Guild Wars 2

Is the 64 bit client self updating or does it require users to check for updated versions?

I just wanted to let Nvidia users know, that they released a game ready update yesterday that specifically fixed some issues with the GW2 64 bit client.

I think it’s brilliant, ever since i changed to the 64bit version my game doesn’t crash, it’s very stable, thank Anet.

I note the seamlessness of the 64-bit client and the “standard” 32-bit version. One doesn’t even notice the “difference”—————-EXCEPT that the 64-bit client offers a better stability.
Thanks ANET!!

+1 for 64-bit

It’s very noticeable I can now raise my gfx settings above minimum “best performance” without crashing after an hour of game play!

Wondering if there is any official word about the 64-bit client and performance issues? There is a huge thread on reddit about it. I for one am running a core i7 6700k and amd 280x, Windows 10 and the game was randomly pausing really bad. But going back to 32-bit and it’s silky smooth.

Anyways, love the game. It’s been driving me crazy trying to figure out what is causing stutters, but it appears to be the 64-bit client being the worst offender for me.

I should add, that for me it didn’t seem like ‘just’ a fps issue, but actually random pauses for a second here and there.

edit Eventually found out it appeared to be a bad motherboard driver or something else having an adverse effect (it was a fairly clean/recent install). I installed Intel RST and Intel MEI… without those my system is running way better overall. The stutter was just most noticeable in GW2, but was apparently effecting me overall as I’m now getting double to tripple my FPS in HoTs as well.
