Laggy and stuck in loading screens

Ever since last wednesday when the new update came out my game has been really weird. every single time I use portals or heartstones I get stuck in the loading screen and have to wait until I DC or restart the game.

When I fly to a new zone the same thing happens as if I lost internet connection and I cant use any spells, dismount or even see any players or NPCs and again I have to restart the game

Yes all my addons are updated

Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Portaling to the emerald dream takes me 5 seconds on a low budget SSD. Make sure your disk isn’t completely full.

You can also check windows’ performance tab in ctrl+shift+escape during a portal to see what’s bottlenecked.

For me the disk only goes up to 25% usage while my CPU is maxed out during a hearthstone, but the whole thing only takes a few seconds.

Might also want to try the troubleshooting here:

I’ve had the same issue since the new patch came out, but then again, I was also without internet a week before that, so just chalked it up to me having IP issues.

Having to repeatedly alt + F4, only to come back kicked from the group, finding bosses in world events dead, making leveling way more difficult between loading screens and many other things that makes playing the game aggravating…
