World of warcraft problem

[Adwarehater]

i have played wow (world of warcraft) for 3 weeks now on daggerspine server and i have never had any graphic problems on this server. the gameplay gets choppy in certain areas (in towns and citys for example, but in many other places) and it wont load some buildings. this problem also occurs in any other server. this problem cant be lag because i never get disconnected while those problems occur.

if you give us some of your system specifications, it will help a lot.

Update video card drivers aswell.

its more than likely a hardware based problem, even at 1gb memory and a decent setup you'll get choppy FPS in major cities.

Just curious what kind of graphics card do you use?

Town's and City's have the most players and most graphic in the game. its possible for the fact your computer can't handle it and come out all choppy

[IronAces]

i would say that its just a hardware issue, your hardware performance fits the bill considering you're getting lower performance.

When you're in WoW press Ctrl + R (i think) to view your FPS, i would bet money on it that it drops considerabley when you walk into Orgrimmar or Ironforge.

[Adwarehater]

you are right. it falls instantly on 20 or something and then falls to somewhere near 0. but the game does the same thing when i watch directly almost in any place. When i watch down the fps is 55-60.

[IronAces]

thats because you have more to render when you look up

[Adwarehater]

anyone knows how i can fix that problem
