Yea I am. Does depend on what I am doing and where I am. Lowest (when the blue spew is not going off) has been around 100. But thats around the rares and such. Could be game could be my specs but I have an 8700k overclocked to 4.8ghz and a 2080 super. The GPU I took off my OC from but I recently redid the thermal paste on it for I was getting black screens on and off no matter if I was playing WoW or even FF14.
I do know that WoWs settings love to reset back to stock settings during patches/updates. See what your FPS is set to cap out at in the advanced tab.
That was the spew I was talking about. Every time it hits just instant frame drop. And knowing what we are gonna be told only way to stop FPS drops is to lower draw distance. But its horrible when its even right next to you.
I kept looking to see if anyone else suffered from this yesterday and gave up. Got up today and found this. I tried everything, itās def either blizz or Nvidia driver issue. Whatās odd is if I roll back the driver to a couple steps back my fps is back to 60 but only for one session. If I go out and back in itās back to 6 fps. All addons are turned off and changed graphics to low settings, still unplayable.
Thanks for the confirmation that itās at least possible. I was lucky enough to win a 3080ti in āthe lotteryā a while back. So it certainly shouldnāt be graphics power. Iāll go through and reset everything to what it looks like it is currently set for though, thatās a good idea.
Edit: That solved my 60fps capping issue. I started going through and reinstalling and resetting all my configs to what they currently are and it was my monitor? Reinstalled the driver and reset the display rate and it shot right up. Frame rates are still nothing to be impressed by but at least I can stare at the floor with decent speed.
This also happens to me with modifier macros when I press down on the mod key that I use for them, while still getting the unusual fps drops that everyone else seems to be experiencing too. This also happens when I mouseover another player or enemy/friendly NPC (anything that will make a tooltip appear)
Alathea,
Couple questions - is this problem happening in all zones or just some of them? How many mouseover macros do you have on your main?

all zones for myself, including Torghast and dungeons. Typically run with a few mouseover macroās but removed all of them and renamed WTF folder with no addons and still the same.
I am getting full lockups. I have tweeted videos of it happening. It happens in things like hunter flares or areas with lots of particles. Likes to happen in key moments in pvp for some reason.
My FPS has dropped to the single digits since logging on today, even with all addons turned off, my FPS is so low that I canāt even play the game, defragged my computer, updated video drivers, optimized settings, nothing fixes it.
This is happening for me too. The game is not playable in this state. I even deleted my entire add-on folder.FF14 is playing fine so I know it isnāt a graphics card issue. Blizzard, please. I expected more. Things happen but this is obviously more than just a individual player issue. I am incredibly sad that after how many months of waiting that I cannot play the game. PVP, Dungeons, New Zones, Org, etc I have had unbearable lag in all zones.
For me, Iāve only had it happen in Korthia, except once in Revendreth. Iām almost willing to bet money that Revendreth is close enough for the vomit in the air attack from that rare to be detected, and thatās why itās stuttering there as well.
I steadily maintain 90-100 frames in almost all situations until that one specific moment. Then I maintain a steady 40 for 5 minutes. And then it gets fixed. Running a 2060 super with Nvidia up to date.
Yes, as people said its those damn āsoul tornadoesā in korthia that make my fps drop from over 100 to about 25. Never had that happen before so there has to be something blizzard can do to fix this.
All zones, for me is one specific character. I suppose I have several mouseover macros , almost every helpful spell is mouseover. Keep in mind that even standing still without casting or doing anything, just idling in oribos my FPS never goes above 40.
Another GM logged onto my character and noticed a 60 fps difference between my character and their own, I am not sure they would have my macros just by accessing my character.
Per the technical specialist that contacted me:
I was able to also verify this on logging into your character Alathea then logging into my own character about a 60FPS difference. I attempted to clear any hidden buffs on the character and test it with no gear made no difference.
If the issue continues from here. It is likely related to an asset not working properly that is only found on this character model. I certainly would recommend to bug report this issue for our QA and Developers to review.
Out of curiosity. I deleted all my macros (there are lots but dont worry i made a backup)
After making sure to delete them all, reload the game, the FPS was unaffected. For better or for worse it has nothing to do with my macros either.
Iāve had terrible framerate in Shadowlands areas with a lot of mist particles. Is there a way to alleviate this? Certain dungeons are almost unplayable due to the framerate.
This has been an interesting discussion, nearly all of the buttons on my main bar are macros, although only three or four are mouseover ones.
Iāve not logged in since reading about this, when I do Iāll try and test this hypothesis.
I did an M+ earlier, Plaguefall, and it was close to unplayable at times. Being an Australian playing on a US server Iām used to thinking ahead and allowing for that latency but this sort of lag is much, much worse.
I described it in the Map FPS thread, Iāll have another go here.
It feels like my FPS surges, like my games tries to catch up to where it should be but once itās there it lags behind and then tries to catch up again. Unlike a consistent high ping this is hard to play around as it isnāt consistent, I get it just being in combat out in the world too.
It makes it very hard to enjoy playing, Iāve hardly done any of the new content because of it, the desire to log in wanes.

Sounds like youāre already working with ticket support on this. For the time being, thatāll be the best thing to do since they can ask for files we donāt ask for on the forums for privacy reasons. Support should be able to help you figure out why this is happening just for your main.
upon reading this, i disabled Carbonite Quest module, and my fps in SL zones is back to normal. i can leave the addon running in non-SL zones without any fps loss, so i am curious as to why a quest addon would futz āthe current zones we should be playing inā
Anyone else here getting fps drops and stuttering when opening the map? Wasnāt fixed on the last shutdown and have nothing to do with addons or drivers also.

Yup. Itās really bad today after whatever hotfix/update they did last night. Only happening on characters with 9.1 as odd as that sounds.
