Hey Delerius, sounds exactly like what I was going through.

The good news is that since I updated my drivers I haven’t had one disconnect.

I forgot that the Windows Update only does critical updates… which never (rarely) include drivers. Likewise I had to manually hunt down my video card driver.

Might be worth a try

Oh, and it only DC’s me from WOW. Any internet browsers in the background still work fine, I don’t get disconnected from vent, I’m just kicked off of WOW. I’ll log back in within a minute and be back right where I was… but with horrible DPS

I d/c’ed 4 times last night over the course of a single raid, 25 TOC.

I was just beginning to think maybe it was some addons when I saw this page… yeah I think Blizzard messed up somewhere.

WTF… I’m sure a hommage to the WTF! we all know and love, but I believe it “officially” stands for warcraft text files.

Might be worth checking your drivers and having read of the forum thread Lethal provided…

Can’t be too catious

I had no problems last night after updating my drivers, but I will be working through that forum to see what else I can tweak

Same happen here…

I scanned my computer for trojan and virus,
removed wtf (who come up this name anyway = =”) folder
and reset all my ui….

Hopefully that’ll save me much more wipe tomorrow….
I am so depressed about this…

Kattastrophe had a bunch of problems after the previous patch. Her video drivers were the culprit. I searched wow forums for the links, but didn’t have any luck (egad the advanced search function there is lousy!)

It turns out that SOME video drivers/chipsets got very upset with that patch. I don’t know if it’s the same issue with this latest patch, but that could be a place to start.

I had my first video glitch last night as I boated into Howling Fjord. All sorts of textures disappeared and then it locked. I had been alt/tav-ing a bunch so I just re-booted. It worked, but it took a LONG time for all the textures to load.

Crossing fingers that I’m not about to start having issues…
