I have been having this issue since Dragonflight, my system just runs out of RAM and the game crashes, does anyone else experience this? It happens after 40 minutes of gameplay or so.
Specs:
Win 10
i3 12100
16GB RAM
AMD RX 6600

I’m only using my browser and discord in the background and they don’t take much RAM
Hello Heavytotem,
There isn’t any known issue on our side, regarding the game memory usage. The following steps might be enough to solve your problem if not done yet :
Ensure testing without any addon or background program.
Do you run the game in dx11 or dx12 ?
I am personally highly suspecious of a memory leak cos i am having system freezes and the game has a deadlock conflict if you analyze proces this does matter, also if heard there is a memory leak atleast with dx11 and dx11 legacy i believe, i am playing in dx12 however and most my freezes have happened when i go thru many loadinfg screens during the day i leveld many characters and went back to stormwind and then to the darkmoon faire for xp buff and loading back to draenor.
As memory leaks can also cause system to freeze, usually when i see pagefile hit about 32 gb i froze and i have 32 gb memory my self.
Yea, there is no way in hell this game is running correctly…
I bought the game a few days back…
Literally on startup, starting area the game crashed 5 or 6 times…
I play much demanding stuff than WoW without any issues…
Wow blasts a message saying not enough memory every 15 minutes…
There is no way it’s a PC issue…
I also have a “memory” problem with only WoW…
Every day i get a few and sometimes allot of freezes that can be multiple seconds long,
and i can see all the textures of the game reloading after the freez.
If i have a good day the game even completely closes on me with the Critical Error 132…
I pretty much tried everything at this point from console commands to switching out hardware and repairing/updating all my software/drivers.
No other game i play has even a similar problem like that.
I was “fine” with it the whole time as it only happend during a M+ or sitting in Valdrakken, but now it started happening during my Mythic raid and not being able to press buttons while the game is frozen during a Raid encounter is just unplayable
Same issue on my wife’s computer. It happens every couple of days, no pattern so far, however it’s only WoW related.
This, literally. I started having 5-10 second freezes (and then a texture reload) after DF launched, but the pre-patch was fine for me. So far I have only seen this happen in DF content. Doesn’t happen in SL etc.
I also was getting graphic glitches but ONLY on my Evoker, that seems to have been fixed now though.
This ONLY happens on WOW for me, there is something seriously wrong and I don’t think blaming addons is the way to go forward with this one. 
some of these glitches if seen in prepatch where fixed in prepatch 2 and dragonflight but with many new issues appearing, and these glitches if seen i have AMD gpu my self if asked friends with Nvidia gpu to check if they saw the same glitch and they did, wow can be quite a mess devs should’t be ashamed to admit there something wrong, not everything is gonna be perfect at launch but silence about all these issues everyone is experiencing is not cool makes me wanna ask for a full refund on both expansion and my 1 year sub.
Shame if that means that 16 of 53 characters gonna be unlevel’d back to level 60 so be it.
I personally expercience a lot of gpu driver crashes reported commonly among AMD gpu users usually with full AMD setup, if had stuttering as well but mostly im fine usually in valdraken as well as minor freezes, the game has big issue with loading assets, probably does something wrong cos its probably causing memory leak issues or issues that can happen during a memory leak.
Just look at what Nvidia users report they have flickering tree’s texture problems stuttering and so on how can they have these issues when Nvidia has like almost 99% market share.
Still getting this issue even with my view distance lowered to three. I’ve found a good way to mitigate the problem where the game uses so much memory it crashes/blue screens is to make sure you log into the game well away from Valdrakken or the event areas in the different regions of the isles. If you see your game starting to consume towards 5,000MB of memory while playing, restart the game as well. We should not be having these issues but these band aid solutions helped me.
