Error help?

Unread post by Gimlion »

I've been trying to log into the Beta all day, and everytime I get this error message:

This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal exception!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Beta\WoW.exe
ProcessID:3188
Exception:0xC000008E (FLT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO) at 0023:1005943A



Press OK to terminate the application.

This error is only occurring when I attempt to get on a character in Beta...

I have my account, and under that, the pull tab is set to WoW2, as WoW1 has no playable realms for me.

This is not happening at all on my non-beta account.

Is there anyone who might know how to fix this, the suggestions online have not helped.

I've heard some of the graphics settings are causing people to crash. While you're on the main loading screen, perhaps go into options and change your graphics (possibly down to Low), and then see if you can get in?

Main loading screen as in Beta loading, or Cata loading?

Beta account since you mentioned it's not occurring on your regular account.

Hmm, that allowed me to get in for a split second longer and walk a few steps, but it still crashed.

I had this same problem. When you load up the launcher there is the options button on the top left, Click Game Preference, then under Graphics API change it to DirectX 9. That should fix the crashing.
