I just added a 3rd account and the game runs real smooth except after hearthing/zoning. I get real bad unplayable FPS drop to about 5. The only remedy so far is to log out of one account and the game run instantly smooth. I log back in and fine again with 3 till I zone again.
Any ideas?
more details. specs, setting, addons, ect?Quote:

I'd say typical addons, nothing crazy.
Really strange that it doesnt go away or clear up until you relog. if you havent yet, try with all addons disabled and see if it reoccurs. Your pc specs arent the problem.
What happens if you /reload ?
So I think I've figure it out. It only happens when I have 3 or more loading screens at the same time. When I do this, it does take a lot longer to load. So what I have to do is hearth with 1 character, let that one completely load, then I can hearth with the other 2.
It's almost like that amount of loading at one time bottle necks and can't catch up. I do have an SSD. At the time it was one of the better ones, but it has been almost 5 years. Samsung something 850 evo if I remember right.
try typing this into all characters chat then /reload and then hearth normally.
/console worldPreloadNonCritical 0
There's something else going on though, you should be able to hearth 10 characters at once on that system easily.

So you're saying I've reached the limits of my CPU?Quote:

i am nowhere near as knowledgeable as WOWBOX40 about specs though, so if you don't want to change your settings, then i'd ask him what you need to do.
So I turned my setting down to 7 and the game runs pretty flawlessly. There are very rare moments of similar wierd lag, but more than managable. Seems like I may have reached the limitations of my CPU. I've been putting it off as long as I could, but looks like it maybe time to upgrade. Thanks for the help.
Update
When I made this post, I wasn't using ISboxer. I was just opening 3 accounts and Alt+Tabn full screen on 4k max every setting possible. That worked fine with 2 accounts, but 3 made Tabn clunky. I DLed ISboxer and left all settings default going through the wizard. Now this might be a no brainer to most of you, but my game runs much smoother with ISboxer. Aside from the obvious game play comforts of ISboxer, I was able to turn my settings back to max, game runs flawlessly, and my load times are back to normal.
