Guild Wars 2

Hello All,

I was just hoping that I could get an answer out of an admin that they are looking into optimizing the game to be less CPU bound, for example the game doesn’t even use my GPU above 15-20% at all times. and I don’t get that great of Frames 20 – 40 FPS in general areas and 10-5 FPS in large ZERGS, I just want to know when if even they are going to come into the current gen and run on DX11 and use more than two cores of my CPU.

P.S. – I have talked with Tech support and have gone through all their test, getting 96 AVG FPS on the benchmarks I ran, and get great FPS on any other game I play. Is anyone else getting bad frames, cause I would WAY rather have a stable game client in WVW and in large BOSS fights, than an update to the “Tower of Nightmares” or living story in general, not saying that I don’t love the story or that I don’t play the game religiously but I think that generally players would agree.

Specs Below — >
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Mother Board: Saber Tooth 990FX
Processor: AMD FX-8150 Eight Core – 3.61 GHz
Memory(RAM): (16GB) DDR3
Graphics Card: ASUS – GTX680-2GD5

I agree, It seems to be more of a problem for us FX users. But I’ve seen i5s and i7s get the usual slow down in heavy WvW scenarios.

But I’m even more eager for a optimization patch after seeing the MASSIVE improvement in fps from the Planetside 2 patch. I really hope Anet can do something similar because PS2’s patch was stellar.

Thanks I just hope that we get people in here to voice this huge issue, tell all your friends to come here and comment (Bring the POWER of the internet)

There’s a sticky at the top of this forum where Bill Freist has been keeping us up to date with their progress on optimization:

Now that I read that, it doesn’t really help at all … this thread is about FPS/optimization issues, not “SKILL LAG” or server side band width and optimization issues, but thanks for trying :-)

The only thing they have said about client side optimizations is “we are working on it”. Very vague response. More than likely they aren’t overhauling the engine to benefit from multi cores and gpus.

i would love that too , cause i dont have the best rig out there and my pc cant handle the latest games but i can runn them with 30-50 fps if i drop shadow and blure ( well most of the games any way ) but in GW2 no matter wht i do the fps remain the same 20-30 and it drop even more when i go to WvW . so yeah i would love them to give us a patch for max optimization ever been done here .

btw ppl keep telling me why i play GW2 and not playing wow and i keep telling them if Gw2 runns smoothy on every computer like wow does then GW2 will be wow killer , sadly it doesnt .

I was in your shoes up until 3 days ago. I had a serious crash that required a full reinstall of windows and the game(i’ve dones this numerous time since owning the game with no dramatic results in the past) for some reason though i’m now maintaining 40+ fps even in zergs and well over 80 fps in world exploration with supersampling on. I can get 200+ fps now if i turn super sampling off. I’m using a phenom II so your FX should be able able to keep up in theory but I have no explanation for why i’m suddenly getting food frame rates when a few days ago i was stuck in your boat.
