Will MSI Afterburner and wow DX12 ever get fixed?

ever since 8.0 launched i cannot run wow on DX12 with MSI Afterburner running because it just crashes, this is the only DX12 game i have that does this so its the game itself not my system. any new on when it will be fixed its annoying not being able to monitor my hardware realtime

Hey Arianatar,

Do you just have MSI Afterburner active, or do you actively use it to overclock? We would recommend setting your components to factory default speeds to resolve crashes due to overclocking. If you do not actively use the app itself, disabling it might be a good idea or try and update/re-install it to see if that helps out.


Have a few seconds to spare? Let me know how I’m doing!

Afterburner does work for me under DX12 mode and 8.1 patch (but there were some problems with some versions not even turning on or something; I think I used version or two below latest in one case).

running msi afterburner + rivatuner and wow at dx12 and never had any problems, did you try a fresh install?

clean install of windows 10 and wow. still does it. everything is fully updated. this is the exact error https://.imgur.com./a/x2FDovs
