Memory Leak since 10.2.5 (new issue since today 17 Jan)

Hi all,

Since the update today, I get a strong and immediate memory leak. It creeps up by about 0.2gb every second until my Mac crashes.

I’m on an M1 Mac, Ventura 13.3 with 8GB ram.

As soon as I log in the force quit applications window opens and shows WoW at ~4GB ram and increases by 0.2 per second until my computer crashes around the 6GB mark.

I have all addons disabled. Nothing new installed or changed on my mac.

Thanks

Having regular memory leak crashes on PC too, along with other weird issues (game minimizing for 5 seconds randomly).
Game worked perfectly fine yesterday

Clicking play on battlenet blue-screened my PC and after restarting completely reset my battlenet app.

I had to log in again and locate all my games when they are still installed, but it can’t find the correct version of WoW. Now I can’t log in at all.

yeah im getting crashes and the boxes that show up are saying not enough memory. i got plenty and shouldnt be a problem. closed everything down in the background just for wow to work including overwolf for mods. even having that in the background causes wow to crash

Exception: ACCESS:VIOLATION - The instruction at “0x00007ff7688axdc4” - Referenced memory at “0x0000000000000098”

The memory could nit be “read”
ProcessID:14240
ThreadID: 5760

Think many of us have the same problem

Just had it again when I completed the big dig event.

Same here, and others on Discord seem to experience the same as well.

Same here, PC- had a couple of freezes today due to this memory leak issue. I’ve heard a bunch of people have had similar issue after today’s patch.

There is no quality control at Blizzard we are the beta testers, if the game becomes unplayable for over a year this is not an issue for blizzard cos you already payed, really a shame wish Microsoft would clean up already all the damage previous CEO did

I have the same issue, but WoW responded on the US forums that its an issue beyond WoW. I’ve checked Weakauras, and for some reason all the aura’s are loaded permanently, they are not triggered anymore since new patch. For example, Abberus is loaded while im in Amirdrassil. Not sure if that could be the cause, but I tried to delete some old aura’s hoping performance increases again…

Had the same problem since 10.2.5 release. Game crashed every few minutes. Fixed it by changing DirectX in game settings from DX12 to DX11.

Hello, how do you switch DX12 to DX11 in game please ?

In game - press the question mark icon (bottom right of screen). Click ‘Settings’ then ‘Graphics’ or ‘Advanced Graphics’. Its in there

Getting freezes , game not responding, blue screens with Memory Leak codes and reasons, since the latest patch.
I cannot understand how 32gb ram can have memory leak to be honest but this is for sure a new low point.
Please address this issue :confused:
