Game freezing in Raid and M+ since 11.1

Interesting. I have that setting on so I haven’t run into this. Thanks for reporting in case others don’t.

Really hope this works. I feel like I’ve tried so many things. Every different setting, removing addons, repairing, updating drivers, etc and still have the same issue. Will try this today.

Do you think this could have anything to do with the server issues? I have found people with near-identical settings and hardware as me, and don’t have this issue. They are on a different realm. I’m on Tichondrius and it’s been plagued with DC issues since S2.

The server issues have been DDoS attacks, so those would interfere with connection quality for a limited time while they mitigate them. After the attack ends, things should go back to the way they were before.

I think it’s mostly related to the Windows update and some of the GPU driver versions (in my case it was).

There was another thread that found out it was their addons.

Is this solution you found still working? I am using the Causese 11.1 S2 TWW Dungeon weakaura pack so going to see if deleting this solves the issue tonight.

If anyone hasn’t removed addons from the directory to test if they cause the freezes, then definitely circle back to that step before performing any further troubleshooting.

This happens 2-3 times per hour, and is not correlated to there being a big pull or large encounter, though it does happen on combat start or middle of combat.

ONLY started happening since 11.1, and removing all add-ons does not fix it.

This is what is happening to me…game freezes, looks like it’s about to disconnect and everyone running in place…only fix is to hard close the game and reopen…happening in delves, m+, and raids…

I dont use DBM and it still happens

Do you have weaka auras, Big or Little Wigs, or Details/another dps meter?

Following up from my last message. I personally converted to BigWigs as I thought DBM could be the cause. It worked well for almost a week but last night in our undermind raid run it happened on at least 2 of the boss fights :frowning: . This was without WA, but I do have details (someone else mentioned details).

Same problem, ive been cycling through my addons trying to figure out which one it is, and the freezes got shorter when i switched from directx12 to 11 but theyre still happening every so often about every other key or every 3 bosses, but not consistently on specific bosses.

Updated all the drivers, did a /scannow, not a problem in any other game; nothing seems to stop it.

Already did everything possible and still having the same issue. 1-2 second screen freeze and after that, the game comes back to normal, but that is sometimes deadly on m+. I’m using a RX 7900 GRE. Already uninstall drivers, installed different drivers, played without any addons, played with different graphic settings, installed windows 10 instead of windows 11, tried directx 11 and 12. Nothing fix this. The problem is in the game. It’s usually when something is about to happen, like a mechanic in m+ like the saws on floodgate or the green circles on the ground of theater of pain. I had the same freeze when I was outside dornogal and used the Gallagio Highroller’s Boomstone I really don’t know what else to do

Can confirm this happens about once per key.

happen to me and someone in my party random freeze 2-6sec

Interesting that it happens when a mechanic is about to happen, that theory could be correct

Blizz please

I did this and I still had the exact same issue about a dozen times. I switched realms and then had 25 dungeons in a row without a single freeze/hang. I transferred all my config, WTF, addons etc to the new realm so nothing in my UI or addons changed and I was playing with buttery smoothness.

Now it’s back and getting worse. I have a feeling it’s a backend issue.

It’s not this. There are several players reporting being on 23H and have the same problems. I’ve disabled all addons – same problem still. The only thing that made it momentarily better was realm transferring. I couldn’t believe how smooth it was. Maybe this could be something with the client-side character file/memory?

I ran about 30 dungeons without a single freeze. Now as of today, it’s back again.

Disabling addons does almost nothing, just removes their visual elements. They still interact with the game.

Did you move to a server closer to your home? Some are in Chicago and some are in Las Vegas.
