Funny thing I played the Shadowlands Beta today with Directx11 and everything was working fine no freezes
we have to sit here to 9.0.0 to get a fix ?
I can’t even do m+ thus week because of this terrible issue. Iff SL will be like this and we get no fixed I know I will not be playing
The only thing I can do now is playing on AH.
I gave the lowest settings and still has a black screen in Boralus, so I have to reset the computer. I am afraid to start the game so that it does not damage my computer.
Well, I guess I’ll get this diamond league in Apex Legends after all, at least I don’t have such problems there.
I have the same issue since this Wednesday. Tried everything suggested in this post and it still does not work. Starting up WoW will make the screen blink black and flash through to the desktop, then crash the PC if not turned off. Errors vary from time to time - TDR failure, Video scheduling error, “Wow has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware”. Of all my games, WoW is the only one with this issue. Do we get a refund for the playtime that goes to waste here or what.

Try to use DirectX 11 Legacy. The game became more stable after I switched to this.
Same issue. Getting ridiculous…
Yep, same here. The game freeze a lot after latest patch, and with a disk usage of 100% during freezes.
Good that only freezes, I get black screen and must restart computer.
So do Blizzard ever intend to fix this?
Last time it took them 2 months to fix the exact same problem ;>
And yeah, the information exchange between them ans us was also that low before. They knew for 100% it was their fault and where the glitch lies, but kept on insiting people to reinstal their games, addons, drivers or even systems. So i guess they just don’t give a *** and are bussy on fixing SL beta.

Ok I am on 100% sure that turning on DirectX 11 Legacy settings help. I had no crushes since turning it on. I only get 2s screen freeze sometimes and rarely get disconnected after that.
Same problem. Game freezes for couple of seconds randomly. It doesnt matter what im doing currently. Everything is up to date. Tried dx 12, 11, 11legacy. With and without addons, with lowest settings too. Also the weird thing that on my 6yo laptop which runs the game barely with 30 fps i dont get freezes with same addons too.
GPU = RX 570 4gb
CPU = R5 1600x
I am having the same issue. I can’t play the game if I don’t switch to Directx 11 and still then it causes massive lags, freezes and computer crashes. WoW is the only game that does this, all other games are working perfectly. It is very irritating that Blizzard, despite all the people complaining, keeps blaming our hardware when it is obviously not the problem. Fix your god damn game.

same here - directX legacy does make it better but still like after 5 to 10 minutes it freezes for 3 to 15 seconds. Fix your game - thank you 
And don’t come up this random “please check your settings”-bullsh**
