I’m not sure where to post this, so I apologize if it’s in the wrong place.

Lately all of my screenshots I take in game have been very poor quality (blurry and gross looking). Previously they were just, well, super nice looking.

Wondering what is causing this and how I can fix it.

They suddenly lowered the quality in a patch that took few months ago. You can take high resolution pics by adding “-bmp” in the game shortcut file. Here’s how to do it from wiki Command line arguments:

Windows via shortcut

You can execute switches directly from your Guild Wars 2 shortcut:

Right click on your Guild Wars 2 shortcut and select ‘Properties’.
In the ‘Target Area’ field you will see the location of your Guild Wars 2 executable file:

…\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe

Write the desired command line arguments after the quote marks, each beginning with a space:

“…\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -bmp

That’s progress. Hooray for progress!
