When I say “HoT Preview”, I mean an in-game graphic-intensity test to see if your computer can run it. Like for example, copy and paste part of a vertically/decoratively busy area with lots of NPCs solely for the purpose of letting players walk in to see if their computer can handle it.

This is because when I bought HoT, I thought that my old computer could handle it just fine, seeing how it handles Central Tyria perfectly. So far from true. I took about 4 hours just to get my glider and probably won’t be going back there. It’s not bad, just frustrating to play if you can’t so much as turn the camera without a long, giant stutter.
I just wish that before buying a non-refundable HoT key, I had known that the new world wouldn’t go so well with my old computer.

I think you can get a refund if it’s within a certain amount of time. Possibly a month.

Other than that, you have all graphic options turned to lowest or off? Or possibly you can either post in the Account and Technical Support forum with your computer specs and a description of your problem and ask for advice or you can make a ticket and see if it’s something tech support can help you with.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Can’t get a refund because it was from G2A ^^; they have a no-refund policy on game keys.

And yeah, everything was turned to the lowest when I went in there.
