Can we get a Blue post on the Lag/Delay in open world and instances please?

Edit: The interaction/loot/spell/movement lag and the general 1-3 sec lagspikes are really intensifying atm. Up untill today it was only when completing quests, but it seems like it getting worse by the hour.
I get lagspike/freeze when I mount, interact with Npc, loot, Press M, engage in combat, or simply open spellbook/Character interface.
In the middle of combat the sound and spell visual just vanish, when the mob is dead I have to wait for sound/visuals to catch up before I can loot :rofl: Sometimes wow freezes mid-combat. Strafe makes it Freeze, and so can jumping while turning.

This is the same for Openworld, Dungeons and PvP now. I really do hope that it is looked into with somewhat of a hurry. In the meantime I :crossed_fingers:t4: for that it wont spread to M+ and Raids.

Now Minimap and Map in general is also bugged!

Am I the only one who experiences this?
I know they said that they would look into it when people started to have lagspikes when ever they handed in quests, but it’s like it have gotten worse especially in instances.
In dungeons its worst when I tank. It’s both lagspikes and spell delay, to a degree that I just try to press my rotation and hope that things are down once the delay is over :rofl: . The spells catches up in a second thereafter, firing all of them at once - it looks cool and all, but it is really annoying. And then these “spikes” where everything freezes for 1 -3 seconds. It’s hard to play the dungeon properly :frowning:

I get the same lagspikes in Battlegrounds.

Last time we had something like this, was when they changed the brackets, and when TW was introduced with scaling. I guess the Synk maybe has a role to play in this?

As for my part, I have rebooted both Pc and Router noumerous of times, I have run repair of the game, Looked through my few Addons, cleared WTF and Cache… nothing helps.

I haven’t had any issue aside of BG’s and hand-in’s till today.
I figured I would go run some TW for getting the last badges for the mount. But it was litterally unplayable as tank :rofl:

Haven’t seen it happening for years. Thought my charger wasn’t plugged in correctly or there was something downloading in the background at first x.x

Yeah lets hope it won’t spread to raids :scream: or M+ for that matter :stuck_out_tongue: I really hope that it will at least be gone at reset

Im having spikes sometime when i kill elites or deliver a quest. It was since the release of 8.2.5

yeah same for me. Just today It got worse and extended to dungeons with a LOT of spikes and massive spelldelay :frowning:

Edit: Ok now I have the same in the open world as I experienced this morning in the dungeon, and on a very different char

Bumping this up, it’s getting beyond annoying!

Bumping aswell

I’ve been experiencing this as well. Even when I complete a word quest in Nazjatar I get a 3 or 4 second spike, which is new as of 8.2.5.

I have disabled all my addons, And now even the Quest UI and Loot UI buggs as well.
I almost smell a global crash inc :flushed:

This fix may possibly work…

Thank you Shammoz for this! But how exactly do I do this?

Can anybody help me with this in Danish :sweat_smile: I found the Hotfix.log in the Retail/logs folder, But I am unsure what to do from there :woozy_face:

Been a drag all morning to be honest. One other thing that I noticed is that since they luanched Classic the mob spawns in the real game and not classic for levelling have slowed to a standstill. The other day me and a warlock were just sitting there for ages and ages and ages. And it was the same all day long. I started to think I may have been disconnected.

My guess is they are sharing resources with Classic and feeding off the real game to avoid drag. Dunno but for me its been a problem since they launched Classic. The real game getting slower, spawns very low. And when I log now it takes like an age for everything to appear. Its never really been like this. I feel like I’m trudging thro treacle all the time. Also LFG has been refusing to activate and chat has stopped working at times. I type in and nothing and getting nothing. Then it does catchy up. Some odd things going on.

If i am reading what that other player suggested correctly…

With the game CLOSED.
Locate the Hotfix.Log file
Right click it and choose “Properties”
Tick the box “Read Only” and Apply.

Relaunch and see if it improves. Let me know if you can so I can update the other threads on this :slight_smile:

Ty Shammoz I shall try that because recently I have been experiencing the same issues as people above me have said mostly WQ and minimap load times and the sound gets missing from NPCs sometimes.

Thank you! I am running on Danish Client (I am Beckie too) And I don’t have an “read only” option. I’m afraid that I mess things up if i just randomly try something out :rofl:
