Can anyone suggest an addon similar to BigDebuffs? Since 8.2 my arenas are regularily crashing (I’m either unable to join - stuck at loading screen), get disconnects mid game from the server (connection is fine) and so on.
Right now arenas became literally unplayable for me. 30% of them ends witheither me being uanble to join, getting disconnects, or lags of 2-5 seconds, which is pretty much a disconnect.
It seems to be the only add-on on my list that is out of date and possibly causing the problem. (i’m running very lightweight interface anyway).
I know many people using BigDebuffs and no one of them (me aswell) has this issue.
I guess it’s something else.
Did you try to play without this addon and check, if you have the same issues without it?
I’ve done some research after your advice.
Turns out in my case it was a second graphic card. I’m running fairly old Lenovo yp510 with 2 graphic cards over SLI.
It seems the 2nd graphic card has a hardware issue. After removing the 2nd GPU these problems subsided.
Of course it introduced plethora of new issues. Basically, now the game feels like it’s suspended in molasses, there’s lag on input and in general it’s difficult to play, despite frame rate being fairly decent (between 40-80).
Why these problems were not so prevalent in previous patch is hard to say. May be fairly recent dmg, or a combination of things that exposed the issue.
My wife has the same problem with this addon.
We checked what causes the problems and it appeared that it produces tremendous amount of cpu load.
She is using i3-8350k@4GHz, 16 Gb DDR4 ram and 1080Ti, all watercooled, so its not overheat or hardware.
However in raids and on arena she is experiencing freezes and crashes. Just like OP.
