WOW Not Enough Memory | WOW Classic Server Status - Tech Support and Activation Help

Part 1: Fix for “Not Enough Memory” Error

This is a known issue, often caused by a conflict with DirectX 12 or corrupted addon data, rather than your PC actually running out of RAM.

Try these steps in order:

Switch to DirectX 11 (Most Likely Fix)
- On the Character Select screen (or Login screen), go to Menu > System > Graphics
- Find Graphics API and change it from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11
- Restart the game.
Reset Game Files (UI/Addons)
- Close the game completely.
- Go to your World of Warcraft installation folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_).
- Rename the following three folders (e.g., add .old to the end):
  - Cache $\rightarrow$ Cache.old
  - Interface $\rightarrow$ Interface.old
  - WTF $\rightarrow$ WTF.old
- Relaunch the game. (This resets your UI; if it works, one of your addons was the cause).
Scan and Repair
- Open the Battle.net desktop app.
- Click the cogwheel icon next to the Play button.
- Select Scan and Repair.
