FPS Issues .765 Still

Ok followed:

Hi, all,

There are two known sources of FPS problems at this time.

First, you have directly or indirectly disabled the Windows Desktop Compositing capabilities. This post should help you get it straightened out.

The second cause is a mis-behaving Buddy Store product. This post explains the problem, and how to isolate it. If you chase your problem to a particular product, please let us know which one so we can analyze what they are doing wrong, and see if we can put preventative measures in place for the future.

If neither of these resolves your issue, please open a new thread in the Support forum, and be certain to attach your full log that captures the event.

Still having the issue. Was able to work around manually this morning by running the console command [StyxWoW.Overlay.Dispatcher.InvokeShutdown();] and then going into Task Manager and manually killing the WowBrowserProxy. Not to make things more of a conundrum, but only had to do this on the first session of wow I started. I also had to do NONE of it last night when I got back from a weeks travel and fired up bot to run for nearly half the night x2 sessions. Please find latest log attached with ALL streaming off except Kick's Profiles. This is the log that I ended up performing said actions, then stopping after it performed well. I set logging level to Verbose, hoping it would help.

On the Desktop Composition, it's not manually disabled under the wow.exe compatibility and I don't (can't find it on the list) have a check box for it under visual effects. I did not attempt to go after it via other routes, there is one, but since there was no option for it under visual effects, and all options were enabled with let the computer decide what it wants checked. I also changed themes this morning from a custom one, back to default one.

Feed me Seymour!

Please let me know if I missed something else on my end to perform due diligence for you.

Can you please open the developer tools, go to the console tab and enter the following line in the console:

StyxWoW.Overlay.Dispatcher.InvokeShutdown();

Then press the Run button.

Hi Lttlmantate1,

Thank you for the log and thorough information.

Another place to look for 'Desktop Compositing' in Windows 7, is be certain you are using the "Aero" interface on the desktop. A 'classic' interface choice will disable Desktop Compositing.

If you've ruled out Desktop Compositing as the issue, please provide us with some information:

Right-click on "My Computer"
→ Properties
→ Show us the complete line for the "Processor:" description​

If you've ruled out the "Desktop Compositing" issue or a product from the Buddy Store, then it appears the problem is not Honorbuddy, but directly related to the WoWclient. And the number of cores you have available causes the issue. Here is a couple threads that discuss this in more detail:

• Very large thread on the Bliz forum about FPS drops in battle
  The thread makes clear that it doesn't matter how 'big' your graphics capabilities are, if you have a CPU with only 2 cores (e.g., i3, and some i5) you will be affected (A core supports two hyper-threads. People frequently get cores and hyper-threads confused, and that's why we ask to be shown the full processor description, so we are all on the same page in what we're talking about.)
  Honorbuddy might be be the 'other app' that will cause the WoWclient to misbehave, because the WoWclient is not getting to use all the threads it wants on limited-core CPUs.
  
  
• Thread on Tom's Hardware discussing problem is related to number of CPU cores available

It has been suggested that the problem can be somewhat abated by increasing the priority of the WoWclient to "High".
