WoW Shadowlands Hotfix Update on December 10

And there is the next hotfix for World of Warcraft! At the moment, a new update for troubleshooting and optimizing Shadowlands appears almost every day.

We haven’t had to download a patch so far, so it seems to be just a server update again. Below you can find the official patch notes for this WoW update on December 10th.
