Guild Wars 2

anyone getting a problem where the sound isn’t synchronized with the game? like if you use an ability, the sound effect will happen 3 or so seconds later. is there a way to fix this

All the time? I have this sometimes in huge zergs, but not just normal play.

Not all the time, just for a minute after I log in as the drive is crazy active spinning it’s load up and dumping swap. Sometimes it’ll do it when I TP to a populated WP. Sounds like drive access or slow/full memory. If all the time, could be audio settings on your system audio CP, try lower settings there with the latest drivers? Depending on your audio, you may have latency settings which is vs. playback quality.

Asset loading bottle neck along side the 3GB or so memory limit for 32-bit apps means that assets get loaded and discarded all the time on sometimes it’s something basic like the sound that goes with your skill or your gathering tool. Sometimes the tool, sound and resulting animation only shows up on the last whack.

10 lbs of assets in a 5 lbs memory footprint.
