New page

Blizzard says:

<nowiki> There where some improvements made to better support Dual-Core CPU's

This will require adding the following CVAR to the Config.wtf file located within the WTF folder inside the World of Warcraft install folder.

set timingMethod "1"

You can also type this command in-game, but will require a restart to save the changes.

/console timingmethod 1

If this does not help try setting the value to 0
