My Guild members and I have noticed a loading error. We are in a Guild with multiple people. Every time a location loads, the whole game freezes for a few dozen seconds, and there is nothing we can do about it. This happens every time a location loads, even after relogging. We discovered that the Guild causes this issue, as players without a Guild or with a small Guild don’t experience this error.
We have tried several options—reducing the number of players, disabling all Addons, and fixing and reinstalling WoW—but nothing helps. We believe the issue is indeed related to the Guild, and we can’t afford to reduce the number of players further.
Another problem we encountered after the prepatch is the constant fulfillment of long-ago achievements. Again, nothing works. It’s really frustrating because we have so many players in our Guild, and whenever it’s least convenient, all the achievements spam our screen. This doesn’t even include the issue of the game stuttering.
We understand that after the prepatch, it might not be easy to keep track of everything. However, we hope you try to fix it, and it doesn’t take half a season like last time when S3 achievements first got bugged. It’s a significant problem for us and quite limiting. Thank you very much in advance from my entire Guild and other WoW players who are experiencing this problem.
Can confirm the posters words. This issue is real problem and makes more than one person consider staying in a guild.
No usual “fixes” on client side works (as said, turning off addons, clearing cache, reinstalling, having game installed on SSD etc. - all does nothing in this case). Only characters that are part of the guild share in this issue, characters outside of guild are fine.
I was looking forward to enjoy prepatch but having to wait 10 - 40 seconds after every port and convincing windows that APP indeed IS running and does not need to be closed is something i would not expect from Blizzard to be an issue for more than couple of hours.
Huge issue for larger guilds. It takes everytime more than a few minutes to get over loading screen, every single time. This makes the game completely unplayable for most of us, so instead of preparing for new TWW, people begin to struggle about why to even stay when the experience is so bad and began to play other games.
Any mod or dev can take a closer look at this please? Maybe escalate it to someone who can actualy help. It begins to be a very big problem which is tearing big guilds apart!!!
Since now to my knowledge there is more than few THOUSANDS players who got affected by this major bug.
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report several critical issues I have encountered following the recent prepatch (TWW) in World of Warcraft.
Since the update, I have experienced significant game freezing whenever I use teleports. These freezes make the game unplayable and disrupt the overall gaming experience. Here are the specific details of the issues:
Game Freezing Post-Teleport:
Description: The game consistently freezes after using any form of teleportation (e.g., hearthstones, portals, mage teleports, etc.).
Frequency: Every time a teleport is used.
Duration: The game remains frozen indefinitely, requiring a manual restart.
Impact: This issue renders the teleport feature unusable and severely impacts gameplay, particularly for quests and raids that necessitate frequent teleportation.
Performance Drops:
Description: Significant drops in frame rate and overall performance have been observed since the prepatch.
Frequency: Occurs sporadically during various activities, not limited to high-stress environments.
Impact: Causes lag and delays in character actions, affecting combat and exploration.
Graphical Glitches:
Description: Various graphical glitches, including texture popping and missing assets, have become more prevalent.
Frequency: Intermittent but frequent enough to disrupt immersion.
Impact: Affects the visual quality and overall aesthetic experience of the game.
These issues have been confirmed by multiple players within the community, indicating that this is not an isolated incident. I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps with no resolution:
Updating graphics drivers
Running the game with minimal addons
Repairing the game client via Battle.net
Lowering in-game graphics settings
I kindly request that the development team investigates these issues and provides a hotfix or patch to address them. Additionally, any temporary solutions or workarounds that can be provided in the interim would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution to these bugs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience for all players.
Same issue here, 1k member guild. The game will freeze on login / instance zone in. Leaving the guild will fix it
Other issues are some guild achievements - the reputation and pvp slayer achievements ( gnome slayer, diplomacy etc.) that will repop constantly. Might possibly be when another faction logs in.
I also had to leave the guild. After leaving, everything is fine, loadings are almost instant. When I’m in the guild, the game loads on the player’s character and then freezes for about 1 minute. I had to apologize to the guild master and leave the guild with the understanding that he will accept me later. I hope there is a quick fix for this. Have a nice day Blizzard <3
Thank You!
At least I’ll know that the problem is not on my side.
I noticed that sometimes, for my two characters with this problem, the guild button in the micromenu stops being active, turns red, and when you hover over it, the text “guild and communities are currently inactive for you” appears.
Of all my active characters (4), only two suffered from these problems. All my characters use the same settings and profiles. Among them, two characters are of the same class and spec, but they are in two separate guilds. One of them has this problem and the other one doesn’t.
None of the standard or non-standard solutions worked for me. Except for these two characters leaving large guilds (more than 800 people).
Both characters stopped experiencing this problem. I’ll be without a guild for now
Hey everyone. Our guild found a fix for the big guild freeze. https://imgur.com/a/7sUZF4Z
Video of me testing the 3 options:
No Guild.
In guild with the settings on.
In guild without settings on.
Fix: disable all news filters on guilds and communities under the info tab
Picture of the setting: https://i.imgur.com/QHfBHW7.png
Settings have to be removed on every character
Still a slight small delay compared to no guild but a temporary fix atleast
