World of Warcraft - Mause Clicking causes Stuttering / Frame Drop

[Songano]

Edit: I found out that it has something to do with the disappearing Cursor. When im walking and moving the camera around i need to hold the left / right button and in this case the cursor disappears. As soon as i release the left or right mouse button, the cursor comes back and causes the framedrop, which causes micro-stuttering. Whats causing this?

Hey there,

first time posting here

Got my MacStudio yesterday for work and found out that i can play my beloved WoW on it
It runs pretty good at locked 60FPS VSYNC on and looks great.

But i got one major Problem...when clicking the left/right mousebutton my FPS drops from 60 to 57-58. So it causes major Stuttering, which is SUPER annoying. And in Oribos the screen flickers black when clicking the mousebuttons.

I had the mouse (Logitech G502) plugged in via USB cable and via a BT Dongle, but that did not change anyhting.

Anyone having the same issues? Any tipps?

Yep. Same problem here. M1 Max 16 MBP. Started with the late October update. I’ve reported a bug with Blizzard. Haven’t found a fix. My friend with a 16 MBP M1 Max same problem. We both play WoW classic. Wotlk.

Interesting. I play Classic/WOTLK and it's fine... but I'm on Intel. Is this maybe an Arm-specific issue?

I play it on an M2 MBA, no issues for me.

On internal display? Everyone I know with the problem is using an external display.

Glad, im not the only one having this Issue: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/mac-os-ventura-m1-flickering-bug/1377995/3

The Problem mentioned did not occur under Monterey, right? Im thinking about a Downgrade...

External display. Actually just logged in about an hour ago to see if the new Dragon Isles update was running ok and tried to replicate but working fine. The cursor does not disappear. No UI flicker.

I am now getting the cursor issue. On Windows also.

Hey there, don't know if this is still a thing for you. I hade similar issues, i had massive fps drops when clicking any mouse button in Retail. (But I'm playing on windows 10..) Turned out to be the addon PetTracker. I started by deactivating every addon to see if any addon might be the problem. And then tested out step by step. (firstyl I disabled to load old addons, was more effective, then step by step)

Can confirm, Pet tracker caused this issue for me.

Can someone confirm that the external display - click - fps drop - issue has been fixed with macOS 14.4?

That's the reason why I am still on Monterey.

After installing macOS Sonoma 14.3 official release, I noticed that my mouse cursor is jittering like crazy when dragging windows around. Windows themselves seem to drag mostly smoothly, yet at times the windows also jitter. This is really annoying and was totally fine back in 14.2. Now the...

The Battle.net client runs just fine on MacOS.
