I’m playing with DirectX 12 enabled.
Updated NVIDIA GRD drivers to 531.26 yesterday and ran sfc /scannow in CMD this morning. To my surprise, for once it actually said there were corrupted files and that it repaired them – usually it just says everything’s fine. Been playing for about an hour and a half now without issues but we’ll see how it goes. Yesterday when this happened I had already been playing for several hours.
I browsed the NVIDIA forums yesterday and it seems like there are a lot of complaints about the 531.xx batch of drivers, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is related to that. Could be some kind of incompatibility with Windows 11, DirectX 12, and/or WoW itself.
Funny how computers just become more unstable as they get “better”… I never had to deal with issues like these back in the good old days of Windows XP.
