WoW Classic players report severe performance issues following major patch on Hardcore launch day
Just hours before the launch of WoW Classic Hardcore, Blizzard Entertainment let a patch go live that brought about a relatively unfavorable update, and many Classic-era players aren’t happy about it.
Earlier today, WoW Classic was patched ahead of the Hardcore launch, and a few changes that altered the backend coding of the game ultimately affected many players’ experiences with server lag, as well as some incompatibility issues with certain addons. Players on the WoW Classic subreddit are reporting that even though the game says that their ping is somewhere in the range of 30ms, it’s closer to about 200ms.
