The launch of Pre-Patch 8.0 in World of Warcraft brought some issues. Here are all known bugs so far.
Today, on 18.07.2018, the big Pre-Patch 8.0.1 of World of Warcraft went live, which was supposed to prepare players for the upcoming expansion Battle for Azeroth. However, it didn’t go as smoothly as Blizzard had hoped. In addition to numerous game crashes, login issues on the servers, and error messages, there are also a whole bunch of now known bugs that Blizzard wants to fix.
List of all known bugs from WoW Patch 8.0.1
Blizzard is still working to identify all bugs. So far, the following issues are known with Patch 8.0.1. This is the list of “Known Issues”:
General
- The Gladiator’s proto-dragons do not reveal in the description how to obtain them.
- If you want to summon a player while they are zone-changing, the summon is sometimes canceled.
Effects of the stat squish
- Several bugs present, many spells and creatures from “legacy content” do not scale correctly (and deal too much damage).
Dungeons and Raids
- Legacy Loot: Many creatures no longer drop gold.
- Highmaul: The bosses do not leave the correct amount of gold in mythic mode.
- Dungeon Journal: The Baradin Hold supposedly has a 10-man and 25-man heroic mode, even though this difficulty does not exist.
- Several lua errors with the Dungeon Journal.
Communities, Groups and Guilds
- In communities, players with the Starter Edition are referred to as “veteran test accounts”.
- Guild: Inviting players to the guild who are currently in your group can lead to an error message.
- Opening the character window immediately after equipping a new item can lead to a game crash.
- Looting a boss’s corpse while you are in a group can lead to an error message.
- Communities: Players who have not logged in for years are simply displayed as an empty field in the guild.
- Players can occasionally not whisper across realms when selecting other players in communities.
As a result, communities have been temporarily disabled.
Compatibility
- Several bugs with DirectX12. The game may try to use more memory from the graphics card than it has, leading to crashes.
- On some graphics cards, DirectX12 causes worse performance than DirectX11.
Until things run smoothly in World of Warcraft again, it will take a few more days and hotfixes.
How do you like the patch so far? A clear improvement despite these problems? Or is there still a lot of need for improvement?
