Am I the only one with this problem

Hello

Since the begining of the new patch I keep getting weird FPS drops and CPU usage spikes and sometimes GPU spikes in some zones , especially in Oribus.The most obvious is Oribus - moving in the big circle, passing players my FPS constantly drops from 60 to 55-53 somtimes less for like 1-2 seconds and it gets up to 60 again and gets down…When I don’t move it is stable 60. Also I noticed that when this stuttering happens my CPU usage goes from 10 to 25 and somtimes to 30% usage and then it goes down to 10-15 % for like 1 seconds again.

I have never expirienced such problem before. My pc is not the best but also I am not running at max settings. I am on the reccomendet for my system around 5.

CPU-3600X, GPU-1660 SUPER, 16 RAM, stable net.

Did you try disabling all addons? Usually addons are at fault for this. Some are still not updated unfortunately.

it isn’t only you, i am experiencing these problesm too even withouth using addons, i think it’s an issue with the game.
but either way this seems a topic for Customer support

It’s a current issue affecting Nvidia cards from what I’ve seen, some people on the US forums have noted that using the 517.48 drivers solved some of the issues for them so it’s worth giving that a try.

Same here I use RTX 3070ti and my fps was stable before patch and now it spikes and lag. Same in COD mw2 as poster before said: download drivers from past :slight_smile:

It might indeed be an issue with ngreedia cards as I haven’t experienced any difference on my AMD card.

I play on a Dell gaming laptop I purchased 3 years ago. I tend to avoid crowded areas as the fans of my Laptop start spinning faster when that happens.
Even in Ogrimmar I avoid the AH in the main entrance because it has too many players. That’s why all my bank characters are BEs and are in Silvermoon.
My game card is also Nvidia.

Edit: I also had to reduce the graphics from 5 (recommended) to 1. Reduce visibility to minimum to lower down the heat on my Laptop. I recently had to send my Laptop to repair and they changed the motherboard, Ram and battery. Luckily it was covered by the insurance.

Cheers.

I got this issue (AMD user here), ive disabled about half my addons that I can part with including the ui one since Im trying to use the ingame one now. Unfortunately I cant bear removing all on 100% as suddenly relying on the in-game info for some collector stuff makes me feel close to blind.

Its a known issue and its being looked at by dev team,the stutters are horrible since df client pre patch.

ASUS ROG RTX 4090 and INTEL 13900k on fresh windows format and 0 addons and stutters still present when players/objects pop in in the image.

this was not present on shadowlands client.

you can track the discussion on US forum here and also theres allready a blue post saying they are looking into it:

nothing you can do besides wait for them to fix the game.

Are you running the game in DX12?

My issue fixed when I changed to 12 from 11

Many, many complaints about this.

Same here. DX 12 was a disaster. I had to go to Legacy 11. DX 11 is crashing instant my game, so i can not use that setting. It probably also does not help the system/display settings are changed (and not only because we now have to scroll to see the options, instead of just 1 nice overview).

No performance issues, though I do occasionally get graphical artifacts. Usually after hours of playing though and a restart sorts it out. I just take it as a sign it’s time to take a break, though this started with the patch so I imagine the issue isn’t just on my end.

show me a flat frametime running around in oribos and i believe you.

its better to say you dont know what is a stutter and you dont have a frametime osd to see it than come here say you dont have any problem.

I don’t care if you don’t believe me. You’re some random nobody. OP asked if others experienced the same issues. I don’t. Some other posters apparently do. So your experience isn’t the extent of reality.

show me flat frametime graph in oribus and i believe you.

i bet you dont even have osd with frametime to see anything at all,but some people have frametime osd,and can clearly see the df client has problems with loading other players,objects and even mousing over the spellbook can replicate this stutters easily,meaning even skills tooltip are causing stutters.

just open your spellbook and mouseover skills while you running around and youll see it,everyone has it,but some dont see it.

its called stutters,and its on the client not on peoples pc.

stop saying you dont have it,i tested it with 2 pcs at home and 4 friends and all have the same problems with df client,you are not the last cookie in the pocket brotha,or like,special or something xD

Why are you both at each others throats for this? Its NOT something extremely rare that if a person A experiences a technical problem, while person B does not?
Not every glitch or bug has to be super widespread and everyone experiences it.

how much you wanna bet with me you have it too? like i said,open your skillbook and mouse over your skills while running wround,it can replicate the issue of problem loading players,assets,tooltips.

and your game is gonna stutter when you do that,because its in THE CLIENT.

dont say you dont have it,say you didnt noticed it.

shrug I said my piece. She can go on believing whatever she likes, my initial response was to Insomnia and it remains the same.
