I have been experiencing this freezing issue for over 4 months now that was introduced in TWW pre-patch. I’ll link the posts below made by others also experiencing this or similar freezing issues. It would be great if Blizzard would acknowledge that there is a problem. It would be even better if they they said they’ve got people working on it. And it would be best if they actually solved it, since it is really difficult to enjoy the game when the game itself prevents you from doing so.
Hello all,
For the last week I’ve been having massive lag spikes that last for 5-10 seconds every 1-2 minutes or so on the new Anniversay Classic server Dreamscythe.
I’ve noticed it happens most in dungeons, but time to time I’ll see players running in place when traveling in the open world. I just did a BFD run and it was completely unplayable.
My computer is decent. It plays retail lag free and had no issues with SOD or classic. I also tested my internet and got 55.1 mbps download and 22.9m…
I’m at at complete loss. Been playing WoW for 20 years, with little to no issues ever. In the last few months, for whatever reason, I am experiencing sudden latency spikes from 70ms to 520ms. Usually 70ms to 130ms. My average for the past several years depending on the server, is 70ms for west coast server, and 30ms for east coast. It doesn’t matter if it’s WiFi or wired. No addons, fresh install of the game, etc, etc. Quickly rebooting the game always helps for a bit. I tried Nord VPN, it made …
Over the past 2-3 weeks I have been noticing that my MS will get increasing higher as our raid night progresses. This is only happening while in the raid instance. While I am out in the open world, dungeons, delves, it is fine, stays in the 40-50ms range. When I zone into the raid instance it will start around 50-60 and randomly shoot up to the 200 and up, getting to the point where none of my actions go off until 5-10 seconds later. I can normally fix this for a period of time (30-ish minutes) …
I’ve had this happen twice in the past week where the game freezes suddenly for about 5-10 seconds and comes back very blurry.
Afterwards I exit the game and do a Scan & repair and it downloads a 66mb file, not sure if that actually has anything to do with it though. It doesn’t happen often but it’s pretty annoying.
Drivers are up to date as well.
I want to start by saying I recently built a new PC (2 months ago). It has 32gb of ram, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 4070 ti super. My previous rig was 5 years old and had 16gig of ram, i7 9700k and a 2080 ti.
I play both Cata classic and SoD and I experience this issue in both games. The game becomes very slow and choppy almost anytime I alt tab and tab back into the game. It’s also fairly slow and choppy when loading into the game or reloading ui. It doesn’t last “long” but its still annoying considerin…
