FPS problem in the first boss of Halls of Infusion needs to be fixed, or given priority at least. I normally game on a GTX1660 and R5 3600 with 16 gbs of RAM and my computer drops to as low as 20 fps during the fight. Now I have to game on an old laptop for a few days with i5 7th or 8th gen CPU and a 1050M with 8 gbs of RAM and after the first boss, during which I didn’t have frames per second, I had seconds per frame, the FPS didn’t even recover until the end.
I understand that it may be hard to run the game on some areas like during the Zaqali Elders fight or during a thrash pull on Aberrus but this, imo, is unacceptable.
Generally the FPS drops during combat are caused by spell density. I had a very similar problem on Mac Mini M2 here and in Halls of Valor, left boss. You’ll still drop FPS, but it might be a lot better.
Besides, lower density makes the individual effects easier to see now.
Maybe it dropped for a moment. But its frustrating as ahell when you are playing on a Mid range PC as most of us do. And on higher keys its equally frustrating when you miss certain mechanics that could result in deaths or wipe.
I’m having FPS issues in Brackenhide, on the trash after the first boss on the way to the tree boss. My FPS drops to about 30 in that one particular spot, and my spell density is turned down to Some. I have an i7-8700k and an RTX2080, 32GB of RAM. Turning the spell density all the way down doesn’t really help me unfortunately, and it’s weird that it’s not class specific as originally this happened on my Balance Druid so I assumed the Starfall happening on many targets was the issue, but this happens on my Holy Priest as well which doesn’t really have many flashy effects. It really seems to be the dungeon itself in that particular spot being the issue.
Hope spell density helps you! If not, try turning down Particle Density, that didn’t help me but it might help you.
Are you running weakauras or elvui or anything that does heavy aura filtering? I used to get heavy FPS drops every now and then due to how I had set up my aura filtering on my holy priest back in SL, I eventually figured out it was caused by that.
You could try using the /etrace command to try to spot if it’s caused by something like that.
I don’t have WeakAuras at all, I don’t use the addon. I do use ElvUI but only its nameplates and party unit frames, but the only filtering done on my Holy Priest is to hide non-personal buffs/debuffs on the enemies and allies. I’ll try disabling ElvUI completely, although that would make healing very annoying due to me being blind and not seeing which of my allies has what between Renew and Prayer of Mending etc. As for other add-ons I don’t have many, only add-ons I use are AutoKeystone, ElvUI, HideTalkingHead, Mission Report Button Plus and Details (which has its update interval maxed out since it’s hidden in combat, so that’s not the issue).
Probably right was just in a crappy mood earlier. I completely understand now that I think about it was having issues for a while till I upgraded my ram and it was fustrating as hell
Everything is lowest possible in graphics settings and only spell indicators are on. When the first boss on HoI casts the swirlies, regardless of how well the computer does/did before that, FPS tanks. I really think the issue lies on that boss specifically because on my normal pc, I don’t see any FPS drops apart from that boss and that attack.
I have FPS issues on this same boss so it might not just be you. Have no issues anywhere else, not running too many addons, (I have Weakauras but just general ones, nothing specific for the dungeon/this boss) but my FPS always goes down when the electric puddles go out - seems ok for the rest of the fight.
I have some FPS drops in halls as well. It’s probably one of the CPU cores being maxed out by unoptimized events firing. That’s usually the cause.
Nothing you can do about it on your side, blizz will either fix it or not.
