This has been reported all over US forums, but I wanna bring it to attention here aswell. Since 8.2.5 patch, I have had a small lag of about 1-3 seconds when I turn in quests, complete WQ, or kill a rare. Happens all over the world, it is not on my end, and it is not an addon. My game runs smooth otherwise.
8.2.5 have some issue that needs to be fixed.

Same issue here. Good to know itās not a problem on our end, then. Iāve been wasting time trying to fix it by messing with every possible option.
Same issue here. Happens on bunches of stuff, sometimes when killing mobs, turning in quests, looting, etc.
Same here. I saw people are reporting it on US a lot too. Seems to be some HDD related issue.
have the same problem
Same here and its happening to everyone in my guild as well.
Iām gonna hop into this threat and tell you itās been happening to me aswell, Iāve updated my addons, updated my GPU drivers but the game still freezes whenever I myself turn in a quest, someone in my area (within 5 yards) turns in a quest, or receives an achievement.
To edit my previous unedittable post, seems most of my friends are having this same issue aswell!
Same here, I just started a new Blood Elf and every time I turn in a quest my pc freezes for 1-3 seconds. I hope it gets fixed soon.
Same issues here. Let our voices be heard, even if they donāt care about eu as much as us forums (luckily the same issue is reported on us forums). I get a 1-2 seconds lag when turning in quests. Still havenāt tried wq and rares cause Iām leveling an alt, but I guess it would lag even with wq
Same here. My frame rate drops to 32 for a few secs and goes back to normal.
Same problem here, it began happening only after the patch. I get a very short freeze of like 1-2 seconds upon turning quests in, but aside from that, everything runs smooth as normal.
I donāt know if it can help, but I run WoW on Windows 10 with an Nvidia Gtx1080.
Same issue here, Windows 10, GTX 1080
EU here and same problem, also it happens while we got some phase change while raiding for example Orgoza or Ashvane. 1-3s lag/freeze. Pls Blizzard fix this.
Hi everyone.
So, I had an issue like this and I seem to have worked out a solution that worked for me at least.
I have been playing wow on an external drive since I havenāt gotten around to getting a new one for my computer yet. This has been an issue before, but not to this extent as what we have been experiencing since patch. However, I tried a solution I have used before for combatlogging.
By using the command mklink /J in cmd, I created a junction between my Cache, WTF and GPUCache in my wow installation folder and then I moved those folders from the installation on my external SSD (I had it on E:) to my desktop (stored at C:). After I did that, i deleted the folders from the installation and i didnt create any new ones.
The commands I did in cmd was:
mklink /J āE:\World of Warcraft\ _ retail_\GPUCacheā āC:\Users\Katherine\Desktop\GPUCacheā
mklink /J āE:\World of Warcraft\ _ retail_\Cacheā āC:\Users\Katherine\Desktop\Cacheā
mklink /J āE:\World of Warcraft\ _ retail_\WTFā āC:\Users\Katherine\Desktop\WTFā
This worked for me so it might be worth giving a try, even if you are not playing on an external drive, but especially if you are!
Same issue here and I donāt have any add-ons. Iāll try the ātipā about changing war mode status (which works when my additional action bars go missing or my colour blind filter goes off - just set them to off and then on again).
Same problem for me, disabled all addons and still happening
Same here, tried all kind of suggestions.
