Recently when I log in I cannot see any of my chars for 2- minutes. It is just not there and there is not texture on the ground and there is no map, no bags and no user interface.
Dalaran is especially bad for that and I am so glad to be out of there.
Ya know I have ZX spectrum 48k and some of the more basic games actually take less time to load up than you multi multimillion dollar game. The only difference here is that wow does not have that god awful screach that those tapes make. J::load
Loaded up now and I have lost my place in the queue.
Did you consider that your HDD is damaged/dying? You can run HDD diagnostics by using some tool. Also Fragmentation may be an issue.
I hope not! I will look into that. The stuff above usually happens on a laptop which is understandable. I built this PC just for WoW and no other games. Now you put new anxiety into my head. thanks for the info. that will; keep me busy until its rectified.
Try to run defragmentation and use some tool (i think windows has one inside) which will scan for bad sectors.
Hankhorde - don’t toy with my feelings here, the original ZX Spectrum 48k was fantastic!
Assuming you may have a slightly more modern piece of hardware for the game to run on that potentially even features a supported operating system - the system diagnostic logs should allow to identify which bottlenecks may exist in terms of performance. You can upload them to a service like pastebin if you want us to take a look.
hey, yeah I have more than minimum speccs. I reinstalled windows all day yesterday and WoW as well.
The problem is still there but only in dalaran now.
But now I have new problem that is nothing to do with wow. Some kernel probelm that crashes when I watch videos on social media LOL!
Thanks for replies…
Thanks for the replies.
I’ve had the in game stuttering issue for a very long time, even in Legion, but since back then it was typically around Dalaran, i got used to it and didn’t really care, but these days it’s everywhere, at least for the first 1 or 2 times you zone in, be it in Classic, TBC, Wrath or other zones.
You log in, character is invisible, and if you try to move, the character later appears a distance away in whatever direction you were moving. It’s like the character moves, but visually isn’t registered until only like a minute later.
Installed on a SSD btw.
Regardless, here are the system diagnostic logs, perhaps you can find the culprit -

P.S. On my other PC, a laptop, with similar specs, aside from worse graphics card, there is no such issue, quick logins, no stuttering, so go figure, no doubt there is something interfering with the performance of this PC.
Slow texture loading may be caused by virus, or general overheating as well.
My PC is thoroughly scanned and temperatures are within proper range, mostly around 30 degrees.
Still, it’s only WoW that’s affected, except for Classic, as outside it works smoothly even when playing other games like starcraft 2, all smooth.
I do recall having the same issue with my laptop, though somehow disabling windows startup programs, freeing up disk space and general cleaning completely fixed it, but not on this one sadly.
Im dealing with the same issue from a few weeks and i cannot figure out what is causing it. Game was loading for 4-5 sec but now it goes in the 15s range and after the load bar is done its still loading (textures and models poping, UI elements half loaded.) It was loading like this when i was playing on HDD.
- PC is scanned and there are no virsuses.
- PC temps never go above 50-60C
- SSD checked for errors, CPU is overclocked to 4.7GHz i5 8600k, 16GB DDR4 ram
- Completely removed WTF and Interface folders and its still loading really slow
- Classic is loading extremely quick, even with addons
- My internet is fine too, 80-90mbit down/upload
In a few days im getting a new 1TB SSD, gonna move the game install there. My current SSD is at around 50% full so thats not a problem too. Got Overwatch and BF5 on it and they load pretty quick too.
