Horrible FPS drops since patch

Why is this the only post about it???

Since patch fps are terrible.
I put ticket in with blizzard. They gave me the same troubleshoot which I had already done for this has been an ongoing issue. However, the patch seems to have worsen the issue.

My second response with them was to schedule a call since its ā€œsomething on my endā€. (There are forums of this being an issue since launch).

Thought it was just me. Before the patch I was running between 60-120 fps in most areas. Now even in Stormwind Iā€™m getting sub-60 fps. Even as low as the 40s.

ETA: Tested it in Classic and Diablo 3 to make sure my GPU wasnā€™t just dying, and those games are fine. Itā€™s only retail WoW. Ridiculous

This patch is a monstrosity, frost canā€™t even run frostbolt spec in solo shuffle anymore. We do no burst, the fact we have less burst makes fps drops even more limiting. If frost had burst with frostbolt we might be able to delete the enemy while we have low fps far away from anything potentially causing fps issues, for me combat makes it close to 1-2seconds of complete freezing I.e 0fpsā€¦ Now fights are so long, making more and more FPS drops happen for the duration of the fight which is unplayable in the first place mind you. Complete nightmare for frostmage this patch. I wish they would revert the patch.

Iā€™d like some compensation at this pointā€¦ game performance has gotten worse and worseā€¦ not one patch has been an improvement. Take it down all day ā€¦ two days idc just fix the game.

3000series issue strikes again. Known issue with the series causing lag spikes / fps loss / freezing, call it what you will.

The October driver was the best working driver from my research. Wonā€™t fix the issues. Apparently turning your in game sound off fixes the issue, not sure about that one. Could be something to do with Nvidiaā€™s sound drivers? Not sure.

Ever since the patch my FPS has been dropping to 15 FPS for inexplicable reasons. It only happens in combat, and only during certain points in combat. It seems completely random. There is absolutely no easy way to test what addon is the problem, if any addon is at all. Iā€™ve done a TW CoS and had no issues with and without addons. I did a mythic+ CoS and had issues. I did Heroic Dathea for an hour and a half with no issues, then suddenly started having problems. Disabled Details and Weakauras and still had problems. The amount of time and effort it is going to take to figure out what is causing it and when or why is way to much. I did the world boss with addons and had the lag, I did they world boss both with and without again and had no issues. Dropping to 15 frames isnā€™t fun. idk what to do at this point aside from play something else until they fix it.

In addition Iā€™m getting the graphical bug where certain ground effects become squares.

I totally get it my fps has been so horrible I canā€™t even stay in the cityā€™s to do any my fps drops so bad and hardly can move. I get out of the city and itā€™s starts to go up again but world boss groups are horrible I had my screen freeze cause there was over 30 people in the group had to do it twice to tag it. Itā€™s not as bad in raids but I donā€™t know what else to do it really bad in dragon races. It makes me not enjoy the game with the freezing.

I have a RX Raedeon 6800M and I am experiencing stuttering fps and unstable fps. Now to top it off lower fps now that the new patch dropped. I donā€™t think itā€™s a Nivida issue nor AMDā€™s. Itā€™s Blizzardā€™s issue to be fixed. I did a clean install of the game and itā€™s still there.

Adding my .02. Have had terrible FPS since the patch. 15 or less in Valdraken. Can get to 30 ish in raids, but I set my raid video to 1 all the time.

Had to switch characters. Tonight it was better for some reason, but as soon as I got in to a World Boss group my fps dropped to 30, and stayed around there even after hearthing back to Valdrakken. I had to restart the game, and even then it was only kind of fixed. My FPS was better after the restart, but still not as good as before this patch.

Is this happening to anyone in Rated Solo Shuffle?

If so than I can stop slamming my head against the wall trying to figure out what is going on.

-Thanks in Advance
