Extremely high latency since today

Hello.

Today has been impossible for me to log in. First it wasn’'t logging and after restarting my pc a couple of time i managed to log in but for the short time i was able to log in, i was having over 6k+ latency.

This is a WinMTR I ran:

I have been scrambling to find a fix with no luck yet. I am sorry you have been having these troubles as well but it makes me feel better knowing I am not alone. I typically stood around 43 at home and world but now I am lucky to stay around 100ms home and world.

Second that OP and fellow lag-meisters.
I don’t have a decent setup or internet but this lag is kinda ridiculous.

Dont feel bad, I actually do have a pretty good internet set up and mine is still garbage. I have also noticed that my lag happens with the new CoD as well. Maybe an activision problem?

Got a minipatch and suddenly it got fixed.

What’s worse is I’m one of the affected w/ another problem that is random disconnects BUT Blue replied it was on their end.

I think they did quite a few changes and it’s just something that crept up. Seems it’s fixed for Hellroth, I will be on a bit later tonight to see if it fixed anything.

Stupendously high latency for me as well.

I doubled checked to make sure it wasn’t me by loading up Final Fantasy XIV. That game runs fine.

So this is absolutely a WoW issue.

Same issue here.

Sometimes when I load in, I can see some players spinning or running in place while other players are running around just fine and using abilities and actively doing things like nothing is wrong. I can run around, but cannot use any abilities or anything and things like portals will never load into the game.

The last time I logged in, I was able to mount and use a portal, then mounted again, completed some missions at my mission table, and did a couple quest turn ins at the warfront table. Then I flew to a nearby world quest, right clicked the quest item, but at the start of combat, I couldn’t attack or be attacked by any mobs, I could still run around and the mobs followed me, but no abilities would trigger. I sat like that for about 15 minutes talking in guild chat and watching videos until I ended WoW via task manager.

My game was running perfectly fine before this morning patch, I actually got on and played for about half an hour before servers went offline.

I am having the same issue. Since the patch this morning nothing but lag and disconnects. I tried doing a pathping, and it seems the problems/lag start as soon as I hit the xe & et servers. (Same as the OP). Hopefully just something they can fix soon.

Deleting my WTF and Cache fixed my high latency and disconnects

nvm back to disconnects

I’m in Seige of Org with a guild mate and I’m having HORRIBLE lag and my guild mate is not. I’ve restarted my router, deleted wtf/cache and restarted the game 6 times. It runs fine for a few mins and then boom back to 4k latency (was at 9k at one point!)

Same issue here. I can log in and play for 30 seconds to 1 minute then lag kicks in. World and home lag are 1800 - 3000 on Malfurion. Seems to impact my connection for a few minutes even after quitting out of WoW. After a few minutes, the latency clears up

Just to add, pathping and tracert show the issue occurring for me at 137.221.65.0 or as57976 .net which is a google domain in Kansas City.

I just keep getting D/C every 10min or so for the past couple days and it’s real frustrating.

It sounds like its Shaw Cable customers

Connected with a VPN to Vancouver allowed me to remain below 100ms. You are right, Boomsnap. Looks like culprit is a Canadian Line that effects more then just Shaw.

same issue. please fix

Yeah, this lag is brutal. The game is basically unplayable like this.
