Problems?

Posted by: Gahlok In: General

It seems that the server didn’t like my raid group (or any other) raiding tonight

The server came up a minute or so after that, but seems that instance servers were burnt… heh.

Also sometimes my graphics flick… this has been the worst I’ve seen, so far

I’ve not really been following the problem (seems that a lot of people have been having it?), but basically what Blizzard’s Support says that the problem is not related to the game, but to the computer. The thing here is… how could I go to an Apple Store place and tell them that my computer is having issues that “only” happen with certain application? Usually their procedure is trying it out with different stuff, and after they realize that the problem doesn’t even show up (the flicks happen randomly in WoW, there are days that it doesn’t happen, there are other days that it does), and then the fact that it doesn’t happen with anything else.

/sigh

The flickering issue was a bug in Apple’s graphics card drivers. This has been fixed in a recent update. It was explicitly mentioned in the patch notes by Apple that the update fixes bugs with WoW.

If I’m not wrong that update was a while ago (10.4.9) and it didn’t fix the problem ^^

Oh well, did at least fix the flickering for my iMac. 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system that is.

We had the same problems with instance servers. But it’s actually the first time I see “United States” and “Oceanic” in the list, we have “English” / “French” / “Spanish” / “German”

It is true that there are no French people, Spanish guys or Germans on our realms, maybe tiny communities that have been here from the start but sometimes I wonder, WHERE in the bloody hell does Saudi Arabia fit in all this I mean wtf, we got so many people that aren’t even from Europe as we know it, what happens to them. “Hi there I’m from India” - “FROM WHERE?”
