Lag spikes/ freezes

feels awful i came so good back to the game, i just bought 4months, + 1token + 1 boost not to mention i bought pre shadowlands before that along with a boost there aswell, in total over 100-200 euro spend and the game was all good latency wise the first week, after the recent update / patch i get 5-15seconds delays every 30-50seconds which makes such as BG & Mythic dungeons unbearable to play especially as a main tank. i hope that we can get a fix for this as it seems that i arent the only but infact we are many and it oddly started after recent patches for many .

the lag is especially during daytime, while at night time it is less laggy but yet still giving spikes, iā€™ve tested my connection and my internet speed and there is nothing to come for, from that part.

i live in +1 gmt denmark so timezones might be different from each invidual hence why they experiencing it at invidual times .

Hi there Xaint, your issue is not related to this, if you could please reach our to our Customer Support on Live Chat we are gathering more information about a connection issue in the Scandinavia region, thank you for doing so if you have the time!

Got micro stutters as well ā€¦ only this night though, the previous nights it was mostly fine.

Got 26/27 ms atm so not the connection itself is bogus though a little higher than usualā€¦

I have the same issue, perfect early hours in the morning, day time and evening lags so much. Only started 3 days.

During yesterdays 4-5 hour play session: 2 lag spikes/freezes.
Today, after playing 10-15 mins: 5 lag spikes/freezes alreadyā€¦

Seriously blizzard, 2 weeks now. Unplayable at nights, right now 6000ms

iā€™m kind of glad to see that iā€™m not the only with this problem & that itā€™s not my internet. i have lag spikes every 30-45min where everyone starts moonwalking & i have to restart. itā€™s awful i literally canā€™t do anything.

New ingame week, new lag spikes and freezesā€¦

Play sessions during monday and tuesdag had zero spikes, today already 2 after 10 mins while opening the chest and picking up weekly quests!

FIX THIS NOW!!! ITS BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS!!!

Yeah same here Lags every like 10-30 mins freezes for like 5 secs

And here too. Yesterday I was playing fine and now I get frequent lagspikes, especially during pvp battles. This is what really makes me thinking about unsubscribe.

same always lag since wedzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Same issue for me since patch (and without add-ons)ā€¦ Does Blizzard not do any performance load/stress test of their product before shipping?

what helpen me was going to settings in game and then advanced. And change the directx 11 to direct x legacy

I did this and it seemed to help.

so im thinking i kinda have same issue, just not as bad, so recently i was wanting to move my game to my SSD from my HDD drive, long story short it went wrong and i did a full re-install, since a full re-install with exactly same addons (all up to date) .

Now when i play in raids and i go to engage a mob pack or a boss, i get momentary freezes or glitches, only around 1 second ling but long enough to know whether ur lost aggro on a boss as the main tank, it wasnt doing this prior to me re-installing 4 days ago, everything was running smooth, it doesnt do it in normal dungeons or bgs which is also heavy populated only in raid dungeons like ONY/BWl and MC.

I also started to get this problem when i changed the game folder from my HDD to my SSD. As people have mentioned previously setting the graphics API to DirectX 11 legacy removes the freezes but at a huge loss of FPS

I solved this issue using Trubleshoot compatibility option that appears when you right click on the game icon (wow) and runing it. on the next step I chose recomended solution and clicked on the ā€˜testā€™ application and after that while using application as testing, I had no problem anymore. I re-installed battlenet app before this by the way.

Im sad to report that the solution with DX11 legacy 100% worksā€¦ But its may 2020
Blue plz on fix?

I am once again experiencing this lag, same as yesterday, same as the day before and the day before that (so on).

Please can this issue be escalated? Itā€™s clearly affecting a large number of people and has been so for a while. Cases are rising, not reducing. This is a huge problem and needs to be addressed, it cannot be ignored any longer

Honestly I donā€™t know what else I can do here, Iā€™m completely at the mercy of Blizzard.
