Guild Wars 2

Hi,
this new ‘bug’ made my game unplayable.
After the new patch I started to play in Auric Basin and suddenly dc’d from the game.
After login back I noticed my fps is way too low (under 10 all the time). Normally over 30 in heavily populated world bosses.

I started to tweak settings and everything, but nothing didnt work and all my hardware is in good shape like before.

But when I changed the view in first person my fps went back to normal.
Put the view in third person -> fps under 10.
Tried to reboot pc and those usual things, but didnt work.

pc specs:
i5-4670k @3.8GHz, sometimes oc.
gtx570hd 4045mb
8gb

ps. Other ppl had this problem too in the chat

Yes game is unplayable since patch, whether it is lag or frame rate issues, but every action has a marked delay – PVE, crafting, WvW, Fractals all maps, Living story is impossible to play in new HoT areas. It is very disorienting and per OP, alot of people are discussing problems in guild chat. also my PC similar to OP.

Per OP frame has dramatically changed – was 60 FPS before patch now 5-9 with no change on my end. Internet speed check is unchanged so this is patch related.

same is hapenig to me it started right affte this pacth fps is lower and camara is dysinc

Hovering between 10-30 FPS regardless of settings. Something is seriously wrong.

I too had my fps tank after the “bugdate” (my endearing term for updates, since they always come with them). I went from ~60 to ~20, no matter what settings I chose. Updating the drivers for my Nvidia GTX970 to the most recent WHQL one on Nvidia’s site has me back around 60.

Glad updating the drivers worked for you, I’m currently running the most recent drivers for my card though and still having issues.

Just to give a further update. I found that I saw a noticeable increase in performance after closing the software that controls my Logitech G700 mouse bindings.

Sort of a pain, considering I bind a lot of my skills to keys on the mouse which aren’t functional without the software running, but at least the game is playable now.

Edit:

After more investigation, I found that there were several options in my mouse software that appeared to be causing the problems. After unchecking “Allow games to control illumination”, “Enable Enhanced Graphics”, and “Automatically download high resolution product images” my FPS returned to HIGHER than it previously used to run.

If you’re using a Logitech gaming mouse and are having problems, I encourage you to try this and see if you notice a difference.
