I’ve been getting a consistent amount of stuttering in-game, around 15frames droppes over and over for a certain amount of time, it’s not constant but it’s consistent, as in every 30-60mins I’d be getting these episodes of heavy stuttering that last for a few minutes, then the game runs completely fine, but then they come back again.
I am not sure what could be causing it and would appreciate any help, if any data is needed I’d happily provide it too.
I’ve had the same thing and it only started after the latest big patch. 9.2.5 I was fine and 9.2.7 suddenly I can barely get through SW or Org without stuttering at times. Other times it’s a non issue.
So in situations that occur with regularity like you describe, the likely cause is some sort of software conflict. however without more specific data than we would want posted here on the forums it can be tough to say for sure. So I am providing some more general troubleshooting for issues like this.
First make sure Windows is fully up to date, rerun the update process manually, install any updates, restart the system and rerun the update. Repeat until it says no more updates.
Then upgrade your system drivers via the system or motherboard provider as well as any hardware drivers for GPU, Audio, Network from the maker for that component.
If you have any addon managers installed. They are fine programs but they have the tendency to prevent our troubleshooting steps from working. Please uninstall them and leave them off your system until we have solved the problem.
Once that is confirmed, we need to delete the temporary game files to attempt to eliminate any corrupt data that might be affecting the client or characters. Your game will rebuild them when you next login but this will remove all installed addons. Please do not reinstall any addons until we know the issue is resolved: https://battle.net/support/article/7549
Let’s reset the in game user options:
We will want to run the repair tool on the game client: https://battle.net/support/article/7655
Try running your system in selective startup mode: https://battle.net/support/article/200483
Create a new administrator account: https://battle.net/support/article/34550
Once the account is created, shut down the computer, wait 60 seconds, restart, log into the new profile and try the app/client.
If that doesn’t solve the issue, submit a ticket making sure to include the requested system files.
I had a problem like this about a year ago… found it occurred when windows changes the random background (wallpaper)… so once I set the wallpaper to change every hour it went away. I have a rather high end PC-- not sure why that would even be an issue but that was absolutely the problem. Good luck!
WoW has been dropping horribly in framerate for me as well, like when both teams clash at hangar in Isle of Conquest, my game practically crashes with it freezing for five seconds at a time and running single digit FPS. It’s also stuttering where the sound will loop and the game will lock up for a few seconds. It’s been doing this for a couple months now, and I can’t run a scan and repair because it can never complete, I just get the “Oooops, something went wrong.” I then have to completely reinstall WoW, which I’ve done twice now in the last several months, and after reinstalling it, it doesn’t fix the problem. I don’t know what changed, but it’s at the point that the game is almost unplayable at times, everything’s up to date, so I don’t what’s going on or how to fix it.
