Guild Wars 2

Over the last few days I have had extrem performance issues in spvp (the lobby aswell as the atual game maps).

FPS are dropping for no apparent reasons even when there is “no action”, changes to the game settings have no influence on this whatsoever.

I also get the known “wvw-issues” such as skills not happening etc.

My latency to the server seems stable and at a decent level, but I get extreme delay on interactions with other players.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas what to do about it?

You seem to have 2 different issues. FPS lag is caused by your PC (laptop/mobile phone/microwave, etc) not being able to handle all its processes at once. Try closing all other applications when playing the game. Unparking your CPU cores may also be something you want to look into. If you think the problem may be related to your graphics card then try downloading SweetFX for GW2.
As for skill lag and interaction delay, that is almost always a server/connection side issue. Your ISP may be throttling your connection during times you play or your ping may just be generally very high. You can try downloading WTFast, which is a paid VPN but it has 1 month free trial and I’m sure there are also free ones out there.
If all that doesn’t work try submitting a ticket to ArenaNet. They will give you a link to a program you can download that will detect where the source of your problem lies and they may be able to give you advice on how to fix it.

Btw I’m not sponsored by any of the software developers that I mentioned… sadly :P just wrote what worked for me.
