A big thank you to LethalFactorLK and all the GM’s and players (sorry I did not record your names!) who patiently took the time to answer my questions for this guide.


The quest NPC is not there!

Problem:
Sometimes an NPC simply does not spawn on your layer.

Solutions:
First, make sure the quest is actually working for other players. To do this type .info and then shift-click on your quest. The system will tell you how many players of your faction (if any) completed the quest.
If other people have completed it, then go down the list of possible solutions (or ignore the quest completely):
    (1) For a few quests (such as the Druid Legendary Item quest), simply logging out and back in will make the NPC appear.
    (2) For some quests (such as for multiple class introduction quests for Broken Isles), you need to go to a trigger area that you might have gone around, skipped via teleport, or went through too fast before the trigger script activated. Just run around a bunch (leave the zone, if necessary) and you should find it (if this is the cause of the bug).
    (3) For most quests, so you have to cancel the quest and re-acquire it.
    If you are forced to cancel a quest with multiple objectives, try doing the objectives in a different order. There are a number of quests (such as the later Alchemy, Herbalism, Enchanting, and likely other profession quests) that bug 100% of the time if done in the “wrong” order.
Fix Status:
The vast majority of these bugs are either already confirmed or will be rejected immediately upon posting them. The problem is that the WoW-Freakz Staff sees that many players have already completed the quests, so they think it is solely a player problem. If you want to successfully report one of the “wrong order” quests so it is fixed, you must provide significant details and documentation.


I’m lagging too much!

Problem:
You are lagging on WoW-Freaks, perhaps even if you do not lag on Retail WoW. (Interestingly, it is also possible to lag on Retail WoW and not WoW-Freakz.)

Solutions:
Lag may come from a variety of sources, including your hardware, your drivers, your operating system and other software, your distance from the WoW-Freakz servers, the current load on the servers, and how well the Staff has programmed the software for your specific setup.

Drivers
Make sure you have the most up-to-date drivers.
Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
AMD: support.amd.com/en-us/download

Long Loading Screens
If your loading times are too long and you do not mind temporary FPS drops after zoning in, then enter “/console worldPreloadNonCritical 0” followed by “/reload”

Addons
Download this add-on to see which add-ons may be causing issues.

DX Version
If your graphics card (you are using a graphics card, right?) supports different versions of DirectX, consider switching between them to see which version works best for you. Older versions work better for some people, while newer versions work better for others.
To change your version, open System (Escape key), click Advanced, then click the drop-down menu next to Graphics API.


Graphics Settings
You were probably waiting to see how long it would take me to get to this one. -
Set the Graphics settings to the lowest setting. Do do this, open System (Escape key), click Graphics, the move the Graphics Quality slider down to 1.
If this helps, then move individual opens up one at a time to see which ones cause problems. Anti-Aliasing and Vertical Sync tends to be problems for people, so keeping them at “None” and “Disabled” respectively should help.

Laptops
If you're on a laptop then right-click the battery icon, click Power Options, then click High performance.

Caches
If you are still having problems, exit WoW and move the following folders to a backup area:
...\World of Warcraft\Cache
...\World of Warcraft\WTF
...\World of Warcraft\Interface
This will remove some of your settings, but may correct serious issues. If the issues are not resolved, you may restore the folders.

Fix Status:
Mitigating lag is an ongoing process.


I lost an item!

Problem:
You accidentally deleted an item or lost and item due to a rollback or other special case.

Solution:
If you accidentally deleted an Epic or Legendary item, visit: https://www.wow-freakz.com/recover_items.php. Note, however, that this link cannot be used to recover legion/wod loot, since loot bonuses are generated in-game, by a rather complex system.

If you lost an item due to a rollback or other special case, then you may be able to recover the item (with a few exceptions listed at https://forum.wow-freakz.com/view-post-5562011.html). After reading the exceptions, read the information at https://forum.wow-freakz.com/Read-me-IMPORTANT-INFO-t201333.html and then visit the appropriate following link:
Item Recovery (Mists of Pandaria) - https://forum.wow-freakz.com/Item-recovery-from-rollbacks-vote-f697.html
Item Recovery (Legion) - https://forum.wow-freakz.com/Item-recovery-from-rollbacks-vote-f5570.html

Fix Status:
Not applicable. Everything is already in place to help you!


I am stuck!

Problem:
Sometimes your character will get stuck. You have tried your hearthstones, dying (if possible), relogging, and possibly even a GM ticket.

Solution:
Visit this link: https://www.wow-freakz.com/unstuck.php

Fix Status:
Not applicable. The link should solve all your problems.


I am disconnected in Dalaran after a few seconds/minutes!

Problem:
There are many, many reasons for disconnects. Most are from restarts or are complete mysteries. However, if you are always disconnecting in Dalaran after a short while, then we know the reason:
Affected characters are disconnected by the software in order to reduce the loading screen times for all players. Fortunately, there is a way to prevent the disconnects:

Solution:
Upon loading, cast any spell or use any ability, including mounting, to protect yourself from the disconnect. Note that simply moving will not protect you. After that, you should not have these auto-disconnect problems (until you leave and come back to Dalaran).

Related Notes:
The loading screen delay is also the reason why players porting to Dalaran are now deposited in one of multiple locations.

If you still find you have loading screen problems, then visit https://forum.wow-freakz.com/Fix-the-Legion-loading-screen-t497587.html.

Fix Status:
This is a fix - for the long loading screens.


The Mythic+ UI is not visible!

Problem:
Sometimes the Mythic+ UI, which looks something like the picture below, will not show up.

This means that you do not know how much time you have left and - more importantly - how many more of the Enemy forces need to be killed. This can lead to reduced your rewards or even broken keys.

Solution:
Download an addon to replace the broken UI. Examples:
#1: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/mythicplustimer
I use this one. In addition to preventing a broken UI, it also provides additional information.
If you want to use it, make sure you click the older version button and download the one for patch 7.1. The latest 7.3 version will not work on WoW-Freakz’s 7.1.5 patch.
#2: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/gottagofast
An alternative.

Fix Status:
This has proven to be a difficult bug to reliably reproduce. Until the cause is determined (deemed “unlikely” at this point), it will not be fixed.


My Mythic+ dungeon bugged!

Problem:
If you complete a Mythic+ Dungeon with a group, get a new key for the same dungeon, and then start the new dungeon, it will bug. You will have less (or even no) time to complete the dungeon and not enough monsters to kill. The key will depleted.
Note that this bug may not always occur, depending on whether or not you used Dungeon Finder and if you switched out one or more group members.

Solution:
If you intend to do the same Mythic+ dungeon twice in a row, you should disband and reform.
If you already have depleted key from this bug, you must disband, reform, and run the dungeon again within the time limit to fix the key.

Fix Status:
Undetermined.


This auto-complete quest will not complete!

Problem:
Not all quests auto-complete if you acquire the quest with all the items, as opposed to acquiring it and then gathering the items.

Solution:
Destroy one or more of the items (or put them in your bank) and then gather the last of the items. The quest should then auto-complete.

Fix Status:
These are being fixed as soon as they are reported, usually within 24 hours for legion content. Older content bugs take longer to get fixed.


I did not get a Blood of Sargeras from a Gather Felwort quest!

Problem:
When you gather Felwort, you should have a 100% chance of getting a Blood of Sargeras, but you might not get one if someone else tries to gather the plant at the same time.

Solutions:
Wait until you are by yourself. If two people gather a single Felwort at the same time, the quest will complete for both players, but the server will only give the Blood of Sargeras to the first person it registers as clicking it (latency matters here).

Fix Status:
Undetermined.
