Long loading times of character models/doodads/textures in certain zones

[Yorda-aszune]

Hello, I have the following issue:
Every single time I go to Dalaran and Orgrimmar, my character loads as invisible, I can’t move and it takes about a whole minute for other player characters, textures, doodads to load. ( shorter time in Orgrimmar )
Mounting in this state allows me to “move” and when I dismount I’m instantly located where I’m shown on the map. Is there any solution to this problem?

Hi Smackaroon,

I had this problem. Do you use a SSD or HDD?

I have a SSD for games only. When i had this problem, i would get all the things you were getting. When I checked the fragmentation of my SSD it was at 11%. Fragmenting, which is not advised for SSDs did not solve it.

I wiped my game SSD drive, done a full reformat (not quick reformat.) Re-downloaded WoW to the SSD and all is back to loading almost instantly.
