Guild Wars 2

I fixed it by doing below. It worked for me.

• Adjusting collision sensitivity all the way to left. (FPS backed up from 15-ish to 60)
• Adjusting Field of View to get good balance of FoV vs FPS

this way didnt fix the problem for me… atm my only way to get back my fps is to hide the UI -.-

Having the same issue here. I don’t have a ultimate PC for gaming (Radeon Graphic Card). But I normally get around kitten fps. Now I’m having hard time reaching 25!

I have i5, r9 280x, 8gb ram, I always had 50-60 fps (60 fps on map where I was alone) now the game runs at 35-40fps like if I was on triple wurm or tequatl… annoying and Anet dont say nothing

so i open windows (Win7)task manager meanwhile gw2 open and found some intersting app running backgroud with the words “games” and “UI”, i didnt checked task manager before update so i dont know if this was here before, but i traced the app and is on my gw2 folder Guild Wars 2/bin/, i checked the creation date of the file and its from january 2015 so its not a new app, i probalily never saw it :P, but maybe the problem is related with this app?

also
hide UI: 25-40fps
not hide UI: 13-19
all on low expet render samp, is native, tried subsample it didnt changed a thing,
camera sensi all left

my old machine (most pple will lmao):
intel T4400 dual core 2.20GHz, 4gb Ram, ATI4500 512mb dedi, win7 32bit
is a toshiba sattelite laptop

I wonder why we are all experiencing this mess

Same Problem. 20 to 30 FPS drop since Patch.

I checked on my pc and have the same app in background, I closed it, but the game crashed aswell xD. so yea maybe the problem come from that

Coherent is the framework for integrating web ui (example: bltc) into the game. It has been there since they switched from another framework while back…

Same here on Mac, went from 45fps to 17.

I think we should make support tickets, since Anet isn’t acknowledging this game-breaking bug.

Trust me when I say that that’s not the case. They haven’t made a response in this thread about it, but the Anet customer service and bugfixing teams have always been really solid.

This bug is humongous. I don’t know if you’ve ever done much scripting, but I’d be willing to bet someone misplaced a couple paragraphs of the core script and it sent the whole thing out of whack. Just finding the errant code is going to be a ridiculous hassle that may well be the work of days – I don’t expect them to have a complete fix until sometime late this week.

Another patch update and we still with the same fps drops, srsly I guess that Anet dont do nothing about this, if they at least post here with “we are working on it” but nothing… 2 days without play.

I’m leaving GW2 for now, until, my FPS returns to normal.

Well thank god they fixed the gummy wurm…now if i could only play with 10 frames per second, I’d be golden.

yeah same ui is killing my fps

They have a new tech to animate the UI and it is used in the skillbar when we swap Revenant Legends. This patch introduced lots of HoT files so maybe they change the UI to introduce this new tech in the game already, even if we can’t play as revenant to see the animation, but it don’t end well.

I suspect that Anet will not make another client for the Beta and will still using the live client to test the expansion. I’m running the same GW2 client since beta, without download a new one, so i think it will happen again. I don’t expect it to change any time soon until the release of the expansion.

I will log-in just to grab the daily log-in reward, can’t even do the dailies…

And still no official response to the 1000’s of players this is effecting.

I was getting 60+ FPS before with maxed settings.
Now after this patch I get 10-20 FPS. Changing the settings from high to low makes no difference to FPS but oddly hiding the UI makes it a little more bearable.

I can’t WVW or PVP or even do a dungeon. I can’t even map explore in an empty map without the fps giving me a headache. I want to keep playing this game but difficult when it makes me ill. Please fix the fps issues.

fps drop is here as well. and it seems to be connected with gui (when its off, fps is like it was before)
ive posted it few tiems already, but we must keep topics high so maybe they’ll stop ignoring us

Before 18/3 update I had 80+fps and at WvW over 60 and now i’ve got everywhere maximum 12fps even on lowest settings!!!
Radeon 7850 2g oc edition.

This is starting to exceed being patient. They have acknowledged or replied to almost ever other bug from this patch. I understand they are busy, but there are those of us here who cannot play the game (I’m not talented enough to play without the UI). This somehow seems more important than some of the things that have been fixed already. The withdrawals are setting in guys so can we get some sort of word on this please, please, please before I resort to doing something more productive with my life

I 100% agree this is probably the biggest issue after the patch and I still havent seen any official response regarding this big problem.

Maybe sending a ticket to support an Anet staff anwser us?

A response from ANET would be appreciated on this issue. Since the patch the game has been nearly unplayable for me….my FPS dropped from 30 to 10-15. I played one PVP match and it was terrible…won’t play again as now I’m a liability to the party.

I’d nearly guarantee that sending a support ticket about this wouldn’t help whatsoever. It took over a day to get a response back for mine and I sent it right after patch yesterday. All they said was that they were aware of the problem, and you’d likely get the same response for this issue. It’s been reported numerous places so I’m sure they’re aware of it, just gotta sit tight.

Not playing too. Impossible to play this way. I will wait a fix to come back. Sad.

I……have done sweeping my house.

I also can no longer play thanks to the fps drop, I only had around 15-20 before, now I’m sitting at 5..when I hide the ui it’s fine tho, the lack of response from the devs on this situation is making me wonder if this is not a bug atall, and the changes for Heart of throns means the game takes more to run then previously? I would really appreciate atleast a official response from arena net concerning this so I don’t have to keep refreshing the forums to see if it’s been fixed yet :L

Please we need a response from Anet! There are a lot of players (me included) who can’t play since patch. Are you working on it? It will be fixed or is not a bug?

We need some info!

Please ANET. Any news?

I had terrible FPS after the patch when I first logged on but it’s always cleared up for me if I change resolutions, for example, I switch it from 1920×1080 to windowed, then switch it back to 1920×1080. It’s important to make sure it actually changes resolution (I can’t remember if you have to hit OK to make it change resolution) but doing that fixes my problem. I don’t know if it’ll help anyone else.

Having the highest setting with 1920×1080 or lowest setting with 1024×768 doesnt change any thing for me … I would like to repeat too, I’ve send 1 ticket the 16th after the patch for FPS drop, I still dont have an answer, I reported from IG too, made several posts on french forum, participated on several posts here, whispered 2 GMs on forum, but nothing to do, 0 official answer…

The resolution setting is not the problem. I think everyone agrees that its the Ui that causes all this. What we just wanna know now is if this problem is an actual bug or intended. An official response to this would really be helpful by now, people are getting frustrated.

I guess if it was intended we wouldnt get that high FPS by hiding the UI ( I have 20-25 FPS with UI, reaching 90 FPS without) this is a bug for sure..

Yea when the UI is hidden, I gain a massive boost to FPS rate. My game is beautiful again, however I don’t want to play like that. The issue is clearly the UI ( User Interface).

Yea if it was intended we would have low FPS either with the UI or without.

Not exactly unplayable like it is for some of us, but that it one hell of a drop.

getting funnier! no inventory – 55fps
turning on inventory (god, its just a bunch of icons!) – 40fps
fix your game please…

go to gw2 proprieties and see if anything has changed after the new patch guys.

my fps decreased aswell and if i mouseover skills i get freezes that sometimes just last a split of a second but sometimes they last 30+ seconds. When i open windows (like tp or inventory) i get the same freezes.
i run the game on medium to low settings on a 5 year old pc (i3 with 2.93 GHz and a gforce gt 330) before the patch i had 40-60 fps in heart of the mists/pvp matches and now i have 28-45 fps.
UI and terrain now take a while to fully load.
Edit: when i put conditions on the enemy i get freezes aswell and all enemys in wvw use the very low model (even if there are very few players, my setting for char limit/ quality are on low) and soundeffects/animations load extremely delayed.

Apparantly, we need to re-dowload + re-instal the game, then FPS problem should be fixed. I’m gonna try it tonight,

after all the patches they rained since ‘update’, no change in performance (but luckily sweetfx works again)

would be nice if anyone redtagged on forums would answer in a single performance-related topic, as its tons of them and we seem to be ignored

we’d be grateful for any info if re-download and re-instal help

Already tried that. Does no good.

So does that mean that they don’t acknowledge the problem? Or take it serious at all.

That’s how it’s starting to seem, I read on one post that someone posted something on the guild wars 2 facebook page regarding the fps issue and it got removed O.O, it would be nice if they could just let us know there aware of the issue..this has to be a major knock in PR for arena net..
