Ever since the 3.1.2 patch, WoW has been locking up, and locking up like it did in the past, before I got my new PSU. Does this mean the 3.1.2 patch resurrected my lock up issue?
The night of the 3.1.2 patch, I was in Desolace on my Tauren Hunter, watching the sunset from “my house” in Shadowprey Village. Basically, the hut above the Inn. I noticed how… ugh, bloomy it was. I can’t stand Bloom/HDR. Makes things so bright you need sunglasses.
Anyway, as I was looking at the sun, suddenly my game froze, along with my computer. My bottom jaw fell to the floor when I saw that.
I started to think “No….. NO… NOOOO!!!! NOT AGAIN!!! .. Wait. Maybe it was a glitch. A fluke. YEAH! It was just a fluke! Just a fluke!”
So I went back in, and I was talking to angry. I left to go get my snack, came back and saw my computer had rebooted itself. I nearly dropped my glass of milk. It happened AGAIN!!
I was thinking after what angry said; “It’s the sun”, that it might be. Maybe it was too intense for my video card to handle, and it won’t happen again.
The day after that, after it didn’t lock up, and I was Level 38, I decided to do SM for the first time on my char. We did Cath twice in a row, just for XP.
The 2nd time after we defeated the final bosses, I was on my way out…and WHAM! I wanted to scream right then and there, but I thought “Ok. I’m going to reinstall WoW and see what happens.”, so I told them that I was pooped and was going to leave, and headed back to the Undercity.
Then I logged out and proceeded to reinstall. First I tried running the Repair utility, and it found nothing wrong with the installation.
So I spent a few hours, with an aching tooth that was making it hard for me to think.
Angry got mad when I didn’t wanna see some video about silver, due to me only caring about fixing an issue that doesn’t want to stay fixed.
After the install, I got back in… 5 minutes later, WHAM! All of that work for nothing. But at least I know it’s not my WoW installation that’s causing it.
Anyway, there’s other news to pass along. I don’t know what’s going on, but twice since I’ve been questing in STV(Stranglethorn Vale), I’ve been visited by lowbies. First, a Level 11, and 2nd, recently, a Level 21. STV is a 30-45 zone… how in the hell did they survive long enough to get to me?
The Level 11 Undead wanted to help me and this guy I was grouped with to kill these trolls. When he showed up, they nearly fucking ganked us! He couldn’t take the hint of what he was doing was wrong, and ran away, crying.
The 2nd one, just recently as I’m typing this, I’m now Level 39, and I was heading toward this troll camp to kill these guys for my quests.
I have some trouble with aggro with a 3rd guy, a caster, wanting to join the fight. So I Feign Death and that makes him go away. No sooner than two seconds after that, this Level 21 Tauren Hunter pops up next to me, and helps me with my kill and says “hi”, and I say “Hi, fellow Hunter”, and then he begins following me for no reason.
Trying to ignore him, I continue questing. Then I hear something behind me and turn around as I’m attacking this mob and see the Level 21 getting ganked. Somehow he either hearths out or escapes, because I never saw a body.
So, I don’t know what’s going on. First an annoying kid named “Paul” from tusongold.com that wouldn’t leave me alone, and now this.
