Massive stutters with DF client

@Óbvious-stormrage

that reply was to someone who’s thread got merged into this one, and was in no correlation to this particular issue

Hmmm… I wonder why they would merge it… Most of the complaining left in this thread is about stuttering:

@Kershew

There has been a general stutter issue… …Some of the core issues are actually related to performance issues between nvidia and windows 11 that have been previously discussed and are being addressed with updates by both microsoft and nvidia. We too are working on our end to address the issues from this.

That one was worked on yesterday:

@Kershew

There are also some specific zone/area service issues that have been hitting very high pop realms since dragonflight launch that are also causing issues. Azure Span and Valdrakken being the two main ones. This is not the same issue as what was originally reported here though I can confirm our engineers are aware of both issues and are working on them from our end.

Lag in the Azure Span

Hello everyone. We recently made some adjustments to the Community Feast that was contributing to lag in the Azure Span slowly over time after each feast as servers were up for a few days. How has your experience in the Azure Span been recently? These fixes should have improved the performance in the zone since the feast was the main culprit, but we’ll continue to keep a close eye out for any other sources of lag that may appear.

For the remaining chunk of issues (All the sound off stuff that people have been talking about is just taking some load off the main game thread, which is a sign of CPU bottlenecking):

@Kershew

Then there are those experiencing localized issues not related to either of these situations. It can be hard to determine if it is related to what I discussed above or if it’s something with the local system, client or network.

For those I recommend the normal troubleshooting steps of making sure windows and video drivers are up to date. Default the game client by clearing the cache, interface and wtf folders in the retail install directory. (This will remove addons) and shutting down other software while playing that is not needed for the game, system or connection to function. (Overlays, performance software, etc…)

Pretty sure that covers all the bases… Again, the CPU requirements going into this expansion were raised. Don’t expect to net the same performance you did prior to the 10.0 patch. Not even in legacy zones.
