So i’ve been having really long loading screens and my wow is installed on an SSD, so i’m not sure why i’m getting these really long load screens now, it’s the first loading screen when i zone into a place thats long, after that everything loads quick. Any ideas? Thanks.
Yes. Especially auction adding that have large databases.
Hey there Nergin,
The answer is, in short, Yes addons can increase load time.
When you go through a load screen the full user interface and area must be reloaded. Addons add unique changes to the interface, these changes require more information than what was there without them. As such, they increase the amount needed to be loaded.
There are ways to counteract this. Having a fast hard drive, a good amount of Ram to handle your addons, and a sold internet connection. These all can decrease the load time.
I hope this information finds you well!
