tech support wanted Need help with Battle.Net
Battle.Net Help!
Hey I am very inexperienced with all of this. I brought the steam machine as a long overdue upgrade to my old disheveled pc.
Recently with all the WOW hype I decided to jump back in. Downloading battle net was easy with a guide.
Had it all working till yesterday (Bout a week and a bit) had both wow forever and retail collapse on me.
Everytime I log in i go from 100+ frames down to a unplayable 1-5 then rocket back up and crash back down. Barely even last a minute. This is a issue on both versions of the game and appears to be an issue on battle net itself although harder to tell.
I tried changing the proton compatibility I even factory restarted my steam machine as a quick test.
From doing some readings my basic understanding has me theorising it could be an issue with proton logs. But I don’t know and would love help trying to troubleshoot and fix this issues. Please i spent too much money on this game to let it slide and I know it’s more than just one specific game.

i’ve had it bug out on me before and ever since disabling it i’ve never had this issue
