Anyone else having frame rate issues after this pre patch, especially in raids.
im running on a high end system, and the game does not play like it use to prior to pre patch, huge fps drops many people in m guild reporting the same thing last night.
any others, fixes etc? blue?
i’ve just ended up disabling a ton of ‘unnecessary’ addons during raids, my game runs fine when not raiding but 25 mans just end up killing my fps, i really think this may be an optimization issue
I mean I’m using super minimal addon’s, DBM, WA’s, Details, and RC loot council. I notice it happening in bg’s like AV when everyone first mounts from the cave etc also.
and yes def in 25 mans… just trying to see what the fix it. I enjoy classic because it plays so much smoother than retail on high end machines. Need a fix ;*(
I would take a look at the actual weakauras you use, potentially disable them 1 by 1. Outdated / poorly coded weakauras can absolutely cause huge issues.
Addons.
Especially details. Anything that parses your combat log will cause massive freezing if they’re broken. This has been an issue for over a decade.
Disable details and watch the issue go poof
Disabled details, and wa’s, issue still persists.
Try disabling everything and see if it persists?
I haven’t seen any of the issues you’re describing and use even more heavy addons.
I didn’t see you say anything about a raid frame addon, but those can also be problematic at times, if you happen to have one.
Go to the menu
Go to advanced settings
Got to I thunk the bottom.
Now manually select your graphics card from the list.
Do this because the (auto)* setting is crap.
everything is turned off and my 1080 ti is selected as the gfx card.
Nothing has changed, except the patch. And now many people are having issues,
even that one sound file issue where the game crackles and makes it sound like your headset is broken.
That worked for me, ill look into other solutions
Hey my game was running like crap after pre patch check to make sure directx 12 is selected. mine was on directx 11 legacy mode for some reason and was low fps. I changed it to dx12 and its smooth again.
Thanks, I checked I’m still on dx12 also. IDK, I was running around 300+ frames in raids before now were dropping into the 60’s on trash. It’s obviously something on blizzard end, retail wow does the same thing.
Prior to this patch I was never under 300 frames in a raid, bg etc.
oh change your audio cache to an actual number
Multisample Alpha Test seemed very taxing for some reason, I turned that off and gained more than double my fps. And if you have Ray Tracing on just disable it, that doesn’t look any better anyway, it’s just slightly different shadows, not true Ray Tracing like Minecraft or Cyberpunk.
I dunoo why I have a monster system but I still run everything on low pretty much in any game… just that old school I suppose.
i had same problem and i was still on directx 12 but i changed it to directx 11 legacy and back and now the game is smooth again 
It is RC Loot Council. hasnt been updated since Feb, disable this addon and you should be good to go.
RCLootCouncil is fine(has being updated), we had a warlock with Muru macro that caused their imp to spam Blood Pack that caused the FPS issues for us.
I swapped to Elvui from Shadowed Unit Frames to fix it, problem is gone now, just go through your addons
I feel there might be a addon causing frame rates to go down. The only time it happens to me is when i raid with the new guild im in. Some people think im crazy about it but it only happens with them. I remember gearscore causing a bunch of problems back in original wrath where if someone had it running while raiding it would screw with others frame rates.
When im in pugs i never have any issue with it.
