The biggest bug for me so far has been that damned pumpkin in the Horseman instance. Just mousing over it causes me to lock up and sometimes disconnect. Talk about yer Halloween Trick.
That's been fixed apparently in the recent point patch. Yeah, they said so. Alas, trying to grab Mage Food in a BG will still lock you up. It still looks like the Cog problem to me. |

Yikes. I tested it with the pumpkin, however, and didn't crash. Luckily I didn't try to get any mage food.
Getting into a BG at all was a bit problematic for me. It'd take requeueing around 10 times or more for a single one to actually let me in the BG. I was woried that I wouldn't get GNERD rage on two of my characters.

What an odd coincidence. I cooked and ate spelt for breakfast yesterday for the first time (and hadn't read this thread prior). Either I cooked it incorrectly or it wasn't very good - I prefer oats or wheat to spelt.
It's not very good. That's why people eat other grains in modern times. |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

It's the landing when on a gryphon that gets you a disconnect. You can alt-tab for the majority of the flight, but you'd better be back by the time you land or it's LD-land.
Nope. I've had it happen while riding on my flying mount towards shoalzar basin from the tournament (long boring trip), and the one that happened when typing above.. I was standing in the argent tent. Not doing anything. Main thing is that if its happening to a lot of us it'll be noticed and (probably) get fixed. Rather than just "me". The cog problem happened to me at the horseman, and also in Trial of the Champions, when I was trying to get a lance. |

Windowed mode used to be very laggy for me. Since 4.0.1, it's more-or-less the same as fullscreen...except it doesn't crash on an alt-tab. It's definitely worth a try.

FWIW my crash was the exact thing Merusk described, alt-tabbed on a griffon route.

I've had random CTL here and there, but the flying route thing reproduces the bug pretty consistently for me. I'd say 95% repro rate. |

I've had it on griffon routes as well, just not exclusively so.

On an alt, I got the bug where you can't harvest resources from a node. Very frustrating.

I haven't noticed much difference since I got a new computer a couple of years ago. I've been running in a window since I've had a computer that could support it with good performance. I have had a few crashes since 4.0.1. I suspect they were video-card-related, as most went away after I downloaded a new driver - oh and updated mods too. I suspect part of my problem was with mods. That cog crash - I haven't seen it since before last maintenance, maybe one before? |

Run in borderless windowed mode in every game that offers it. The gripes about performance problems only reference 8+ year old OSes. You should be running win7 64 and have 6+ gigs of ram at this point in time. There aren't any real excuses. RAM/Win7 will be cheaper than a mid-range video card upgrade.

I found 4.01 significantly increased performance for me in borderless windowed mode. I'm back to running everything maxxed out even though there's more to max out. And I am solid 60 everywhere but Dalaran and I'm 30ish there depending on time of day and location. (The little horde district is single digits because A52 is virtually all horde.)

Win 7 with 8 gigs here. |

Wait, is there an actual benefit to running in borderless windowed mode aside from being able to alt tab? |

Sometimes it means they crash more gracefully when they crash.

They seem to have tweaked or hotfixed it. It's not happening nearly as much now. So I can alt-tab again. I'm even doing it right now!  |

Hey, there's a bug in this game's software, quick, upgrade all 9 million machines !!! zomg. Idiocy. And Elitism. I smell a position at Fox News. |

There's a couple. It means you can tab to other apps much faster and seamlessly than fullscreen mode but you still get to play in a full screen, but the big one for me is that if you run with 2 monitors then you can just move your mouse over to the 2nd monitor and interact with any app you have running over there. We use skype as our voice comms in my tiny guild and it means I can be joined into a convo or add people into an existing one without getting tabbed out of tanking/healing a dungeon, etc. For me it's the killer reason for 2 monitors, well, that and Photoshop. |

Only have a single monitor? You should be running 2 or even 3 monitors at this point in time. There aren't any real excuses. Getting another will be cheaper than a mid-range video card upgrade.

You're only using one desk? You should have 5 or even 6 at this point.  |

Holy shit, prices change?! Get the EDU Win7 deal or bug a friend of yours that works at MS to buy you a copy from the company store. 8GB of ram was the price I spoke of above back when Core2Duo was the CPU to buy. Which is still what I have - an E6600 at 3.2 ghz. |
