Hey everyone,
I recently encountered a weird issue after patch 11.1.7 in The War Within, where the game would momentarily freeze (1–2 seconds) whenever I opened tabs like Transmog, Mounts, or Collections in general.
After some testing (and seeing others mention it too on US forums), I found that the issue was completely gone after switching the Graphics API from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11.
So if anyone else is experiencing UI-related stutters or freezes, give this a try:
System > Graphics > Graphics API > DirectX 11
Hopefully Blizzard will address this in a future patch, but for now this workaround seems to help.
Let me know if this helped you too
— Cheers,
