Game freezes whenever I log in or zone in anywhere

anyone else experiencing this?
I updated my game driver, disabled addons, no change though sadly.

sometimes I’ll get a message from my computer: “World of Warcraft is not responding”.
it seems to eventually fix itself after 5-10 seconds, but its very annoying.

I have no idea wtf is going on. Ive had this same PC since Legion and have not had any issues with any Xpac concerning FPS or Frame Pausing. This entire expac no matter addons disables…graphics all the way donw…I get like 4 FPS in dorn until i land and then get 80. PVP zones laggy as heck… Its been blizz this whole time as you can see from all the posts but they wont do anything about it

I have the same problem. It doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does, the game freezes for 5-10 seconds and then it resolves itself. The music will continue playing in the background, but the screen is just frozen and the game doesn’t react to inputs.

The issue started very recently.

right, that sounds exactly like the same problem I’m having. it started like this morning or yesterday I think. Definitely was not the case last Tuesday.

Others are having the same issue so you’re not alone. Just started very recently with me as well. Any zone ins/outs of dungeons, etc, or just logging into the game and its freeze city.

See my post. Blizzard wrote a bug in the guild news UI.

You might be running into a different issue than the OP. If the hardware 8 years old, does it still meet the requirements?

Yeah. I’m noticing a delay every time I zone in to a new place where it requires a loading screen. However, if I’m on a guildless character, no delay. :frowning:

Yep. It seems its only happening to ppl who are in larger guilds/guilds.

I did find that checking off guild news filters in the guild info section fixed the zone in lag.

Going on for me as well. Would love if Blizz would take a look at this
