Seems to be a bug not a technical issue. Started in 11.1, game client completely locks up for seconds then resumes normally on lots of different HW setups. Happens very rarely sometimes once in 10-20+ hours of play but often can happen at inopportune times.
Happens even without mods, seems to be happening to a fair number of people. I’ve seen it in M+, Raids, and Dornogal.
Many folks in my guild did not even realize this was happening to them they just assumed it was a mod or something but nope.
This type of freezing is different from typical lockups and freezes as the entire client becomes completely unresponsive including input and video. Its not just a frame skip or poor performance.
One of our group experiences this almost exclusively in the raid, and he’s never had issues before. I also occasionally have seen a freeze while flying around world zones, but they are far more brief (on the level of .5-1 second at most).
These are on top of the freeze that we sometimes experience for 3-5 seconds when accepting a battle rez, both in M+ and raids.
Still no fix for this game is literally unplayable, unable to cast spells or move for 5-7 seconds and it looks like everyone is just running in place. Tried every fix out there and nothing.
I checked his tweet, he’s saying there’s frame drops. What I’m experiencing doesn’t seem to have anything to do with frames. It’s like you’re DCing but it comes back in 5 seconds. Can’t cast spells, can’t move out of mechanics. It’s something to do with their servers. Other people have been reporting this issue since the patch came out, but mine started 3 days ago after all those DDOS attacks. I’ve used the weakaura and still nothing. I gave up completely after 6 hours of troubleshooting.
