Error 132 shows you a prompt that memory could not be read and does not let the players log in to the game. Even if you’re able to login into the game it will start crashing after every 10 minutes or so.
It can be quite annoying and is mainly caused by corrupted files, outdated add-ons, or in some cases incompatible drivers. Here are some fixes that can potentially help you sort out this problem.
How to Fix WoW The Memory Could Not Be Read?
- Repair WoW
First of all, you should delete all your addons as well as the cache and WTF folders. To repair the game you just need to first open up the battle.net app. Next, you need to click on the WoW icon on the launcher. After that just click the settings icon next to the play button. Go into the “Scan and Repair” option and start the scan.
The Client will start verifying and repairing any files which are corrupted. After this process is done just log back into the game to see if the issue still exists.
- Run as Administrator
Another possible fix for this error is running the execution file as an administrator. Just go to the WoW.exe file and right-click it. Next click on “Run as administrator” and then log in to the game to check if that fixes the problem for you.
- Update Drivers
One of the main causes of this error is that the graphic drivers are not up to date. This is why you’re running into Error 132 again and again. Updating your graphic driver’s latest version can potentially sort out this problem for you. If you’re not sure what drivers to install just go to the Nvidia or AMD website and input your GPU model. You’ll start seeing recommendations of graphic drivers compatible with your GPU
- Reinstall the Game
If the error 132 exists even after you have repaired the game then you should try reinstalling the game completely. Just go into your blizzard client, WoW, and then uninstall it from settings. After that give your PC a restart and then install WoW again.
- Uninstall Security Programs Temporarily
It is also possible that the security program you recently installed or updated might be preventing you from accessing the game files. This can also stop you from logging in as the security program can flag the game files as a security threat.
So, you should try uninstalling or disabling these programs temporarily to see if that fixes the problem for you. If it does then you can go ahead and find some other security program to use. Or you can configure it so that it does not interfere with the game files.
These were a few fixes that can help you potentially sort out your problem. But if you believe that your issue is not mentioned here then opening a support thread on Blizzard forums is your best option. The support team can help you sort out any issue you’re facing quickly and efficiently.
