Freezup in WSG

I tried several instances of WSG last night. I had no issues unless I tried to return our flag once killing the opposing team flag carrier. At the point I clicked on the flag, the game immediately froze up each time, and I ended up having to get out of the game in order to begin again, after deserter status was expired. I was able to reproduce this 4 times, and was able to play 3 entire sessions w/o freezup (by not touching the flag).

Any suggestions.

Bty I have a fresh install with all my old files wiped from the computer (usual thought is to delete old files, but there are none to be deleted).

Thank you in advance,

This is a known issue, Soulsbane.

The next time you are in WSG, can you try the following step?
Q u o t e:
This works if you're willing to disable tooltips when you are anywhere a cog icon might show up.

You will need to create two macros, for "turn off tooltips" and "turn on tooltips".

Turn Off Tooltips

/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);


Turn On Tooltips

/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);
