since 8.3 released, and never before this point, WoW is crashing or freezing for 10-15 seconds every few minutes. Addons disabled, nothing different. I give lowering my graphics settings a go, but even at bare bones graphics settings (normally I can get away with nearly middle of the road, though every patch has made me lower settings a bit more in BFA) but even at the absolute bottom, 1 render distance and the works, I get the exact same issue.
Task Manager indicates my CPU, GPU, and HDD all take turns hitting 100% utilization, and when those start overlapping, bye bye game.
Haven't heard much from other players complaining about the same issue, and this has been my final straw towards "just buy a new computer already, you cheap bastard", but I'm mainly wondering if you think they'll patch this to playable in the intervening time or if I might as well just unsubscribe until then?
