Bug/Crash Veiled Ossuary and chain quest

I went crazy to figure out what the problem was with this crash! Every time I approached the area or tried to do the quest, the game would go off.
I solved with the second solution, I write you anyway all the solutions: iCrash are related to corrupt files.

Force a World of Warcraft index reset:

  • Close World of Warcraft
  • Close the Battle.net app
  • Access the folder where you installed World of Warcraft (default is under C: Program Files (x86))
  • Access the Data folder
  • Delete the indices folder
  • Access the data folder
  • Delete all files in IDX format
  • Launch the Battle.net app
  • In the World of Warcraft section click on the cog next to Play/Update and select “Scan and reopen”

At the end of the analysis, take a test.

If you encounter a crash again, force a reset of the addons and interface as well. Also don’t reinstall any addons at the beginning (which means you also need to make sure you close any addon management program if you use one):

  • Close World of Warcraft
  • Close the Battle.net app
  • Access the folder where you installed World of Warcraft again
  • This time access folder
  • Delete the Cache folder
  • Rename WTF and Interface folders (contain your settings and addons, rename them and use them as backups)
  • Launch the Battle.net app and run a new “Scan and repair”

Once again do a test in game, but as I said before make sure not to reinstall any addon.

At the end of the test, if you continue to have crash problems, contact support and leave the character near the area where you crash (they will do tests in the game).

If you are finally able to play without problems, reinstall the various addons (you can recover everything from the Interface and WTF folders that you have renamed previously).
Just keep in mind that if the crash comes back then you will have to completely delete these folders and reset everything from scratch (especially make sure the installed addons are compatible with version 10.2 of Wow).

You are a hero Calcinkulo. Thanks for writing about the fix. I am yet to try it. I got panicked, thought my GPU got deteriorated and randomly failed in-game.

But this issue should be fixed, I am also encountering the exact same crashes on MacOS

Got the same issue now as well, whenever I step into the region, the game crashes. Tried it multiple times with the above mentioned options, but nothing helps. Had to get though some crashes to actually move my character out of the region.

Im playing on a MacBook Pro 16 inch with an M1 Pro.

Me too, it’s pretty annoying. Same issue, I’m on a M1 Max, nothing seems to work (disabling all addons, rebuilding indexes, reinstalling the game…). No choice but skipping the Veiled Ossuary quest chain.

Still happening. I’m in a M2 Macbook Pro 14". I was able to complete the quest line, but had constant crashes.

Not sure how, but I was able to complete the questline yesterday without any crashes. Seems like I got lucky, or something from the hotfixes in the recent days help. Anyways I recommend everyone to try from time to time if it is working, good luck :slight_smile:
