I find it funny. between Season 2 having just started and they finally put something into the gem store i wanted (ok, I shouldn’t say “finally”, the shared inventory slots I bought right away too and that wasn’t long ago). but point is, I dont buy a lot of gems/gem cards but this week there was something I wanted, the glider, and Im not buying anything when I dont know when Ill be able to play the game again. And the glider only has I think 2 days left before its gone…
I, too, am getting this stuttering affect. Very annoying, I don’t want to leave town because it will be hard to navigate or fight anything with this going on.
I’m having to run windowed mode to do dailies in un-ranked pvp Ive no idea about ranked pvp yet might try it ,,, but it does help in un-ranked however to my disadvantage because i hate not adjusting my gamma to my liking, also I still have the stutter in open world and in HOT content. however I’m sure they are working on it, as it can effect business but I mean, as much as I get one little line of code either in the client or server side can be a pain in the … to dissect, come on, anet , I have had faith in ya to let us know something. like a report, a dev to a forum mod or something. don’t slouch on the informative side of things, it takes two seconds to tell someone your working on it. and then a minute to post that message on here, were asking nicely . SEE…..
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that we have a potential fix in the testing phase now. I also wanted to summarize some things that others in this thread (thanks!) have said helped:
windowed mode
limit fps
disable action camera
We’ll keep you posted on the status of the potential fix. Thanks for your reports.
I think I might be suffering from this bug as well. I have micro stutters in Open world, it is not so bad in unranked conquest, but the ping in LA for example is seeming high and my FPS is dropping to like 12 to 8 FPS at times. I am also noticing a Sound stutter very momentarily. I just had installed some upgrades to my pc, I was on XP (yeah yeah jokes can come in) but switched to 7 64 bit and got a newer Graphics card powersupply and harddrive was like what the **** why is my performance worse???? but now ,I’m seeing a familiar sounding issue happening to a lot of people. hope a fix is figured out, I love GW2 would like to be able to play without my ocd kicking in about the stutters
Based on what you said, you didn’t upgrade the motherboard and cpu, nor ram, and therefore I would fully expect less performance. While GW2 does use the graphic card to a large extent now, it still relies heavily on the cpu. Windows 7 itself has a heavier memory footprint, and 64-bit even moreso, than xp, while also likely putting a heavier strain on the cpu itself unless you have changed Windows settings to ‘best performance’ instead of appearance. If the mb & cpu & ram have also been upgraded, then that is a different issue obviously.
Is there anything or anywhere I can post to help with what I am experiencing?
I’m fairly technically and have been doing my own troubleshooting. I even rolled back my system to before the the patch (but the game is the same) and it’s still happening.
The thing I’ve noticed running the resource monitor is the game client 100% stops responding. It’s either a short or long pause. The CPU cycles assigned just stop for the game. The weird thing is the player location doesn’t change until you come back. So it’s like the server tells the client to stop moving or what not…
This is helpful information, Kryxx. Thank you for posting it. As I mentioned, and as GM Awesomeness reiterated, several team members are tracking this thread. We consider it a high priority, and we regret the issues that some players are experiencing!

I also infrequently experience stuttering and over the last two weeks have developed a twitching effect on my cursor during combat and it is extremely difficult to select skills. During heavy combat in WvW and PvP my toon also locks up momentarily. My fps averages in the teens and my graphics usage hits 99% during combat and heavily visualized areas. These problems started with the quarterly patch and seem to get worse with weekly updates.

For me it didnt fix anything. The known issue tracker also isnt updated.
It actually even got worse for me, its affecting my fps greatly, i already went through the entire troubleshooting with the support team so there is nothing much i can do about it,
All we can do is wait really..

Sorry to hear that, I hope you’ll find a way to solve it :/

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
Nuh uh, not only are they stuttering but many times I get no audio at all, many players are ignoring it, I find it most unprofessional.
Some of the cut scene will speak, cut out and maybe start again, sometimes starts at in the middle or end or no sound at all.
No, there’s nothing wrong with my installation – unless your 64 bit client is even worse than the 32 bit and I have had far less occurrences with 64 bit, but even some of the spoken content not being there, not getting to whichever client it is being streamed to or buffered to, should be cause to make sure all the sound files are protected – right now they aren’t coming across intact.

My graphical performance has taken a sudden dive after the most recent patch. I was doing fine before, and now everything is stuttering slightly (FPS has dropped to ~10?). I originally thought Lion’s Arch was just overly full in my instance due to the patch rush, but it has persisted across several maps. It’s making it very hard to do anything involving jumping and is forcing me to somewhat button mash for combat since there seems to be a slight delay, which makes it hard for me to maneuver my thief around.
you got the stutter bug we been complaining about for weeks,,,,, i do havever have a possible solution for you for the FPS thing. if running windows 7 (Im on 7 so all can do to to tell you .
hit start on your desktop in the start menu search bar. type in ‘%’ temp ‘%’ (without the apostrophes or spaces ). open the temp folder find your GW2 cache ,,and delete , trust me its safe to delete. next youll need to be in administrator to do this but g to my computer —> windows --→ Prefetch , and just delete everything in there except readyboot. all this folder is is a giant storage or cache to store quick start points for programs ,,, no harm will be done,, just dont touch readyboot. as its a system folder.
Hey ArenaNet, this doesn’t seem to be completely fixed. It is definitely occurring less, but I have noticed that there are still some times where it seems to crop up for a bit.
Its more like the camera is stuttering for me now. The animation of my character doesn’t seem to be odd or anything.
Edit:
The longer i keep playing the game the better the situation gets, There are some lagspikes here and there but nothing too bad.
Though i’d understand that the Pvp players in here will be annoyed still. But i play pve only kinda, its improved enough to be playable again. (:
I have same problem. During raid in Salvation Pass yesterday I had around 30-35 fps. 20 hrs later it went down to 16-20 at most. Same problem in every map.
I just got the issue last night, happens across all characters in lions arch. I’ve tried restarting and everything but no luck. =( Makes the game unplayable.
EDIT: i’ve tried repairing my files, restarted my computer, different characters, different cities. Same issue. Though, if I jump while running I can run fine. But once I stop it happens again, i think it might be clipping into the floor?
EDIT EDIT: I updated my keyboard firm ware and it fixed it.
Keyboard firmware? Weeeeird. I had been suspecting driver issues, but keyboards are usually pretty innocent. Out of curiosity, what kind of keyboard do you use?
were asking nicely . SEE…..
