Lmao… The lawsuit has nothing to do with it. It’s not like some angry Blizzard coder decided to break the game to get back at the pesky players. It’s a mix of Windows and Nvidia causing the problems for the most part. That and players using bad addons that are inefficiently coded, along with a bunch of dumb bloatware apps for their glowing cases and keyboards. Oh and don’t forget the paranoid conspiracy theorists that think running a VPN will hide their web history. Layer all of that together and you get stutters, frame dips, network lag, etc.
Oh but wait, even if you hit the nail on the head with what is probably going wrong for the people having problems, they will just claim they don’t run addons, don’t use VPNs, are on the latest Windows build and don’t have a single thing installed on Windows.
Your best bet, at this point, is to complain on the Microsoft and Nvidia forums about these issues or run WoW in DX11 mode.
Instead of turning off addons I went in to all the addons I currently did not use and deleted off all of them from the interface folder rather than disabling. Perhaps I misunderstood other posts referencing that disabling addons in game was not sufficient. In doing so I was able to resolve my problem and have not had this issue happen since.
I have this issue and it only happens on my priest. Anything quest related causes a micro-stutter and frame drops. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game and verified that the WTF, Interface and Cache folders were deleted. Additionally, I have reset the CVARs to default.
I’m still having issues. My ms stays really low 20-35 at most, but my frames still drop. The game occasionally freezes for a second, or stutters. Seems to be getting worse in some cases. I had a pretty good stutter in Korthia last weekend.
Yesterday in Dalaran and in Org I had my frames sit steady at 25fps for a few minutes. I never have frame drops in Org, and the spot I was standing in Dalaran I haven’t had any issues before. I wasn’t doing anything, just standing still.
I make sure my addons are up to date, I installed the Windows update that was supposed to help, I’m making sure to keep up with updating Windows. I’m also keeping my video drivers up to date. Not sure what else to do at this point.
Same issue here, I thought it’d be fixed after I left back in June, but coming back it seems they’ve not gotten around fixing it.
FPS stay at 25-30 and never go higher than that. Which wasn’t the case before while I played Shadowlands pre-June. Hopefully they fix it soon enough because it’s genuinely annoying
Boy, you know what’s SUPER awesome? When you have no latency problems for the whole day (never went above 40 ms all day long) so you think “wow, finally blizz fixed this months-long problem”. And then all of a sudden at 2 am it’s like someone just flicked a switch and I’m right back up to 10000 (!) ms world and “Welcome back to the WoW slideshow!”
This is ridiculous. I’m seriously considering canceling my wow subscription over this, and I’ve been a steady player since Wrath. I can log out of wow and play any other online game with no problem whatsoever, go back to wow, right back to slideshow framerate.
Didn’t have any problem with version 9.1 but since 9.1.5 dropped a few days ago, the game has become almost unplayable. Disabling add-ons, reducing FPS, reducing graphics overall… none of it works. It’s fine for a bit when I first sign in but as soon as I get into combat, the playability drops down to almost 0.
Under System Settings, under Advanced, under Resample Quality, can you check your setting, i had something random called AMD Super resolution, i know what it does, but i never selected it, when i picked Bicubic (Or anything), the stuttering/fps drop issue i had on raid went away. (Again 9.1 i had no issues, also i never saw this option in 9.1)
What is your render scale set to? Those settings only apply when your render scale is set to anything other than 100%. If it’s below 100%, say you’re upscaling from 720p to 1080p, then the AMD super resolution will do its magic. If you you have a render scale greater than 100%, say you’re downscaling from 1440p to 1080p, then bicubic will be used. The AMD solution only works for upscaling and if you have it set to use it, but your render scale is greater than 100%, it will use bicubic anyways. I think the tooltip even states all this.
I run at 115%, also setting it to 100% didn’t resolve my issue until i noticed this setting, turning that to anything else restored my fps during raid pull 70-80~ vs the crazy 30s it dropped after 9.1.5. This and resample quality were the only settings that changed, worked for me without any other changes so i don’t know what to say. Turning it back on causes everything to fall apart again.
Even if Blizz says xyz setting will do abc, it can always cause issues.
Set it to 100%. 15% more resolution doesn’t do much and you’d likely lose any visual gains to the filtering anyways. Again, the AMD one does NOT apply when resolution scale is greater than 100%. It’s only for when you’re at something like 66% scale. Anything over 100% will use bicubic, even if it’s set to AMD.
At exactly 100% scale, it will not use any of that filtering at all, no matter what is toggled there and I just verified that it makes zero difference when I switch the resample mode.
I just tested every major combination I could think of using different AA methods like CMAA, 8xMSAA and all the resampling combinations while @133% resolution scale. Not seeing a single frame rate issue with them.
What GPU/drivers are you on and what DX mode is your WoW set to? 11 or 12?
Same, here. I thought it was just me. Like strange lag. Out of nowhere, it happens. No matter what addons are or are not enabled. All settings on low/disabled don’t matter. Seems to be the worst in Maw/Torghast entrance area?
update Turning off AMD Super Resolution. Fixed everything it seems… odd because 1. I’m running a 3600. 2. I’ve never seen this before? I’ll update if it happens again.
This topic was from several months ago and the issue you are experiencing now are not likely related. We as that you not re open threads that have been inactive for more than 30 days, even if you think it might be the same or similar issue.
It sounds like Disabling AMD Super resolution may help but the issue comes back and there is not a current active thread on the specific troubles, go ahead and create a new thread for the issue.
It’s back!
