HELP!: World of Warcraft Error 134 on a Radeon X800
May 14th, 2008 . by FudouriSo, I have noticed that the posts that are really useful, both when I do my own searches and when others have searched my site are the ones which expound on something that is hard to find on the net. I have looked up Google Ad tags, others have looked up the Chinese Farmers screenname on my site.
Now, instead of researching my problem, solving it, then forgetting all about it, I am going to post a quick blog on it. In hopes to help others in similar situations, I thought I’d make quick blog posts about my exact problem so that Google Search will pick it up, and next time someone runs into the same problem, they can read the post, try it and move on.
With the most recent patch (2.4.2) to World of Warcraft, my 132 errors (from 2.4.1) that happened anytime I was on a griffon became 134 errors anytime I moved.
Finally being fed up, I looked all around and there seems to be plenty of people who ran into this problem, with no real solution in sight.
So, for those who are like me and have a relatively old graphics card, the trick with the ATI Radeon (at least mine) was to go back to an OLD driver. I went back to 7.12 instead of using the 8.x series of drivers that they are currently at. So far, this has fixed my problem, and if in future it doesn’t, I will update.
UPDATE 06/15/2008 11:26am EST : It looks like the 7.12 still causes 134 crashes. I am going to try yet earlier version of drivers later today.
UPDATE 06/22/2008 4:05pm EST : Been using the Omega drivers version .252 which if I remember correctly is based on Catalyst 6.14. These stopped all crashing. Looks like X800 is too old to use newer drivers.
