World of warcraft memory leak
Memory leak getting worse every patch!
Cannir-dalaran1
I can’t play more than 1/2 hour before the game has eaten up all 32 GB of RAM on my machine and crashes with an out of memory error. This leak has been around for over a year and continues to get worse with every patch.
Should we assume you are not looking at it and don’t care about fixing it?

I play all evening running multiple copies of wow at once. I’ve never encountered this. Sounds like you include an addon that’s leaking memory. Blizzard enabled the ability to see more information about your addons in the latest patch. Check it out.

Same, the only leak I’ve encountered in the past was the crafting memory leak, which actually appears to be fixed with 11.1

This is a hardware or software issue on your end. Question for yah. how many sticks of ram do you have and what is the ram exactly?

I include figured out how to easily get the game to apply up all my RAM:
There is a world quest near dornagal that requires you to slay a bunch of nerubians an
Wow.exe Memory Leak?- CPU Pegged 99%
#0 - Oct. 17, 2008, 11:05 a.m.
So we decided to install the patch on our newer gaming laptop which is a little more beefy and see how that went, identical thing. Wow.exe pegged the CPU at 100% while logged in walking around.
Before you even ask..
1. No I undertake not use add-ons.
2. Nothing else has been installed on these computers besides the patch.
3. Yes, pre patch they ran smooth as butter.
Testing the CPU from start to close..
- Launcher.exe - Was: 0% after load.
- Nothing wrong here.
- Wow.exe - Login Screen Was: 30 - 33% solid.
- Background AVI with proto dragon?
-Wow.exe - Logged In Was: 00 - 02%
-Looking at character list for realm.
- Wow.exe - Enter World Was: 93 - 99% solid
-No movement, just standing in Stormwind. Pegged.
My System
- 1. Before login, the process consumes about 170M in wine and 110M in windows
2. On both systems it nearly doubles after login
3. In wine, however, logging out and back on, or reloading the interface increases the memory usage by 5-10M every time
4. There isn't any periodical drecrease on memory usage under wine (it somewhat fluctuates under windows)

I've observed this leak in two computers, both running Arch with amd gpus, one with wine 2.0 and the other 1.9, similar results.The tests under windows and wine ran with the equal wow settiings, namely low graphic settings and using the opengl gxApi
I might have to compile wine with valgrind later, but in the meantime, is there any way to spot where the l
Memory Leak since 10.2.5 (new issue since today 17 Jan)

Hi all,
Since the update today, I get a strong and immediate memory leak. It creeps up by about 0.2gb every second until my Mac crashes.
I’m on an M1 Mac, Ventura 13.3 with 8GB ram.
As soon as I log in the force quit applications window opens and shows WoW at ~4GB ram and increases by 0.2 per second until my computer crashes around the 6GB mark.
I have all addons disabled. Nothing new installed or changed on my mac.
Thanks

Having regular memory leak crashes on PC too, along with other weird issues (game minimizing for 5 seconds randomly).
Game worked perfectly fine yesterday

Clicking play on battlenet blue-screened my PC and after restarting completely reset my battlenet app.
I had to log in again and locate all my games when they are still installed, but it can’t find the correct version of WoW. Now I can’t log in at all.
