    Freezing at loading screen, *Solution!!*

    So just like many of you I've had this problem and it would happen to me about 20 times a day depending on how much I hearth/change zones.

    One "solution" blizz recommends is deleting the cache, WTF, and interface folders then restart your comp and relog. Only bad thing is you lose all your key binds and all your personal settings get set to default. Naturally, I didn't not want to do this and waited for more info on the problem.

    While scanning the official wow forums I came across another fix by flushing your DNS. A very easy thing to do that doesn't reset any of your settings and best of all IT WORKED!... So far *knocks on wood*.

    If you're like me you avoid the official wow site as much as possible because it's just impossible to avoid the same threads popping up and every support thread is filled with "this is happenin to me too" comments without any real good solutions. Plus the long loadig times from so many people being on at once. So I have copied the steps for you!

    - Go to Start then Run and type the word "cmd" (without quotation marks) in the Run box. A DOS window should open on screen.
    - Type: "ipconfig /release" (without quotation marks) in the DOS window.
    - Wait a few seconds for a reply that the IP address has been released.
    - Type: "ipconfig /renew" (without quotation marks) in the DOS window.
    - Wait a few seconds for a reply that the IP address has been re-established.
    - Type: "ipconfig /flushdns" (without quotation marks) in the DOS window.
    - Close the DOS window and attempt to make a connection.

    Try that, it worked for me and I really hope it can work for you guys too!

    I dont understand how a different IP address would stop a loading screen error, unless you were IP banned which retail WoW doesnt do.

    I have a feeling this problem is going to persist and its a problem with your client or an addon

    I guess it happens because of an outdated or an error in your addon files.
    because when i play wow whitout addons it works fine but when i enable addons it get slower and sometime it get stuck like you said in this thread
    and ye like 7itanium said how can ip change resolve this problem?

    Yeah this is actually completely true. Its the outdated lua in your addons or something which isnt allowing your game to comepletely load.
    So my suggestion is just delete your previous versions before updating them.

    edit: this is why Blizz suggests you to delete your interface because thats where your addons are..

    Most of the time (*not always*) but most of the time Blizzard know what they are talking about. Also if the stuck loading screen really is caused by corrupted files in your wtf/cache/interface folders then flushing your DNS will have absolutely NO effect. You need to look at common sense here.

    It's like... you have a boat and the problem is that there is a hole in your boat.
    Your boat manufacturer tells you that you need to patch the hole in your boat.
    You are too lazy to do it, so your solution is to get a more powerful motor? It just doesn't make sense and you aren't 100% what you are talking about.


    Slow/stuck loading screens can also be causes by not enough RAM available or your computer has a very high CPU usage (aka your pc is crap). If you have unstable internet and your internet trips (as in switches on and then off again) or cuts out completely for a little while then you will also get stuck at the loading screen for a long time.

    I had the same problem as you, looked at the threads in tech support on wow forum, one person suggested flush dns, I tried it worked first shot, no problem since. Tonnes of people posted after that also stating it worked.

    There were a few however that said it didn't work, but then they tried renewing their IP and a few other commands before flushing their dns and it worked. So yes this is a viable solution

    the addon causing this problem is probably gearscore, from what I read, the version that was supported on 3.3.2 was causing this problem
    just update it (or remove it completely and stop being an gs whore) and it will be fixed

    my brother had the same problem and never happened again when he removed the addon

    I have all my addons up to date but im still getting frozen on the login screen.

    But if I only enable Addon Control Panel and then enable other addons I have in-game then do /reload it doesnt freeze. But usually then when i go to some random HC or something similar.. BAM!

    This doesn't work. At least not for me.
    Neither does repair.exe - loading without addons or anything else suggested on the net.

    12 hours later; still no problem _reinsert the picture_


    the sarcasm aside; no joke it did.
