Stuttering

The amount of stuttering on my screen since TWW has been released is beyond insane. I have no add ons enabled. My graphics are turned all down. Im not in a guild. Why do i have massive FPS drop and frame stuttering in game. Im talking from flying in an area with 200fps and then all of a sudden its 30fps? I have never experienced this in any expac since i started back in TBC and i used to play on a laptop with no issues. I know my pc is not slow. I know its better than system requirements. This seems to be a massive issue with a lot of people. Why hasnt blizzard said anything

If you are seeing it in a particular area, it could be something is taking longer to draw and causing the issue. I’d suggest putting in a bug report.

Not many, if any, tech support agents to reply unfortunately.

I know it’s monitored for new issues, such as servers dropping, but for the time being this subforum is mainly for player discussion. In the PC world, given the vast amounts of hardware and software combinations, it would be hard to address a handful of people. Unless it’s an over all service stopping issue where everyone was experiencing it, I would not expect a Blizzard response.

I see you posted about this in September, but no information about your hardware, what OS, drivers.

|Processor|Intel(R) Core™ i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz|
I have a 1TB Harddrive a 500GB SSD and a 237GB Drive
I have a 1070 MSI Card latest driver
Windows 10

Which drive is wow installed on, which drive is your primary windows drive?

If installed on your hard drive, I would recommend moving it to the SSD if you have the space, though the install for wow is relatively large compared to what you can store on that size drive.

WoW is stored on the SSD along with a few other games and i still have 50g left over. I have had this PC since BFA and have had windows and wow stored on 2 seperate drives and this is the first Xpac i have had any issues with. All other xpacs have run smoothly

50gb leftover on an SSD sounds like it’s really full. SSDs should pretty much never be filled beyond 85% or so, due to how they function at the hardware level. It can lead to slow reads/writes and WoW has to do a ton of reading on the fly.

I’d try deleting some stuff on that drive to free up space and then run the TRIM tool. In Windows: This PC->right click the drive->properties->tools tab->optimize->from the list, select the drive->click optimize. It should only take a second or two to execute. Windows will usually automatically do it eventually(like once a week I think?), but this is how you can trigger it manually.
