Delay when changing zones

You are running a gps for every NPC, mob and player at all times - you machine is receiving their position and any actions they are performing in ‘real time’ and rendering it in front of you

Any list or delayed data will display as a glitch and when you are rendering at max texture and draw distance in a ‘busy area’ this will create mid-matches between where you Machine and Blizz think something is and where your GPU has drawn it

You’re misinterpreting what was referred to as a ‘glitch’ to what the symptoms are in this case.
The ‘glitch’ you’re talking about is less smooth, while the zone layer is basically swapping places on the server’s allocated resources from one to another which has its own built-in delay as a consequence.

So you get the controlled setting rubberband effect, because the server temporarily stops sending you such information in those circumstances.

Also, that talk about the GPS coordinates, is affected by network effects and settings as well. Which is why the last sent information your machine received shows them doing the running man, which is then followed by the rubberband effect because the server starts sending the information again.

And yeah, due to the priority settings in the data flow which was changed on retail to accomodate for CRZ and everything else that followed, it means that most likely the larger servers suffers more visibly from this.
Since it is, as mentioned, related to the server’s capability to process the information as well as how it prioritizes certain things over others for a more stable “illusion” that it’s in real time.

I can accept that there will be a delay switching between servers but still disagree that that is the whole story

I have experienced huge ‘lag’ in retail on a world boss whilst other players have not - indeed - i have been seeing 1 frame every couple of seconds whilst they have been happily fighting the boss

If everybody was suffering all of the time I would agree this issue was with Blizz

But that isn’t the case

Humour me - lower your graphic settings and see what happens

FPS drops are hardware-related. Not the same as network effects.

Thanks to the two people that actually came in and confirmed this

Have you tried to disable all addons?
The Monolith DKP addon recently had an issue where changing zones caused delay/freeze.

UI throttling on the client side causes a delay in command input as well, and that is not what occurs. So no, it isn’t the addons.
