Guild Wars 2

I often have my game up while also having the Dulfy website up in the back ground. I do this so I follow all the many guides he has, switching back and forth to see what I need to do next as far as jumping puzzles or whatever.

Until recently, this was never a problem.

When I do it now, my game lags so bad, I can hardly play. If I close out Dufly, the lag goes away. My connection has plenty of speed and should be able to handle a video and my game with ease.

Is this happening with all people or just me? If its just me, any clues on how I can fix this?

I’m seeing video ads running on the timer pages. It’s possible that whatever ad server service she’s using now have TV commercials in rotation. That was chewing up 150KB/s of bandwidth and nearly a core (thank you Flash) of CPU performance.

You could try getting AdBlock addon for your browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) and see if it helps with your problem.

I agree. That’s what I’ve been using on practically all websites except YouTube.

Try to turn off hardware decoding for Flash player as that might be a problem when you run a game at the same time.

I used Dulfy’s guide to complete AP in Silverwastes for MP and noticed also that I had more stuttering then usual while trying to find my way through JP, looking for Badges/Coins and getting through this maze of Skritt tunnels.

My browser run with AdBlock and I have a i5 4670K (four core), GTX 970 and 16 GB RAM, so it should be able to run both a game and browser without hickups, so I don’t think this kind of problem is related to simply ads running in background (as those wasn’t at least visual when I used Dulfy’s site).

Somewhere I saw here on this forum that somebody complained that when he/she used alt+return to shift windows size, game seem to get more lag/stutter.

You can use something like this: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

Its free and easy to use.

I have adblock but it is disabled on dulfy’s site. On the other hand I have flaskblock as well so those would be blocked unless I manually activate them.
