So I notice on K3 when having too many addons, or using a UI pack like "SyncUI(pfUI with preset settings)", pfUI, or modUI. The last 2 my guild mates have used, get micro stutter like either once every 30 seconds to a minute. And one friend reported to me that some days micro stutter happens and some days it doesn't. I used SyncUI, then got rid of it and made a custom UI thinking maybe it had something to do with it being a pack of addons. For awhile my own addon mix was working great, now the last 2 days have been filled with micro stutters. I have my addon memory on the addon menu to 999Mb, and the only addons that create lua errors in my bagnon(which Idk how to fix, maybe I can post those here and get some help), and I get errors with Questie hovering over some stuff on the map, minimap, or items in bag sometimes. So I'm not sure if its stuttering from the lua errors I'm getting(which by the way only happen when I first login(with bagnon) and ONCE in a blue moon Questie freaks out and gives a lua if I hover over something. Yet I get stutter throughout my play session. I remember using a UI I mace personally on other private realms and not having this stutter. If anyone else if having this stutter please share so we can all fix this together. Whether it's something to do with the server, or with my addons. At this point I legit can't tell since other friends/guildies are also having issues.
[K3] Addon Stutter, Please help.

What does that all do? Not going to download something random.

The file patches or changes the exe file in order to handle the memory allocation of the game up to 4Gb instead of 2Gb. Back then wasn't considered such an issue and the 2Gb limit was though as OK. Wish they knew or foreseen better.
I just went through and removed the interface folder and WDB folder again. started game, and unzip'd addons one by one again after I closed the game and restarted to make sure there was no stutter. I now have all my addons I once had and runs fine for now. It's almost like the cache or something got fucked in the process of fine tuning my UI to the point it's at now. So hopefully this will be the last time I have to fix it and can just play the game without any more issues.

Yeah, you should delete WDB folder often. you can also delete specific addon .lua files from your account folder when an addon behaves weird.
