Dalaran doesn't load right
I was wondering if anyone had problems with loading screen with Legion? I run WoW on a good PC (GTX 1070 and i5) and my internet connection is good, but since Legion my loading screens are really long and sometimes I even have to relaunch the game for it to work.
Did someone had this problem and if yes, did you found a solution?
Many people have been reporting this problem since the release of patch 7.1.
It is an issue on Blizzard's side and there isn't really a permanent solution that works for everybody right now, however there are many forum threads with some temporary fixes.
From the megathread about the issue:
Howdy!
Our developers have pushed a hot fix that is aimed to significantly alleviate long load times. Anyone still seeing long load times, we would like you to use the following cvar command:
Step 1) Goto the World of Warcraft tab within the Battle.net Desktop app -> Options -> Show in Explorer -> World of Warcraft -> WTF -> Open the Config.wtf file with notepad add the line: SET worldPreloadNonCritical “0” Save the document.
It's important that you restart the computer before retesting.
Note: Please be aware this command may cause a delay in loading of non critical environment textures and models.
Step 2) While we're hoping to avoid this step, at all costs. Our developers feel pretty strongly that with the hotfix and this command this issue should be greatly improved. At this point if the troubleshooting so far including step 1 has no impact on your load times. We would ask you to do a fresh reinstall of the client by following the steps Here.
Thank you!
