows 11 users have reported some networking issues requiring windows 7 compatibility mode activated but this is only the case when using 3rd party apps for network management.

It'll be better to find the root cause of the issue instead of trying random things to see if one sticks, as doing it that way could actually mask the problem or make things worse.

Make sure you have direct X 9 installed
Yes I am aware that Modern Windows has the latter version and should play games but it's using a compatibility layer which could cause problems for some systems. Just download the native DX9 runtime and use it to prevent that issue.

I would re download the client. Choose the OLD, NO WoD SKINS option as it's better on resources and much less likely to have issues

Enable LAA (this is only to be done IF using windows 7, 8, 10, or 11 64 BIT ONLY and I recommend having 8gb of ram or more if using this. DO NOT USE THIS IF USING DXVK as it causes problems. NOTE ANYONE using one of the new INTEL dedicated GPU's should avoid LAA as well unless you're familiar with tinkering.

Next step, log in and use this command in game



"/console timingmethod 1"
Turn on vsync (for testing purposes the next part)
Restart your game.

If all is well then proceed below to the addons section. If you notice that the vsync value seems odds compared to your monmitor refresh rate, change the 1 to a 2 and restart your game. If neither work change back to a 0 and Restart.

After this step you can turn Vsync back off.

Try it WITHOUT ADDONS for a bit to see if it's stable then add your addons ONE AT A TIME until you get your UI setup. Redownload your addons and do a fresh install of them. DO NOT COPY OVER YOUR WTF FOLDER. set up your addons and UI from scratch and then make a backup after everything is confirmed working.
If you start having problems during this step then it's an addon causing the issues.



If these fixes don't work then you may want to consider updating drivers, fresh install of windows, or you may have hardware issue.
