Large changes to the UI and addon frameworks usually need a big sweeping pass to avoid the bulk of interface related problems that people would have. Same goes for the graphics settings.
Then don’t use them? I mean really, you only need a damage meter and DBM, that’s it.
So, are you guys going to fix this? Or explain what’s causing it? Or announce that you’re working on a fix? Anything?
Wondering the same actually… My sub runs out in a few days and I wont be resubbing honestly the game still runs like complete trash compared to before and we haven’t heard anything but the one blue post in this thread about sending dxdiags.
Everywhere has seen a drastic performance decrease in game let it be the old world or shadowlands content you can’t go anywhere without the game dropping fps and stuttering. I’m just glad this happened before I wasted money on dragonflight at least because theres absolutely no way people are flying around at 900% speed on a mount with the way the game is currently running lol.
The cynic in me thinks that Blizzard will never officially acknowledge this. The pre-patch common issues page links straight back to this thread when you click the link regarding performance.

I hope we get an update on the stutter eventually, I can deal with reduced overall performance at the cost of game development/enhancement. It’s the substantial and random frame drops to new .1% lows that’s killing me.
Generally ran all of shadowlands between 125-144 FPS. Which still seems to be the average case but random dips to 30-50 FPS is really jarring when playing when stuttering through keys/raiding.
Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for providing the requested information and attempted solutions tried. This issue is high priority and work continues to be done to implement a fix.
We’ll share updates in the thread as soon as they are available. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience, as I know that it can be considerable in situations such as this.
I hope the dev team can fix it soon! I miss to play the game like i used to, without fps drops and things.

I’m on a Mac and I’m having the stuttering issues too. I turned my graphics all the way down, GPU usage is typically around 75%, but the stuttering gets bad randomly.
Many with the issue is on Win 10.
Thanks for the update. 
Win 7 too.

Thanks for the acknowledgement and providing a priority status.
I installed these just for fun and issues still persists, so no one else have to get false hopes.
I thought I had to do something for some people somewhere. The Windows 10 one has no issues like this actually, so I just made it for the heck of it. For anyone in general:
Windows 10, version 22H2 -> Known issues -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-22h2#known-issues
Good to know. With the exception of a few people in this thread who have repeatedly just flat out refused to acknowledge there’s a problem, I think I can speak for most of us when I say we’re looking forward to some performance improvements. Stuttering is the devil for me. I can deal with slightly lower frame rates, but stuttering kills my inner child.
Thanks for keeping us updated! I hope the devs can get to the bottom of this soon.
