Since the patch 11.1 came out, I’ve been getting DC’d in raids and dungeons. It seems to happen mostly when there are a lot spells / abilities happening, but other times it has happened when I was just running in to pull mobs. I have tried repairing WoW, uninstalling and reinstalling WoW, done a UI reset, turning graphics settings down- also selecting my graphics card as the graphics to use, tried switching to direct x11, uninstalled all addons and it is still happening. I’m not being DC’d from anything else, its only happening in WoW.
My PC:
Processor: Intel 12700k
Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI
Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 3090ti
WoW is installed on Samsung pro 980 NVME m.2 SSD
I have the latest bios for my mb, and my graphics drivers are up to date.
I had some friends who were having DC issues to and ran the script to stop the blizzard addon profiling, but that hasn’t helped with my issue either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
In general your PC specs will not dictate your connection. It’s more of your ISP and it’s route to Blizzard’s servers. Other games, or even online services, have different routes. Even if those servers are in the same area. Different services like video use buffering to smooth your view. Unfortunately I have no easy way for you to test said route.
Everything on the internet is hosted in different places, so that info isn’t super relevant when troubleshooting. It’s similar to how your groceries and dentist aren’t likely in the same building.
Most disconnects are due to poorly made addons, apps in the background interfering, or momentary packet loss. If you’re tested the game with a clean UI (addons outside the directory), then try running WoW with 0 background apps.
I tried running WoW with no other apps running in the background and it still happened twice. I also tried having my router give my pc priority connection and that didn’t help.

I don’t agree with your assessment. This insult is completely unrelated to what tech volunteers do.
What does this mean? Are you looking at a ping test and judging it based on nodes that ignore pings? That wouldn’t make sense to do.
Think of all the people not posting here. Those of us who have been playing without issues (other than during DDoS attacks) since the expansion launched. If it was the Blizzard servers (which are inside Google datacenters by the way), we would all be affected, not some.
Most dont post on WoW forums due to the strenuous amount of neglect they get from forum mods, and or the amount of unhealthy feedback they get from people like you.
That wasnt an insult, it was a mere statement of fact.
you do realize that VPN/GPN’s now days show trace routes where issues arise with either your ISP or your games servers right? Hense what ive been getting at since i made this post. If issues arise at or near your ISP itll show instantly, but if those issues arise after a certain hop of the games server thats on that games agenda to find out why those issues are happening! Here is another thing, maybe just maybe you guys should stop flagging posts that have critical information pertaining to the servers that need attention! Ive posted numerous creditability with information that shows where the problems are happening. Then i find out blizzard has flagged your post as inappropriate and has removed your post. Talked to a metric amount of players that have had that issue with posts being removed after providing solid proof that its not their ISP but blizzards servers. ( also you do realize most players do screen shot their post for record keeping when it provides critical information when it comes to backing up statements right ??? yeah i didnt think so! ) we the players know who flags our post to keep the server issues under wrap to a minimum and its honestly very pathetic that YOURE doing it or are apart of it!
Whether its google, AMZ or whatever, being located in LA and chicago. If the stem of the issues arise when it hits those servers and not before thats where the issues stands. pretty simple common sense imo
You’re correct. It’s absolutely on Blizzard’s end. I’ve tried everything from restarting my router multiple times, completely deleting all addons and clearing all cache files, reverting back to old drivers, reverting to Windows 10, changed every graphics settings imaginable. If this was an isolated incident like some of these people seem to believe, we wouldn’t be seeing multiple different threads across the forums and even Reddit. It’s on BLIZZARD’s end, and they haven’t even given an explanation nor a statement regarding the issue. I even called my ISP and they said it wasn’t on their end. When you DC for 5 seconds whenever a big pull is done or big mechanic goes out, it wouldn’t even make sense for it to be addon related.
Upvote. This issue has not been resolved. I keep getting disconnecting every few minutes for no reasons. This issue appeared march 29th after maintenance.
