AT&T U-verse High latency/disconnects main thread

Same here. I actually got kicked from the game on the day Visions launched, the lag was so bad on my server. I disabled all my add-ons, thinking that was the issue. It didn’t do anything. I’ve noticed it mainly happens to me when I’m going from one location to the next, when the text pops up. My boyfriend, whom I live with, says nothing is going on with his gameplay, and he has all his add-ons enabled still. We’re in the same house, on the same servers, on the same router, and we aren’t playing at the same time. So I have no idea, but it has made my dailies almost impossible. Haven’t even thought of trying to do a dungeon. The fact that it’s been going on a week for me, and isn’t a “known issue” for Visions is a bit discouraging.

Normally get 30 ms, but today it’s been a constant 60-300 ms. Other players reporting the same thing.

Lag was just isolated to Vale yesterday, but today it’s been bad everywhere. Ran a tracert and the slow down appears to be occurring on Bliz server.

Either way, game is borderline unplayable, so I logged off. Guess that’s their plan for fixing this?

MY raid group is experiencing the same lag and its making it difficult.

Same here in Fort Worth, TX - holding around 150ms world.

Add me to the list of affected players. Game keeps locking up, 3-5 seconds at a time. ms is off the charts, up and down. Playing is awful.

Just to try and help support out.

Charlotte NC area, AT&T Fiber (1 GB). Local ping looks like 20-30ms on an EST server (Thrall-US). World MS ranges from 100-200ms. Getting bad stuttering and delayed effects.

I suppose the next step would be to post WinMTR logs so that they can analyze the routing. Although, just taking a quick glance and asking others while in raids/instances, it doesn’t seem to affect everyone. In fact, the majority of the posts are from CST or PST server locations, with exception to the few on EST. So the likely culprit is possibly a hand off at one of these server locations.

I too have had bad lag issues since Tuesday reset. I have verified issue is not on my end. No connection/lag issues for many other games / sites.

Same here. In Panda Land this morning and in the middle of killing a mob, I noticed that the mobs health wasn’t moving and I wasn’t getting hit. Realized that the game just locked up. Wouldn’t let me exit game. Had to exit thru ctr+alt+del. I just thought I needed to delete cache again. I noticed in my wow retail folder there was a new one called “blob_storage”. Wth is blob storage? Also, there are 2 error folders. I tried to share/copy/paste the screen shot but I’m getting older (50 lol) and I cant figure out how to share the screen shot. TIA :+1:

Howdy!

Everyone in this thread is utilizing AT&T U-verse. Can you please run a WinMTR for 10 minutes during this issue and report back the results here for us to review! It would help us track this issue down faster as it appears to be a ISP handoff issue.

Thank you.

It’s not your internet. It is Blizzards server. We now have a latency of 3000 here in Australia, and our friends at home in the US are in the red also. Think the servers need to be re-started maybe?

Biggums please start your own thread with a WinMTR. This is not related to your ISP that we are aware of. We do not have any outstanding world wide issues. Our goal here in this thread is to help track down the AT&T U-verse issue. If we find it’s linked to other ISPs due to the route we certainly will update this thread. Thanks.

Ok. I am sooooooooo aggrivated atm. I did the WinMTR, went to Pastebin and I must have not done it correctly because it will not let me paste the results. It says links are not allowed. I’m NOT tech savvy and feel stupid so I need some help. The last 2/3 WoW updates have really screwed the game for me and I’m trying to do what has been suggested but I cant figure out the simplest crap! Signed: Frustrated

Seems that Blizz is “working on it”. I cancelled my sub until it’s fixed.

you can either post the entire pastebin link, then highlight it and click the preformatted text button at the top of the reply box that looks like this </>, or you can just post the letters at the end of the pastebin link

I have been having disconnects/low framerate, so I went to delete the cache (I have been doing this daily for about 1 week). There were some folders under “retail” that I am unfamiliar with and curious about. I am so not computer savvy =) so I was hoping someone can help me. 2 screen shots to follow.

sigh I cannot get it copied/pasted or otherwise shared, but, it shows in the “retail” folder: blob_storage, the usual cache, wtf, etc and 2 error folders. Is this normal?
