Hey I have a problem when i load into Valdraken i get 2 FPS, if i alt tab and bring up another program for 10 or so seconds then go back to wow it goes back to 70fps it only happens going into valdraken or logging into the game and is very very annoying has anyone else seen this problem / have a fix??
I’ve had that problem, but only when I have AllTheThings enabled.
That addon effectively adds like 5 seconds to your initial load-in while it initializes, if you’re using it, try disabling it and see if the game kicks up quicker.

its probly allthethings. this addon is horribly optimized and i would recommend only enabling it when you’re in a collecting mood

I only use 3 addons WA - Details - DBM nothing else
I don’t think it’s due to addons, it seems to happen regardless to me and my friends.

Wow is just awfully optimized when it comes to volume of players in one area.
Lots going on and a ton of people playing the game by standing/sitting there on their mounts. And a lot of npc activities going on. Just eats a lot of resources on load in.
Disable them all as a test.
Ive noticed Plunderstorm is loading really slowly. No idea why. But its infuriating.
ever since this patch dropped I have had an issue with 99% loading screen and then FINALLY it loads in after almost a minute or 2.
not fun when you’re in arenas…

Lower draw distance significantly as a test. If it improves, your computer is bottlenecking somehow probably.
One person I found said their problem was their monitor wasn’t configured properly:
This is going to sound weird but check your monitor settings. I didn’t know this was a thing but my monitor has a PC resolution and a TV resolution. It was on TV and turning it back to PC fixed my memory leaks and lag issues. And this also worked for a guildie.
What’s wrong with the performance in Valdrakken? : r/wow (reddit.com)
A prayer to the Omnissiah helps.
slow loading screens as well , and I want to mention I do not get slow loading screens in classic.
Never had issues with slow loading or lag this expansion except for stuff like Primal Storms and in World PvP quest areas when sharding takes a dump and puts too many players in one area.
What’s funnier to me are the texture bugs.
There’s this one four-legged Valdrakken guard with messed up armor that has flesh-textures on it, his shoulders have eyes and it weirds me out. He patrols the city so I don’t always see him, but he’s very noticeable due to his bugged armor.
So I have noticed it is significantly worse if im screen sharing on discord, with discord closed the problem doesnt seem to happen. PC specs is 4070, R5 7600x 32g ram I wouldnt think thered be a massive bottleneck with wow
If you’re using a more modern intel/amd processor, check ‘core parking’
There’s a chance that ~50% of your CPU isn’t being used due to parked cores
Open task manager in-game, check performance stats for your processor.
If many of your cores are ‘flat-lined’ and not showing activity, there’s your culprit.
I have my PC on High performance power setting so it shouldnt be parking cores and it doesnt look like it is in the task manager, Ive only had this problem on this new PC using win11, my 8 year old PC never had this issue its extremely frustrating
Edit: Update I’m not sure if its working completely but after more searching and testing it might be caused by windows 11 hardware accelerated GPU scheduling, turning this off had seemed to work on my initial testing
