Track humanoids/shapeshift 1 second game freezes *YTube demo

WoW Classic WoW Classic Bug Report

Toggling track humanoids causes a 1 second freeze. This also happens if you have track humanoids active while shape shifting, it’ll freeze your game because its toggling track humanoids when you shape shift back and forth its really annoying. There are some hunters who are also reporting

Same thing is happening to me (Whitemane NA). The stuttering/freezing is even worse in zones with a lot of people even if they aren’t appearing on my minimap (closer to 3 secs). Had to turn it off to so I wouldn’t get wrecked during World PvP.

I experienced this with tracking on my hunter and thought it might be issues with addons.

Also on a completely unrelated note spamming wingclip and gaining weapon skill too quickly will DC you from the server. :upside_down_face:

Ok, so this is 100% a track humanoids thing. Probably something to do with loading some sort of cache, hence why /reload temporarily fixes the problem, until the cache becomes too saturated with player information. These are all educated guesses on my part

Sounds exactly like what I was thinking. Only /reload is clearing this issue up and I haven’t found any ways to macro an auto turn-off for tracking.

Same issue when toggling between track mining nodes and track herb nodes.

same here, feral druid tracking humanoids = 1 sec lag spike everytime I shapeshift. If I turn humanoid tracking off the lag goes away. definently tracking causing the issue

is there anyway to perminantly disable humanoid tracking until this gets fixed?

10

I have this same issue.

ADMIN ADMIN ADMIN! This is also happening to me. Has to be some sort of fixable bug. if you Alt f4 it will temporary fix the stutter only to come back 30min later. Its 100% related to track humanoids.

Try using /reload in your chat box instead of closing out the game

13

Ferals are already getting screwed due an “engery bug fix”, now we ever we power shift, our game hangs for a second.

14

Can we just get that [Tracking Humanoids] skill removed there is no reason for me even to use it. That’s why I have a Hunter

Same thing happen when you switch from Mining and Herbalist

I’m glad I finally found a post about this. When swapping between track mining/herb, game stutters for half a second or so. If I go into video settings (not even modifying settings), then go back to game, I can switch without stutters for a few minutes.

This is likely a resource leak on the Map screen. Not an addon problem. You can reproduce the problem by repeatedly opening and closing your map.

  1. /reload to get a fresh UI.
  2. Toggle your favorite minimap tracking skill, and it should be instant
  3. Open and close your map a couple dozens times
  4. Toggle minimap tracking skill again, and notice the freeze

The more times you view the map screen, the longer the delay. I’ve managed to get it to a point where Windows thinks the game isn’t responding and prompts me to close application.
