Since 9.0.5 for many players it has been a universal agreement there is an issue with the game. Lots and lots of threads on battle.net US and EU, Reddit, and other websites from a plethora of users indicating almost exclusively the same problem(s). Various solutions and work arounds, Blizzard’s help articles followed and it hasn’t resolved anything for the majority of the players having these problems. Many have tried fruitlessly updating their cards, Windows, ect.
The problems since 9.0.5 include:
-
Random sudden severe FPS drops for 5 to 10 seconds (EG, from 100FPS to 5 or 10FPS) before the game returns to normal. It happens regardless of any zone (even old world) or any dungeon, crowded or non crowded areas.
-
FPS drops in dungeons.
-
FPS drops even in old world zones.
-
FPS drops when opening certain game elements such as professions.
There has been very little feedback from support on these issues from what I can see, yet there are so many threads all over the place that clearly indicate it’s not on a specific user’s computer and only occurred for the majority after the new patch.
Playability of the game is hugely affected if you’re doing higher end content, such as raiding, high end PvP, or high end M+ keys. Imagine getting a sudden FPS drop on the 2nd boss of Spires on a high end Tyrannical key. It’s highly likely to be an instant wipe due to the movement required.
Likewise, on various gameplay elements such as rated PvP or high end raid bosses. It’s just not acceptable to be able to play the game. In world content, sure, it’s annoying but you’re probably not going to be too affected by regular mobs.
Can there please be an acknowledgement of these issues and at least address the QA team so these issues are addressed before or on 9.1.
Kind regards
