Patch 11.1.5 for World of Warcraft: The War Within brought some awesome new content—Nightfall Scenario, Hero Talent updates, XP boosts, and more. But let’s be real: no patch arrives totally smooth, and this one’s had its fair share of hiccups. Thankfully, the WoW community has stepped up with tips, workarounds, and solid feedback to get us all through the messier bits.
In this post, we’ll go over the most talked-about bugs in 11.1.5, what Blizzard is doing about them, and what players like you can do in the meantime.
1. Nightfall Scenario Bug – Boss Not Spawning or Stuck Progress
❗ The Issue
Many players are reporting that the Nightfall Scenario just… doesn’t finish. Either the boss doesn’t spawn, or objectives don’t properly track, especially after a wipe or party member disconnect.
🔧 Workarounds
-
Shard hop: Use Group Finder to join another party or layer.
-
Leave/re-enter trick: Mount up, fly far away, then return.
-
Full UI reset: Sometimes fixes interaction bugs.

2. Great Vault Bug – Duplicate Rewards
❗ The Issue
Some players opening the Great Vault post-patch received duplicate items, even when other choices were available.
✅ The Fix
As of April 23, 2025, this was hotfixed by Blizzard. If you were affected, check your vault again after the weekly reset.
🧠 Tip
Always double-check your loot spec before raiding or mythics—it can still affect your vault outcomes.
3. FPS Drops, UI Errors, and Add-On Breaks
❗ The Issues
-
Sudden frame rate dips in Delves and capital cities
-
Cooldown Manager not showing for some specs
-
WeakAuras and Plater behaving weirdly
🔧 Fixes & Tips
-
Update add-ons: Check CurseForge for new versions post-11.1.5
-
Reset UI: Again, this fixes a lot more than you’d think
-
Turn off graphics-intensive settings temporarily: Like dynamic shadows or particle density

4. "A Radiant Call" Not Showing – Flame’s Radiance Locked
❗ The Issue
Some players can’t access the Flame’s Radiance content, even after completing the Nightfall Scenario.
🔧 Solutions
-
Make sure your character is level 80
-
Complete all prerequisite quests in Dornogal
-
If still bugged: reset your UI or abandon and retake the breadcrumb quests

5. Hunter Pet Frustration – New Beasts Not Tameable
❗ The Issue
Beast Mastery Hunters were hoping for new tameable pets in Patch 11.1.5, especially from the Nightfall Scenario and Flame’s Radiance zones. Sadly, many of the cool-looking mobs are flagged as untameable (for now).

Some speculate these will be unlocked in 11.1.7 or future events
-
Others recommend submitting feedback via in-game tools
6. Other Bugs Worth Mentioning
-
Cooldown Manager not displaying for all specs – Especially Shadow Priests and Feral Druids
-
Mount texture flickers – Certain transmogs show up as untextured blobs briefly
-
Talent Loadout bugs – Some saved builds are not loading properly post-patch
If you're experiencing anything unusual, Blizzard's Known Issues Thread is the best place to check first.
