I’ve been having severe FPS issues since yesterday once the server login issues were fixed. And I mean really severe like 20 fps in arenas and battlegrounds. Basically the screen freezes for like 2-5 seconds and then I can play again for a few seconds and then it freezes again rinse and repeat.
I have no addons and only resubbed and reinstalled a week or so ago. There was some choppiness before but I would describe it as “bearable”. But now I cannot play the game with 20 fps in combat situations. Not sure what to do I have tried:
-Uninstalling and reinstalling my video card driver
-Lowering all graphics to the absolute lowest
-Set WoW to be allowed to use optimal power in power management
-reinstalled the game including deleting all intereface/wtf/cache folders and then installing the game afterwards
I know this is a tricky issue when it comes up but I am out of ideas short of buying a new computer.
edit: it happens when loading new players/objects but then subsides until i move into a new area and have to load more assets
