WoW 3.0

Incoherence · 11-14-2008, 09:23 PM

Ever since the new 3.0 patch, I've been experiencing freezes every once in a while. After the freezes, the game's textures would get completely messed up. This eventually became my entire screen being covered with random textures. I figured it may have been my CPU or my GPU overheating, so I cleaned the inside of my computer with some compressed air. However, a new problem has appeared. I've tried all of the solutions listed here, except for updating DirectX, which I wasn't able to download from their servers and none of them seem to have helped the problem. Anyone know what's going on? Screenshot and system specs below.

Are you using patch 3.0.3 and with or without WotLK expasion?

Also have you checked out blizzards support forums and does this happen with any other games?

Cheers,

Jay

It's happened with and without the expansion. Blizzard doesn't seem to have a solution at the moment, GM's advice was to reset my UI, which didn't seem to help. I would test it with other games, but WoW is the only game on my computer right now, don't really have access to others. It seems to occur sporadically, so I'm not sure how I could test it. Thanks for the assistance.

Cheers

I've already installed the latest drivers, even trying a driver cleaner before reinstalling. I haven't been able to find any hotfixes, and lowering the settings on WoW didn't seem to help the problem at all.
