Greetings.

I'm here playing WoW Classic Vanilla on Debian Testing. Mostly the game works great. I cleared almost every content in the game without issue.

However, I do notice that, sometimes, the graphic would FLASH during I'm moving. By flash I mean I could notice something unusual occupied large part of the screen, but it would disappear instantly, so I can't tell what is it. It happens like random, moving around the world.

It is noticeable, but too fast fade away to describe what is it. So I can not report it for a long time.

Today, I accidentally stand at a position where I could trigger it statically. Then I record it as this video:

I would need a very specific position paring a very specific view angle to trigger the bug.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is a DXVK bug, because I could trigger it with DirectX 12 (vkd3d-proton backed) either.
It could be an WINE bug or Official bug from Blizzard Entertainment itself.

Anyway, I decided to report it here, to see if anyone could be inspired.

API trace is followed at bottom.

Thanks for your time reading this.

Having played WoW for many years, this looks like an in game map bug and nothing to to with DXVK or wine. These glitches appear in certain parts of the world and are outside the control of anyone but Blizzard.

I think Blizzard won't listen to Linux users. Anyway, thanks. Closing.
