Memory usage sometimes randomly and unexpectedly spikes up to unreasonable levels causing the game to crash. I am not even in a high traffic area where the game usually utilizes no more than 6gb (and I have around 4gb more to spare) but this happens frequently while trying to log into the game from the new Favorite characters screen.
This login screen has somehow become more taxing on performance than peak hour Stormwind. I’m not using any addons for the moment because most of them are outdated.
Intel are having unstable crashes…
I9 are most reported…
I7 are uncommon but still reports…
AMD are major crashes, BSOD, Black screen, hardlocks and random restarts…
Performance is otherwise fine, I would even say slightly better compared to yesterday but it makes no sense for the game login screen to be using more memory than it would inside of a crowded city where my FPS tanks by 70% on average. Please optimize.
Log in screen is only a temp measure.
But yeh a tone and I mean tone of people are having performance issues.
Its costing them ALOT of players…
Look at Cata for example how well that runs on old + new systems…
People dont care about visuals at all, people care about how well the game runs…
Look at minecraft, Runescape, FF14, (Startrek Online free but when it was pay) etc… Low visuals = very well optamized and best selling games…
