Serious lag ever since DF

Mods don’t say a damn thing here. You may see a blue post once a month at most, and it’s a response to something useless that no one cares about.

Delete your WTF folders.

Delete the cache folder also.

Ok everybody, I need help.

I game on two PC’s my desktop which runs New world, FFXIV, Destiny 2, Valorant, Elden ring, and many other games.

I then have a gaming laptop that runs ALL the same games, just on lower settings.

BOTH PC’s ran WoW beautifully during shadowlands, and even the first month or so of DF. Then I am not sure what happened. I got 120fps on both computers in Valdrak and one day I logged on and it all changed. 5-30 second freezes entering city’s / zones or phased WQ. I practically lag out in arenas and even just a 5 man dungeon. The game is practically un playable at this point. I have taken both PC’s totally apart to clean / look for malfunctions. I have stress tested both computers with stress test software as well as opening up multiple games ( FFXIV + Valorant etc ) and I had no problems. These issues ONLY happen in WoW.

If ANYBODY is dealing with this same issue PLEASE reach out to me so we can share ideas. I am about at my end with trying to get the game to work. I have been dealing with this issue since probably right around January first. I can specifically remember getting through christmas/new years break gaming my heart out and then bam… lag.

same kind of thing here. It comes and goes for me.
Every time I think they fixed it for a few days, it’ll start up again.

One problem I was having was my video card was OC’ed a bit.
It was causing instability problems…but ONLY in WoW for some reason.
After I turned the OC off, it stopped the random lag/freezing

It’s not your internet. Do you have a Radeon card? I had the same issue, occasionally complete crashes. I turned off hardware acceleration in edge and it stopped. It hasnt happened in a month.

Yea raiding is totally out of the question for me. Keys are a hit or miss sometimes I can get through it and sometimes I freeze on every pull and drop down to 5-15 frames for upwards of 30 seconds.

Yea I’ve been having these Same issues too I basically can’t even play the game the FPS is so bad

[Oakdice-illidan]

Nvidia cards for the ones asking, and I have been actively working on this to update all of you. Deleting WTF and Cache folders, clearing dns. Tried moving my router. Uninstalled the game again and tried that.

[Oakdice-illidan]

Any updates from anybody? I’m still actively working on this.

I cant even run through SW or Org anymore I swear to god its getting worse.

Had the same problem until I decided to uninstall my anti virus software. Now it’s ok.

Interesting, what brand of AV are you using?

[Johnwitch-proudmoore]

McAfee. Now I am just using windows defender.

[Oakdice-illidan]

I only use windows defender as well :x
