Quick fixes

The problems players report most on the beta, with the steps that work today. Settings are named as the game shows them.

My addon settings reset every time I log in

No official fix

Affects Anyone who uses addons.

The game writes your addon settings to WTF\Account\<account>\SavedVariables when you log out or reload, but does not read them back when you log in. Players have reported it since September 18 (build 69913), and Blizzard has not answered their threads yet.

What to do

  1. Your settings are still on disk. Once your addons are set up, log out and copy the whole WTF folder somewhere safe, so you can put it back once Blizzard fixes this: after a reset, the next save overwrites those files with the defaults.
  2. Do not delete the WTF folder to fix it: players report that it only helps until you next close the game, and you lose your settings.
  3. If you want a tool, WTFix saves a checkpoint of your addon settings and restores it after a reset. It is a third-party addon that also needs a small Windows program, run while the game is closed. Use it at your own risk.

The world map is green in Spanish

Fixed in build 1.60.1.70009

Affects Players with the game in Spanish, or in any language other than English.

Forever’s new map art only ships for English clients, so other languages draw those parts of the map green.

Checked in build 1.60.1.70009: every map tile now has a Spanish file.

What to do

  1. Use the world map on this site: it shows Forever’s new map.
  2. Or install one of the map fix addons: they add the English map art and keep your language.
  3. Or set the game’s text language to English in the Battle.net app. The voice language can stay in Spanish.

Too much fog

Game setting

Affects Everyone. The fog also costs frame rate on older graphics cards.

Forever adds volumetric fog, controlled by the Compute Effects option. Its lowest value thins the fog but does not remove it.

Blizzard, Sep 24: “Removed a setting that could disable fog in an unintended manner.”

What to do

  1. To thin it: Options, System, Graphics, Compute Effects: Disabled.
  2. To remove it completely, type this in the chat. Players report that it also removes the sun rays./console volumeFog 0
  3. To bring it back:/console volumeFog 1

Crashes on AMD graphics cards

Workaround

Affects AMD Radeon cards on DirectX 12. Players report the RX 7000 and RX 9000 series.

The screen flickers or goes black, the driver stops responding and the game closes, often when entering the world or the Deeprun Tram.

What to do

  1. At the character selection screen, before entering the world: Options, System, Graphics, Secondary Lighting: Fair.
  2. If it still crashes: Options, System, Graphics, Advanced, Graphics API: DirectX 11, then restart the game.

“Unable to start up 3D acceleration”

Game setting

Affects Windows PCs on DirectX 12, with AMD, NVIDIA and Intel cards alike.

After the character selection screen the world freezes or is half drawn, then the game closes with that message.

What to do

  1. At the character selection screen: Options, System, Graphics, Advanced, Graphics API: DirectX 11, then restart the game.
  2. If DirectX 11 does not help, check that your graphics card is on the supported list.

My Mac freezes when entering the world

Workaround

Affects Macs with Apple silicon (M1 to M5).

When the loading bar into the world fills up, the whole Mac freezes or restarts.

Blizzard, Sep 24: “Resolved a water display issue and fixed various other display artifacts on Mac.”

Blizzard, Sep 22: “Fixed some display issues and stability issues on Macs.”

What to do

  1. First, update the game in the Battle.net app.
  2. If it still freezes, you can try the setting that stops the AMD crashes, although no one has confirmed it on a Mac yet. At the character selection screen, before Enter World: Options, System, Graphics, Secondary Lighting: Fair.
  3. If it freezes before you reach that screen, reset the game’s options from the Battle.net app: the gear next to the Play button, then the game settings.

Addons that work on Forever

Forever version: the addon’s own page offers a file for Forever. Unofficial: a port by someone else. No Forever version: a Classic Era file will not load in Forever.

Popular addons, and whether their own page has a Forever version. For now none of them keeps its settings between sessions: see the fix.

Checked on each addon’s official page (CurseForge or GitHub) on September 24, 2026. Forever uses the addon rules of the current retail game, so a version made for Classic Era or Anniversary does not work.

Installing addons on Forever

  1. Download the Forever file from the addon’s official page. On CurseForge, pick the Forever flavor: a file for Classic Era or Anniversary will not work.
  2. Unzip it into World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Interface\AddOns. Each addon is a folder that sits right inside AddOns, not a folder inside another folder.
  3. On the character selection screen, open AddOns and check that the addon is ticked. An addon marked Out of date or Wrong game type was made for another version of the game.
  4. Avoid Load out of date AddOns: an old addon may load and then break. Look for its Forever version instead: its folder has a file ending in _Camelot.toc, or a .toc file whose ## Interface: line includes 16001.
