Mounts Stutter when turning

Since the Midnight patch my mounts all seem to stutter when turning during dragonriding.

On top of glitched models for a few mounts (Stormcrow, for example). Seemingly flickering during higher speed turns.

Yup got the same problem. I even posted similar thread on wow forum because of that. Also asked same question on few in-game realms and no one had the same issue, but I already saw at least 2 different posts about this problem so definitely something messed up on the last update

Thank you for you reply. Sadly it seems to be a rare problem. But I hope they fix it.

Okay, I found an oddity with this. If I use my mouse to steer, it stutters. If I use A D to steer it doesn’t.

Feels slower as well as if the speed you gain instantly discharges giving you no boost at all.

I can confirm. It happens only when stearing using a mouse.

It’s getting ridiculous. Whole game stutter since pre patch. As if that wasn’t enough.

The tips of druid crow based flying forms’ wings have been flickering while gliding for quite some time now.

So have the all the mount previews in the mount journal.

I also noticed that. I tried to speed up to test, but it felt like moving through peanut butter.

The mount flicker (Stormcrow) has been there since pre-patch, I believe. It also affects a few other mounts.

The general flicker or just insane animation skipping while doing jerk-movements was present on many transparent mounts for the most of the expansion.

Echeroo moose for example, it was just as bad if not worse than what is happening to the mount journal screen now. It would flicker, skip animations and it would extend to the rider model.

Weirdly it was more pronounced on specific races such as undead, belf or zandalari but there were also some player buffs and auras which would could trigger full disco mode of phasing in and out of existence even while standing still, such as the haste buff from Moonkins.

I’ve noticed something weird with the void and gold delve mount skins post preparation patch. They have some sort of a glow effect, as if a liquid is spilling over the mount from one side to another and then gets hits by a sun ray. It causes not only noticeable drops in FPS but flickers as well for a brief moment.

I suggest to move this thread to “Customer Support” as it’s not technical issue and will get more attention since people do not visit tech forum often.

I also reported it the day it happened.

Really hope this wont just stick around, because so few people seem to have the issue.

Everyone have it. It’s just not that much noticable, so people not complain. Asked some friends and all of them got that bug. Seen that on Twitch as well.

Oh and made post on Reddit. Got there few confirmations also.

“We are aware of the issue that the animation of characters as not as smooth as it should be and our developers working on it at the moment and currently this is happening due to the high spike in volume of players on the servers right now.”

Thats the reply I got from the GM that answered my ticket.
