Basically everyone agrees on that.
That said, technical issues will arise with any game, and threads about them should exist, but with any good team they would be getting responded to / addressed rather than ignored.

That is factually wrong. There are enough games that did not have technical issues when they were released. Do not mistake gameplay / logic bugs for technical issues.

It is not factually wrong. Pretty much all computer software has had a bug in it at some point, whether itās just not doing what it was intended to do, doesnāt like certain hardware, has slow performance, whatever. bugs are technical issues, and technical issues are bugs, whether you like it or not. You donāt get to redefine computer terminology.
All unintended behavior is a technical issue. You are just grasping at straws to make a negative reply towards me. I really donāt know why youāre attacking me, since I explicitly agreed with your post, butā¦ you do you I guess?
Workarounds for Linux: https://www.reddit.com/r/WC3/comments/1j3m6gf/linux_more_stable_fps_no_stuttering/
Limiting to physical CPU cores only with taskset (instead of WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY), Above 4G Decoding without rBAR / SAM and the launch argument -graphicsapi Direct3D12 helped a lot with the stuttering on my system.
Similarly, in some cases, performance can be increased by forcing the game to run on certain cores in Task Manager. Unfortunately there is no way to do this automatically for programs launched by a launcher like the battle.net app, it can only be done in task manager while the game is running.
If you have been experiencing a consistent, periodic stutter, there is a new update on the PTR that might improve this for you:
I can confirm the game runs much better on the 2.0.2 PTR and the hitching is gone. Jumped to 150 fps in some areas where i had 44 fps with 2.0.1

Problem description: Major and constant hitching in intervals of about five seconds.
Tried workarounds: Tested on Radeon dGPU (RX 7800 XT), Radeon iGPU (Ryzen 7600X), Geforce dGPU (RTX 5070); the first two on driver 24.12.1, the last on 572.83. Moved the game from NVME SSD to SATA SSD and verified the files. Updated chipset drivers and BIOS. Lowered graphical settings very low.
CPU: Ryzen 7600X
GPU: Geforce RTX 5070 (current)
GPU driver version: 572.83
RAM: 32 GB (F5-6000J3238F16G)
OS: Windows 11, build 26100.3624
Game display resolution: 3840x2160
Game style: Reforged
I have noticed that an upcoming patch is aimed to fix the issue, which Iām glad of. Still I thought it wouldnāt hurt to share confirmation on it.

I went from RTX 3070 which worked great and had over 200+ FPS to a RTX 5090. which gives me lik 100 fps.
I tried adding -graphicsapi Direct3D12 to the command line arg and changing CPU affine, trying different variations. Still the same. Feels ridiculous considering which GPU I use. I also verified that internal graphics are deactivated. Any other suggestions / ideas?
v2.0.1.22498
When I run game with āclassicā settings everything is okay, but when I switch to Reforge I have 100fps and framedrops to 60-65 every 5 secodns 
The funny moment I have split save between classic and reforged, on classic I have like 6 campanies completed and when I switch to reforged - only 5, how is this possible
Iām so applaused with this game, so I want to play old warcraft 3 instead, main menu is still laggy, game can crush after switching settings from classic to reforged 
Everything is having low usage, than in my experience only can be connected to the game optimizations: GPU usage 17%, CPU usage 15-25%, SSD usage 1%ā¦
including argument was not the fix for me.

So did the last patch actually fix anything, break more or did nothing?

Well, itās NOT possible to play the game, FPS constantly drops from 160 to 40, I was trying to play Story, but itās hard. No matter the graphic settings, Reforged or Classic it stutters a lot. Especially when I move my camera.
I tried the fixes listed above, thank you all who participated, but all I can get is drops from 160 to 60fps. Without fixes it goes down to ~40 FPS. Still itās not playable.
Just in case: I checked, no integrated gpu is in use only the main one.
Blizzard please fix that ASAP, Iāve finally decided to play WC3 multiplayer, but itās impossible.
Itās fixed on PTR

Thanks for you reply, checked on PTR, same drops to 40-50 FPS unfortunatelly
Well, you have a different issue then, because the issue that affected specific hardware was definitely fixed.

As if by magic, the patch out today fixed the problem and now my FPS is solidly locked to my monitorās max refresh rate again! Almost like it was a poorly coded game patch causing the problem, not ābad hardwareā.

The same post with the same gibe, just with the name removed. Just couldnāt help yourself.
Means more to you to point and laugh than it does to just report the problem is fixed for you.
I know, thats why I kept repeating āits not an AMD issueā becauseā¦ well, it isnāt. Itās a Warcraft III issue.
