Check for updates with any addons you have. I have a guildmate that was just having that problem this morning. Don't think he found what caused it, but I do know when I had that problem it was due to addons (specifically Comsos's Sky feature).

I deleated all my addons i had and still getting dumped. No error, or anything. Just get sent to loggin screen? its making me go bonkers, every 5 - 10 min

Did you completely delete (or move) your interface folder? What about WTF and WDB? Try moving them out as well. Any chance it's a problem with the new "UI memory usage"? Try setting it to 0 (zero) when you have UIs loaded. Video drivers all up-to-date?

i did remove everything in wow folders reset the ui memory thing also .. this only started happening yesterday.. thats whats driving me crazy.. Iget to play for 5 10 min before getting booted..

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Yeah, it's not making any sense.

hrrrm ... check something else .... check to make sure that your computer's fan(s) is working properly, is clean, etc. See if your machine is overheating ...

The game makes the system work hard, so it may be going "too hot too hot, shut down!" or something?

ok i just looked at that and there working.. im redownloading wow maybe somethings wrong there some where?? but im not getting any errors or anything..

Is going to take a few hours so ill post back later with any updates.. =(

Well, I'm completely out of ideas ... try posting on the Blizz tech help forums? or see if there's something already there ...

Sorry I couldn't help more.

sometimes ethernet drivers or you internet connection in general can lag out creating a temporary "disconnected" state. Mine does this every now and again(did it real bad for a few days there) and I'd get disconnected.

tralkar · 07-03-05, 10:31 PM

ok i got what it could be, its one of my addons or the save file.. ill realy hate to get rid of my save file but if thats it, its gone.. Ill let you know what happends when i take this file out or redo the file from an old one.. Im still holding my breath..........

You sure you aren't getting an error message? Something about the UI using more than 32 mg of memory? Try one last thing before you start tossing stuff out. Get to your character select screen, in the bottom left corner hit the AddOns button, in the top right corner change the memory allocation to 0 (zero).

Beladona · 07-04-05, 12:11 AM

it shouldn't boot him over mod memory usage. Not to mention that it is highly unlikely he is coming anywhere close to the 32mb limit.

Possible Causes:

- An installed mod is causing an exception that boots you. The fact that you can get in and play for 5-10 minutes suggests this COULD be possible since some addon features do not fire until vertain events occurr. Removing the Interface, WTF, and WDB folders can fix this but make sure you back them up as you WILL lose customizations. Mods that allow you to click on item links commonly cause this issue since a patch or two ago, as you have to have that item in your local item cache or you will get disconnected from the game...

- Video Card overheat. Not much you can do to test this without having a temp reading on the card. Modern Nvidia cards have them (specifically highend 5xxx cards, and most if not all 6xxx/7xxx cards.) Make sure you have adequate ventilation to your system. Personally I live in Florida, and my office is on the hottest end of the house, to the point where outdoor temperature sometimes becomes enough to interfere with adequate AC cooling in that room. I have combatted this with a system that has something like 10 fans, 4 of which are dedicated around the video card...

- You may need to run a defrag on the drive that wow resides on. This game does trash your HD quite a bit, and drive fragmentation is common. See if this helps at all...

- Make sure ALL drivers are as up to date as you can get them, expecially video, sound, and network. Avoid Beta and use WHQL when possible...
