Game randomly freezes during combat after 10.1 patch

Same here with AMD card, was getting it in arena games lasting a few seconds, once every few minutes. Switching to DX11 fixed it.

Same issue. Ryzen 5 2600, AMD RX 6600 non XT, latest AMD Driver. And Switching to DX 11 seems to have fixed it

Same here …

swapping to dx11 crashes my game as well.
Not after, the actually hitting save button when changing to dx11

I’m having combat freezes in the lag sense, where everybody is still in one place, still running while nobody is moving, my MS is around 1k all the sudden, normally wait until it sends me to logging screen.

This is happening when Invoke Niuzao, the Black Ox leaves after being summoned on my Brewmaster. Sounds like it might be happening with other class/specs abilities too.

Fine when changing to DX11 now but holy my fps is low still

Same here, game freezes for like 20 seconds whenever I pop Mirror Image on my mage.

Ryzen 5 3600
AMD RX 6600

I get random freezes not only during combat but other acitivites as well, like clicking on the expedition map from battle for azeroth for island expeditions.
All of it happened since the last patch went live.

Same issue, the biggest freeze happened within Zul’Gurub at the tiki mobs, where loads of aoe happen. If someone from Blizzard wants to test it.

I don’t think its hardware problems.

Btw my rig is AMD.

Same problem, also AMD, also no addon.
I tried to play as healer and no issue I think

Same issue, AMD RX 6650XT, freezes right after Xuen despawns.

Blizz pls fix

Same Issue, AMD Ryzen 5 paired with AMD RX 6700XT, game freezes with graphical glitch just as the mob Diganthor does ‘tunneling’. Then my system crashes forcing a power button restart, and then when I start up my graphics card is disabled :frowning:

Switching to DX11 (from DX12) seems to have fixed the issue.

Can confirm this with Xuen, DX12 it’s freezing, DX11 it’s not. AMD 6700XT latest driver.

The game becomes unplayable whenever I start using aoe abilities with my bear and hitting a handful of mobs. Performance in the new zone seems much better than on other parts of the continent, but it is suffering from problems not encountered anywhere else.

Same here, also on AMD (6600XT).

I updated my graphics driver at a similar time to the 10.1 release, so I can’t 100% confirm if it’s a driver issue or a 10.1 issue. Has anyone tried rolling back their AMD drivers? Same issue?

Is there a post on the AMD forums or anything?

I’m using driver version 23.4.3 for anyone interested

It’s probably the game. I’m still using 22.5.1. and it has been working flawlessly for the entirety of expansion (newer updates had a number of smaller issues elsewhere so I decided to downgrade).

I confirm mostly everything reported here : AMD, DirectX12 and Xuen ending .

I open a bug report to AMD

same issue here with rx 6650xt. had the same problem with drivers 23.3.2 so i updated to 23.4.2 and the issue still persists, going back to dx 11 fixed the issue but the game doesnt feel smooth anymore
