Hey Guys,

There's tons of threads posted and lots of promising solutions. I have one that I've been testing for three days and have not had as much as lag spike when mousing over cogs. This works if you're willing to disable tooltips when you are anywhere a cog icon might show up.

You will need to create two macros, for "turn off tooltips" and "turn on tooltips".

Turn Off Tooltips

/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end;  GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);


Turn On Tooltips

/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);



This should get you through until the official fix comes down from Blizzard. Happy hunting!

Hopefully this helps all of us having this issue.

everybody is dc'ing at loading screens entering instances after this mornings maintenance and getting stuck there.

could just be an issue with server overload but i can see the servers coming down again or restarts.

Ive had similar thoughts - especially when usually Blizz and their billions of dollars are normally much better at patches.
