Big LAG spikes. Disconnects

Has nothing to do with our internet.

This is driving me crazy. Exact same thing happening here. Can be standing around doing nothing, and bam, huge ping / lag spikes. Whats interesting, is my ping / lag to anything else online is totally fine. Its just in WoW.

I am wired. I have 5g fiber. My ping is like 20. I have a brand new $2k gaming pc with all drivers updated. I have clean installed wow and run without addons. No other games give me problems but when I do dungeons or content with others especially, I have small lag spikes of freezing and the game d/cs constantly. Sometimes a vpn works but I should not have to use a vpn to play this game. What’s going on? It’s only since TWW for me as well. Never had this issues before and have played the game forever.i

lag spikes and disconnects? i get those too, alongside massive framerate drops. i think it has something to do with customized mounts and some new effect they’ve put on armor, but i’m not sure.

i used to lag in valdrakken, but could atleast run around and do things in the other dragonflight zones. war within? does’nt matter what zone i’m in, i get unplayable framedrop after framedrop.

i used to play this game on an old XP computer. sure, i had framedrops back in MoP on that thing, but those were’nt nearly as bad as these are.

I get it when in dungeons so not related to mounts for me. But it’s basically lag spikes that don’t show in the latency check frame and then it just D/Cs me with WOW51900319 error. It’s really bad. Once I get D/Ced in a dungeon, I know it will be at least 2-3 more during that run-if people stick around to even finish it. I have done DNS flush and everything I can think of and nothing on my end helps.

Same here! I’ve also got a 2K+ gaming PC I had built for wow, only 2 yrs old. Im wired in with high speed internet, im computer literate, and keep protection software on it.
I’ve had slight dc’n since TWW came out but since last reset on the 15th it’s been bad.
Worse in the city or in a group,
Bottom line I’ve done everything drivers update, addons stay updated, uninstalled the app and the game
Still happening!
It’s ruining playing for me!!!
Blizzard PLEASE FIX!!!

Just an update. Still happens. I bought a new adapter. It seems to happen less on a wired connection. I don’t see any packet loss when I run WinMTR… any help would still be greatly appreciated. <3

Don’t have a solution for you, but just a related note. We had to change our internet setup cause our old router was faulty like 2 months back. My sister was a wired connection then and she didn’t really have any issues with WoW.

Since we got our new internet we are all on wireless but with these whit boxes that “give us an ethernet connection”, but it’s still basically wireless, and my sister now has the disconnect issues that I was having cause I was always on wireless even when we had the old setup.

So my guess is something with War Within specifically doesn’t like weird internet connections, like if your internet stability falters even the slightest you get disconnected. That seems to be the case for me and my family anyways.

That is correct. WiFi connections are not recommended for MMOs due to interference.

I never had issues before and have always had a wireless connection

Uhhh, you just said you did have issues on wireless and now your sister has them. :confused:

I never had issues before using wireless UNTIL War Within, sorry I should have specified.
