Guild Wars 2

After the update of today, my characters are stuttering on my screen.

Everything else on the screen is not stuttering , except my character (when moving)
Running 64bit Client fyi

- Tried to relog
- Tried to restart

When using movement skills, there is no character-stutter.
It’s only when running.

Cheers

after the initial opening animation, the regular gliding animation and the animation of lean technique gliding forward are stuttering…

edit:
ok maybe it is not the animatin but my character not moving forward in a fluent way, rather ‘lagging’… but it is fine while on the ground and my connection seems to be fine too…

Got the same problem here, its really annoying.

Getting this too. Human male. Noticed it after the last update.

I’m having the same problem.

Yup, I’m seeing the stuttering during gliding too.. Here is a video of it with the new glider skin.

While you’re at it, please fix this same stuttering effect that occurs when watching an in-game cutscene from a third person perspective. The character also stutters up and down. Good time to fix everything as a whole! o>

Yep, same here tried updating graphics card and all that restarting jazz still getting “stuttering” glad its not only just me

my client started stuttering with the balance patch in Jan.

Same problem here since today patch.
And with the new glider the stuttering is even more evident.

Got this same problem here as well. More than a bit annoying, kind of gives me a headache.

Doesn’t happen all the time or in all maps, though. I tried it in Lion’s Arch, Rata Sum, Tangled Depths, Auric Basin, and Frostgorge Sound. Had it happen in the latter 3, but neither of the cities.

It defiantly happens in the HoT maps and its bad :P

getting this on all maps, changed graphics settings to no avail.

Stuttering while running as well, also gliding animations are super stuttery-ey. Was fine until I patched today, issue popped up with the latest update(s) on 2/23/16

Please fix this bug, its horrible in pvp

oh i thought i was crazy and was just a fps issue thx im not the only one,
fix this pls :/ is really annoying

Adding my name to the list as well. Stuttering character when moving, everything else seems fluid though.

I’ve seen it on ocassion. It doesn’t happen most of the time for me, but I can notice it while falling rapidly or gliding.

I just played on my charr and I had a stutter while running in pve (Rata Sum) and WvW. It’s happening only when I run and glide.

Seems to be more severe for me in cities where i have a lower framerate than when I’m out in the open world.

There are times when it looks like my character is rapidly vibrating while running. If I zoom in on my Mawdrey this vibration effect becomes very obvious.

Really bad in WvW.

I was giving it a bit of leeway since my computer always has poor FPS but I’ve been able to notice changes in the past and I noticed this straight away.

It’s extremely bad when you already have low FPS to begin with. It’s like there’s a hitch my frames that’s not quite an FPS loss but a quarter second delay or something that’s giving me a headache to look at. I’m probably going to try to avoid playing too much until this is fixed because it’s physically painful to play at the moment.

And to be clear, I’m not losing FPS. It’s the same crappy FPS I’ve always gotten (blaming my computer not the game) but with a very subtle hitch almost between the frames.

I’m also experiencing the issue. It’s not FPS related, just as everyone else is pointing out (and as the video someone helpfully posted) there are weird hitches in character movement. It’s quite annoying.

Same for me, stuttering when moving, using glider ecc.
In pvp / WvsW is terribile.
I hope for a fix soon.

I am also experiencing this matter: stuttering when moving, using glider, etc. It gets worse in sPvP and WvW. It is so annoying.

Got it as well.
i7 5820k
GTX 970
16GB Ram
64 Bit Client
EU
stable connection
thus not a problem on my side of things.

Video of it for people who don’t have it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpuuF_kNylE

yea coming here to report the same problem, happening on both 32 and 64 clients on NA.

This is totally unplayable at the moment especially in pvp.
Very hard to tell where my character actually is especially when falling – fall a bit back up a bit…down a lot up a bit SPLAT.
When running im stuttering so badly that my character has multiple faces especially when strafing

I wanna add an update. It seems to be fine for me now the stuttering yesterday was horrible completely unplayable. However, today it only happens when I move my camera to the side view of my Charr and run at the same time. If I have the back (normal view) of my toon its fine just the side view is horrible.

I see this as well.. Seems certain camera angles cause my guy to stutter when running

Hello, I have this annoying bug too.
Here my specs:
32 bit client , AMD GPU (280x), w10 64 bits
Please I hope you fix it soon Anet

@briggah.7910

Are you sure? For me it stutters always, doesn’t matter how I turn my camera.

Hello!

After the patch I’ve noticed a weird bug while I move my characters. It seems like when moving my character it has some what of a lag or weird twitching that makes the whole movement/travel really rugged and harsh for the eyes. (edit: I can see majority of other characters move smoothly, yet again others not).

I tried re-logging, restarting game/pc, selecting different character, traveling, checking my internet connection (ping under 50), lowering graphics settings, disconnecting all other appliances from the wi-fi, closing everything but gw,…

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix it let me know as game for me is unplayable atm
Hope nobody is having same issues.

Still going on today. No ping/fps issues. Anet pleaseee.

Yes I only notice it when I move my camera at certain angles while running. Apparently some have it worse than others. Also I read, probably in this thread now since its been merged, that cities seem to have it worse.

Some are getting it in wvw and pvp as well but I really notice it the most while gliding.

now that I tested it some more, even when gliding it only seems to do it at certain angles..

i got this aswell, in every gamemode, unplayable atm

ME TOO!!!

and I feel better knowing Im not alone.

please fix this soon, Im missing my PvP season…

Welp hotfix rolled out just a bit ago. Seems the logout issue was fixed but upon logging back in the stuttering character animations are still there

Since the patch from 23.2 rolled out, my girlfriend encountered an annoying problem.
When she is moving around her character is juddering around in a strange way.
It looks like the character is being pulled back a bit constantly and then slides back into position.
Its not a matter of low fps since it happens with 60 fps and it also looks different that low fps juddering.
Also, it is only her character that does this, Not the game in general, not even other characters.
Repairing the game didnt help and even with todays little patch nothing happened.

Does anyone else have this problem since 23.2 ?

I have noticed my characters stutter as well when they run. I wonder if it has to do with that game data fix thing that some think is a hacking attempt.

There’s a thread about this issue over in the Bug forums. Sadly it seems like quite a lot of us are experiencing this issue :/
Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Bumping for visibility. Needs fix ASAP.

Just adding my name to the list. Log in to game to see if it’s been fixed, nope, log out of game. It’s unplayable like this.

I’ve also been having this problem since the Tuesday patch. My husband and I are using the same internet connection and have almost the same FPS and other data, yet he is not having problems with this and I am.

Hoping this gets fixed soon, I’ve had to stop playing since it’s been giving me headaches rather quickly.

Same problem here, I guess adding to these lists might help in speeding up a fix.

It really does need to be fixed soon though, people who focus on pvp or wvw are affected worse by this, and given how people get headaches off it even pve suffers.

I had posted in a different thread yesterday about this problem on the account and technical support thread. I opened a ticket the day of patch, but well I’m still here, so I think you can draw your own conclusions on the progress Support and I are making lol. Something I discovered was that my toons that had swiftness or were in cities stuttered the most. My slow poke guard hardly stutters unless gliding or swiftness are applied, whereas my thief and ele probably have it the worst. Not sure if you all noticed the same? I also run the 64-bit client and swapped to the 32-bit to see if things changed. I didn’t have any luck, but maybe one of you will.

Cheers!

It would be nice to get some sort okittennowledgment that there is an issue and that it’s being looked into.

Same bug.. i hope they are looking for a fix

Day 2 and no fix :/ It’s a shame so many people have this problem hopefully they’re looking into this headache overload with all the stutters :P I guess I’ll go play a different game haha

Same issue here while :
- walking (not easy to notice)
- straffing
- gliding
- falling
