Wow addon all the things lag spikes7/31/2023 ![]() It used to be a lightweight meters, now it’s bloated with features, so fixing even small errors is annoying with it. You think it may be Details! addon – and I’d be inclined to agree. If people are running in place, then it’s a connectivity issue (likely server lag under extreme load, or a critical error that hasn’t resolved yet, or a simple client disconnect). I recommend downloading these addons just to display the bugs that I’m 99% sure are occurring.įrame drops are CPU issues. The most heinous being local foo = aura_env unthrottled, which will obliterate your FPS. ![]() ![]() If you use a bunch of different WeakAuras, a lot of poorly designed WAs will update to update every frame without a throttle. If you’re getting 8-20 FPS in a raid environment, that tells me you’re getting spammed with a huge number of errors or someone, as a programmer, hasn’t learned about throttling yet. My newer work focuses on optimizations and it’s wildly improved over the years. I would suggest experimenting by leaving WeakAuras enabled, but disabling all auras and then re-enabling them one by one until you find the one that’s causing problems. I’ve made hundreds of WAs, and many of my old stuff is a CPU nightmare. They’re Lua code just like addons are and can create lag just like addons do. You should run an addon that does performance profiling or an addon that aggregates bugs/errors. Has anyone been experiencing extreme lag lately? I’ll be in Valdrakken and I’ll be running around 60 fps then I go to a raid or dungeon and I’m dropped down to 8-20 steadily.
