New WOW client very unstable
Tuesday, February 15th, 2005 - 8:14pm
I've never had any real problems until after the update today - Now this starting to be very aggravating game is crashing on me at least once an hour or more.
Anyone else hate the new client like I do?
You guys getting random disconnects?
When in Iron Forge I just get total crash of the client.
I am currently stuck in IF. I can log on, but as soon as I load my character I am stuck. Cannot move, chat, or access anything. Total meltdown. I can load alts that are not in IF, but my main, who I deperately want to play, is totally unplayable. This really sucks. I haven''t been pissed at Blizzard until now. What can i do?

It is bad.
I was able to resolve my client issues with a reboot of my PC( hadn''t restarted since the upgrade). Working fine again.
Disable ""Hardware cursor"" and ""Triple Buffering"" in WoW video options, try again.
I also had some weird problems last night after the patch. Not crashing, but random freezing where my screen would show no activity for 4-5 seconds even though the game was still running. Died once because of it. Luckily it only happened once or twice when I was in Blackfathom.
Most of my problems stemmed from their lack of internal support for the interface addons. Disable all of your addons and then one-by-one add them again.
I KNOW its a code problem when a friend of mine is running the exact same addons as me and when I disable a certain addon things get fixed, but if he disables a certain combination of addons things get fixed. There is definately something wrong with their code.
Oh well.

Yeah, it''s wierd because my alt can log in and the game runs fine, but when my main logs into IF - with the same setup - the game freezes.
I''ve made an even bigger mess now by logging in once with no interface folder. It allowed me to log in my char in IF, but now, when I replace the interface folder and log in, every interface is set to default and acts like I''ve never used it before. I''ve got so many addons that it''d take all day to figure out just which one is causing the problem. Now I guess I have to just start from scratch, which sucks because I had so many damn addons.
[Edit:] Btw, relogging in to IF with my replaced folder does not allow my IF char to log in. The game still freezes.
Most problems are related to the many different interfaces people use. I chose to delete my interface folder and had 0 crashes last night when other people in my group were trying to get different programs to work and they kept crashing.
Loaded gypsy + flexbar and it is working very smoothly. However, I was not impressed with the lag last night in any area. I even had lag in an instance, which I never do.

You can''t move your interface folder and move it back, you have to reinstall all the latest versions of your addons.

Or you could go to your add-ons page and override the version checking and just cope with a few bugs til it gets patched.

Had my first crash last night in over 6 weeks. That is what I get for trying any interface other than cosmos.

Flux, you know I''ve been running gypsy for months, and I loaded flexbar about a week ago. I haven''t had any problems with them, who knows.
Wow, first time I''ve ever been called a skimmer but yes, somehow I missed the post just three entries above.
