Lag/Jittering with every quest hand-in/Level up

I also am running on a laptop and don’t have the everyone option.

Me too i didn’t had the everyone option, but i simply went to administrators and clicked deny on the square next to full control, it auto clicked the rest and then i clicked apply. It worked like a charm and no more freeze. Make sure you launch from the retail folder instead of the battle.net app, it resetted the permission for me if i used the app.

So I can’t launch from the app ever now if I do this?

For now yes, that what it look like for me at least, you gonna have to type in your password manually for now. Make sure you don’t have any virus or keylogger :slight_smile:

Thank you! I will hold off though to see if a blue ever decides to respond. I feel like this fix isn’t a true fix since we’re supposed to be launching the game through the bnet app. CAN A BLUE PLEASE SAY SOMETHING?

Blizzard hasnt updated us in two days.

Antisocial’s fix fixed it for me. Back to smooth playing again.

I feel like it’s not a full proof fix though… If you can’t use the bnet app then its not working properly.

I get the same thing. Happens on all toons in all zones.

I agree with you, but till there is a fix, this still allows me to play for now without the freezes. Im ok with that.

I just want a reply from the blues. It’s unreasonable that they’ve said nothing for over a day and a half.

Hey all,

We are not recommending to make any permission/security changes to files at this time. This is not an official fix.

This issue is considered a high priority bug and our WoW team is working to get it resolved as quickly as they can. Hang tight and we will provide an update once the fix has been released.

Thank you all for the reports and your patience through this.

Thank you for the reply. I was wary of trying that fix.

Should I edit it out of my post? I don’t want to cause any harm.

@Antisocial - You are welcome to remove it if you want, although now that it’s been posted here and on reddit the information is already out there.

I’m unsure of what issues may arise in the future if it’s left this way honestly. For anyone who has already performed the change I would just recommend going back in and undoing the changes once the official fix is out.

Hopefully this will actually get fixed now that someone on the outside found the problem and did the workaround.

Understood, well since the battle.net app change it back to normal automatically for me, i won’t really need to do anything. I will still check anyway though.

Thanks for responding, and im hoping this gets fixed today before the weekend. I wanna quest on my mage main and headaches from constant freezes were getting to me.

No security tab.

Thought my computer was breaking for a bit.
