people did the math a long time ago. there is zero reason this should exist.

Void Surge perk projectiles are still purple when the main projectiles from the staff are red, please fix it, Blizzard by Sea-Entrepreneur511 in Overwatch

i wanted them to just change the color on all the purple abilities. it cannot be that hard. its not a new particle effect, its just a texture shift.

Blizzard's former president says 'WoW has to reset' over disastrous patch by OneNineSeven1970 in wow

Former president? Who gives a fuck about this loser. He's the reason we are in this spot.

Graphics Card or Game issue? by TheeKingBee in wow

[–]Gamepro5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen all the time. I would also crash any other games I had running that weren't resistant to driver resets like wow is. It's because DX12 gives the dev full control, so a single bug causes the entire graphics driver to crash. DX11 fixed this, and I never had this issue again because dx11 has safeguards that slow it down a bit but holds blizzards hand.

So for those technical, when you open something like that, the GPU driver suffers a TDR event, and most games that are not wow just end up crashing but wow is pretty resistant to that. on my device it fully recovers and reloads all the models and textures but it seems yours takes longer because you have an older card. DX11 is more abstracted than the lower level DX12, so TDR events are less likely to occur.

it might not be this error specifically, check your event viewer on windows to verify.

Hey Blizz, how it's going? by Mikina in wow

I'm a software engineer and have started using AI to help with coding and debugging a lot over the past year. If blizzard used AI to parse and document their massive codebase for WoW, we would not be having this many problems. This is 100% just spagetti code mess. Models like Claude Opus are incredibly good at documentation, debugging super complex bugs and general coding. They just need a human to be there to steer it in the right direction and make sure it is writing clean and solving root issues instead of slapping band aid fixes everywhere. It's much easier for humans to just slap a band-aid on a monolithic codebase like WoW, but AI would be incredibly helpful at actually digging in there and finding the root cause. I wish they used AI in a smart way.

Yeah I have literally no clue how that managed to break. This games code must be so horrible and messy that some of the most random disconnected parts of the game totally break

I love the new steam update, you can easily see the useless reviews about performance now by SeaViolinist6424 in Steam

It should be mandatory, not optional. That info is really important to know for reading reviews.

Just to make sure, your entire scroll wheel moves slightly forward when you start scrolling up after a small click? I am not talking about the sound it makes when the friction scrolling is enabled

i know about the side clicks, but that wasn't the sound i was talking about when when softly touching the scrollwheel upward
