IS causing poor framerate in WoW?

[JoeTest]

Im not sure whats going on, but it looks like IS is causing framerate to tank in World of Warcraft. And before anyone jumps on my back, this happens when I launch WoW with IS, without me turning on any isx extensions/mods.

If I launch the game normally, without IS, framerate is fine.

If I launch the game through IS, it begins to go downhill. I can then tab out, and back in and it clears it up for a minute or so, then it gets progressively worse and worse. This didn't happen with the ISXDK v27 build, but I updated today to v28. I am currently running Build 3788.

Thanks,

ISXDK 27 and 28 only have to do with extensions, it's useless to use that as an indicator of when you did or did not have a non-extension-related problem. Instead, just say version 1.04, and 1.05, or the build numbers.

How can I reproduce this issue? What kind of time period are we talking? Do I have to sit around in WoW for 3 hours or am I going to notice this immediately? (note: logged in right now, I dont see anything out of the ordinary) Are there other symptoms, like the process memory usage continually increasing and using all of your RAM?

I tried to provide as much information with versioning as I could.

As for repro:
It takes about 3-5 minutes to see it happen. I will see if the process appears to have some sort of leak as you have requested.

IS maintains its footprint of 9708k. WoW is the only memory pig on my list.

I'm actually asking about WoW, not InnerSpace.exe, unless InnerSpace.exe is using CPU time and that's what's causing the problem...

I am getting slower frame rates in EQ2 also. It seems the problem is related to the new memory HUD? When I turn it off using ctrl-alt-m my frame rate at log in screen toggles from 20/30. When in game toggling the memory hud the FPS change is 15/20.

I have also sent in two crash logs from this particular system since 1.05. I am unable to reproduce the FPS issue on my other systems and they are running 1.05 without issue.

My problem seems related to the ATI Tray Tools from guru3d.com and the memory hud. I get the FPS drop if both are running but never when just 1 is. Can anyone else confirm?

[JoeTest]

So I updated the other machine I play on to 1.05 and everything works fine. Im going to uninstall and reinstall IS on the machine I was having problems on.

I will report back if this fixes the problem. As well as the info on WoW's memory usage.

[JoeTest]

After reinstalling, everything works fine.

I think that framerate lose was wow if you were using it in wow.


Not that seemed to have fixed a real bad UI memory iusse.

Were if you loging at defualts your ui MEMORY would shot up fast.

Now with 94 addons it doesnot go beyond whati have it set at and the GC is very slow . I love the way wow is using MY ui memory now .

better then it ever did.

I ment to say

Now it seems they have fix a real bad memroy iusse with the way the UI was handling memory . I use this is a marco in game .


/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Current memory usage: "..gcinfo())


to check my memory in the UI . I don't like using any other stuff to check my UI memory .


if it goes up to fast at random clicks i no there is something wrong.


If that helps anyone.
