Well it seems to be fixed. I do have some concerns however, as the hotfix file is getting quite larger, and I fear it will exponentially grow and grow.
What is the reason for these huge logs? Why is this a recent addition? Why cannot these logs be done server side? What purpose do they serve?
The lag may be gone. But I am still worried for my hard-drives long term health.
It doesn’t freeze with every quest turn in now, but it still freezes sometimes, I’m getting microstutters and short freezes at other times now, and things are loading more slowly overall.
It seems to be ok. But I’m still worried about that tooltip file. Why there are so many lines written over there?
Seems fixed. WQs and quests are not flash-freezing the game anymore.
So far things appear to work fine. Loading seems a bit slower though. Tooltip log is at 1.3 mb
edit: Okay for comparisons sake, I redid the work around. The slower loading is gone, and game still runs smoother. So this patch has made some improvement, but there does seem to be some more to go yet. The worst of the stutter is gone for me. But I’ve got serious delays in fully loading/renduring all the graphics/textures now and do still get an occassional micro stutter.
So as the game still runs better for me using the work around, that’s what I will keep using for the meantime (the read-only to Hotfix/Tooltip log files).
And judging by the replies, looks like the patch is getting mixed results. I did reboot my machine after patching (btw).
Still having the problem, but I’m from Brazil and I don’t had any patch here today for me. What should I do?
All is well here too. In time for the faction assault in Boralus too! Thank you Blizzard.
Looks like it’s fixed for me now as well.
fixed too with the update, thanks blizz 
Tooltip.log now at 6.52mb and climbing. How high should we expect this to go? before long it will be larger than the rest of my entire battlenet folder by itself.
Stuttering fixed. But… tooltip file is currently at 10mb and climbing. Loading screens are far worse than they were when I had tooltip and hotfix files disabled. Something is definitely still going on.
Seems to be fixed. But I am still using the work around since my log files grows way to fast and loading screens takes more time then it was before. With the work around I have no problem at all.
I’ve just confirmed something about the tooltip.log, it seems like the file resets at every login, I had like 12mb after I logged off last time, so I logged again on BN and after I launched the game my tooltip file was back to 200kb. May someone else confirm this please? At least looks like we don’t have to worry about it getting bigger as it resets at every session.
I noticed the same with the log files (hotfix and tooltip), tooltip already at 1 mb. Don’t know how big these files can get to. As a side note, ever since 8.2.5, the game closes too quickly when I exit game. Previously it takes 2-3 sec to close, now its instant. Just feels really weird.
Edit: It seems tooltip does reset after re-login. Mine went down to 20kb. Does this mean the longer you stay logged in, the bigger the file gets to?
Think I’ll be leaving the logs as read only. A log file shouldnt be getting into the multi-megabyte range in a play session. That’s still a lot of writing. Has anyone ever needed to actually access any of these logs for troubleshooting any other issues? If it’s telemetry being sent to Blizzard automatically there should be an option to disable that.
Did you reboot after the patch? my loading screens are instant now, it’s nice like it was before the patch, no idea about the tooltip tho
Confirming the Tooltip.log does reset each time game is launched. That thing can get pretty big though each session.
i been playing all day no stuttering but yeah the tooltip.log can get pretty big
Will test once Im finish working…hopefully it will fix…
It is fixed for me! And also fixed was my gamma flashing on load screens and also the LUA error with pets on the AH! Great patch, thank you so much for fixing it Blizzard.
