Hello.

I have a problem with frame drops in classic.When I run occasionally get frame drop. it only happens on certain parts of the map. I can just run back and forth and frame spike, in one place t all is okey and again few moments later on map again frame spike… On retail everything runs fine… I try everything, new drivers,disable addons. fullscreen,windowed,vsync on/off

That might be related to CPU usage in the task manager. Have you checked the processes you’re running while playing the game?

i would recommend to also switch to per core view not combined utilization view on task manager in case its only one core causing trouble and activate "show kernel times "?

frame spike still only on one core. :frowning:

mhhh seems fine to me that image to be honest

kernal times are maybe a bit high … but thats it

if you look at my pc … it also only uses 1 core that i marked and i use 100% cpu and no issues here … so not sure what could cause your issue … but i am not to sure its your cpu … thats for sure even though your kernal times are a bit high but that should be fine

edit : nope i am at a loss here … there should be no game spikes from the image you send me … the only spike i can see was a gpu spike where it shoot to 100% … play the game and if you have a second screen check if the gpu spikes happen when you get lag spikes in game … Cpu seems 100% fine to me

here is something i remember though … try setting windows power management to high performance … maybe that helps

  1. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type in the following text, and then press Enter.powercfg.cpl
  3. In the Power Options window, under Select a power plan, choose High Performance.If you do not see the High Performance option, click the down arrow next to Show additional plans.On Windows XP: In the Power Options Properties dialog box, under Power Schemes tab, choose the power scheme as Always On.If available, change the System standby and System hibernates settings to Never.
  4. Click Save changes or click OK.

most windowses come ether set in power saving or balanced mode …

you might have to enable performance mode and google how to do that …

But that might help if the cpu lags a bit behind changing frequencies … i had odd windows window lag because of that

Thanks for reply, i have already high performace…
Dunno why retail is ok and classic not

use this … thats the only idea i have left … this can record all performance data and make it viewable to see if something comes up there … beside that i have no idea really …

All games run fine, wow retail too… Maybe in classic when i move in certain part of the map, frame drops when client try to load another part of the map… dunno

10

No idea … the only spike i did see was the GPU spike … but the question is if that matches with your ingame spikes. The cpu seems fine … the only way to find out is sort of do a full performance record and write down when around you had lag spikes at least at what time.

yeah, i think it is GPU… i will try full performance record… all games are ok… on classic have this issue…

i have only frame drops open world. in dungeons all is ok…
