Annoying 1-3 sec freezes on a new machine

Hello guys,

I recently started enjoying my warrior again but apparently something is off as I am getting regular 1-3 sec lag spikes that really cost me games in SoloQ sometimes. It is awfuly annoying as my computer is rather strong (I know game’s old and optimized for different machines but still). Here are my specs:

Intel Core i7-8750H
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
16GB DDR4
1TB SSD NVMe + 2TB HDD

V sync is off. I did the Large Adress Aware thing, maybe a slight improvement but still ongoing the issue. Game is playable but I’m the kind of player that is looking for every edge available. And this is a handicap. I know this is 100% solvable so please if you know any fixes, help me.

Thanks a lot guys!

Does it happen only when you move the mouse fast? try to stand in place and move your mouse like crazy, if so disable hardware mouse input in settings.

Tried it, still got freezes. I just lost a match where we were left 2v3 and almost won but got frequent freezes and couldn't finish them off twice, someone please help because I feel like murdering a newborn kitten.

It also mostly happens in arena I think.

Freezes or lag spikes?

With one of my characters, the client freezes for 1-3 seconds from time to time, especially when enemies are in low health. I am yet to find a reason.

I never had this kind of problem on any of the computer. Did you try to disable vsync or try to play at windowed mode + maximized?

Tried with all addons disabled, Vsync off, windowed+maximized mode = the issue persists. Only thing I have not tried is new client. I will be sad If I have to say Goodbye to WoD models as I have played on all kinds of **** machines with them with no issues so far. I even play on my new ryzen PC with no problems ….

Freezes. I literally wait 1-3 seconds to see what happened afterwards

It's quite possible it's caused by newer models.
Do try downloading the classic one like skullatbash said and see if that fixes it.
You could also try using other models (from some other post/guide) after you check whether the classic launcher works well. These work fine for me: http://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=433477 with no FPS drops.

1070 and i7 8750h is old , ofc its enough for wow from 2009 :D but dont lie to yourself, you have old hardware

do you have same issues on other games? if yes, then check your settings in bios

I played this game on intel hd 2000 and intel b820 with wod models without many problems... He 100% has a corrupted modified wow and should either take the old client or some other models.
