Big News of the Week
Major 4.2 Previews hit, just in time for 4.1 to be yesterday’s news. We’ve got the hot points. We also talk about Scott’s issues with the game since the patch. Kind of a nightmare!
Rumors & Scuttlebut
A look at Teir 12 ladies and gentlemen. Direct X 11 and a few other signs, that 4.1 is the precursor to some graphical upgrades! According to Bit Gamer, “We haven’t tried it ourselves yet, but judging by the comparison screenshots the new graphical effects offered within WoW aren’t spectacular. Spells and characters now cause reflections in lava and water – that’s about it. That said, Cataclysm is still in beta, so hopefully we’ll see some further updates in the future – as well as the quashing of the few graphical bugs that DX 11 mode can currently cause in WoW.” Do we expect WoW to evolve to catch up to newer hardware? Do we care about this at all? Is wow just fine as it is?
Tom’s Hardware dot come did a direct comparison of Dx9 and 11 to see what the differnces are, and they are pretty significant when it comes to framerate. (None of this has much to do with Mac clients, but expect more there as well.)

first heh mad
One of the hosts mentioned they were having severe lag issues in Battlegrounds. I was having a similar problem and after some research discovered it was caused by loading an outdated version of recount. There were some changes made to the combat log that broke pre-4.1 versions of recount that cause this lag problem. Disabling recount or upgrading to the new version fixed this issue for me. Other addons that parse the combat log may have similar problems.
Yeah, that was me with the BG issues. I disabled all my addons and still had lag like crazy. Hopefully it will calm down but for some people it’s been recount as well as scrolling text add ons.

What was that WoW knock-off that Scott mentioned? I think he’s mentioned it before. It wasn’t Battleheart was it?
I believe it was called Order and Chaos online…or Chaos and order..one of those two, a google comes up with it quickly.
Thanks!
day day up.
Can anybody tell me with music piece was used during draconas session?
Some people say he’s got fifteen nipples and an upside-down nose, some say he’s go a penis on the back of his head. All we know is he’s called the Stig.
Many addons have been broken when 4.1 released. My LUI doesn’t work anymore.
