They always happen around the sound of flowing water, like waterfalls. It never came to realization until just now. I jumped off the ledge in Gundrak into the water below, landed right under the water stream that fills the bottom, disconnected. I hear the running water at the loading screen for about 30 seconds, soon as I materialize I am immediately dc'd. Tried logging in about 9 times now.
This got me thinking, every other area during WotLK I've had dc issues had running water close by. Anyone else notice this...

Yup. But I always attributed it to the water graphics myself, not the sound. But yeah, I was getting DC'ed when I went near water for the first few weeks after the water upgrade patch. Hasnt happened since. Or at least I havent noticed it.

Turned sound off in options, materialized with the usual second or two long loading screen.
Soooooo, is this a hardware issue? lol

Sounds like it must be (a hardware issue).
I have had issues with my sound getting "stuck" and repeating the same sound endlessly until I restart the game (not just log out/in). I use on-board sound rather than a sound card.
Before that I had other issues with disconnects that would persist until I rebooted the game entirely - eventually I would just keep a second instance of the game running at the login screen so that when I got one of these disconnects, I could just re-log in, boot myself off of the other instance and get back into the game in the usual few seconds as opposed to the 5 minute delay.

I like that, good call on the 2nd instance, thanks.

man i wish i could remember where i first saw this so i could give you a link....long story short though this isn't the first time i've heard of this issue and i think the only resolution the other person ended up finding was turning the sound for it off too. updated drivers and such didn't work.

Thought this was gonna be about the alt-tab disconnects. If I'm flying somewhere, manually or on a flightpath, and I alt-tab out while in full-screen mode, 99% of the time I am disconnected from the game during the flight.
Googled it, known bug, and the only solution was to play the game in full-screen windowed mode. That causes a drop of like 10 fps for me, which I don't like lol, so I don't bother.
But thanks for the warning Arc.

Brought this up with the tech guys in my guild and their first response was: "was it sound?" and the second response immediately after was "Blizzard has had trouble with sound files before".
Thanks for the heads up, we will be paying more attention.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.
