Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I posted this elsewhere but it has received no answers so trying here.

Been playing for 3 years, on and off, but recently quite a bit. Never had any problems.
The other day I shut down my computer after a normal day of playing, no updates installed nor drivers updated.

Upon booting the next day, and launching Guild Wars 2, I was shocked to see that my fps was hitting only 10-15 and my ping was 120-250 (avg 230).

Here are my specs:

Processor: AMD FX™-6100 Six-Core Processor
RAM: 8GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
Gaming Graphics: 4855 MB Total available graphics memory
64 bit OS, 3 cores, direct X 10, Windows 7.

I’m inexperienced with computers so apologies if I’m missing valuable information.

I launched other games (all running normally, from Battlefield 4 to Team Fortress 2 to Hawken) all on relatively high settings. All have ping < 50, fps 60+, etc. The usual.

I have reinstalled Guild Wars 2, I have lowered all the settings in it to the absolute bottom – does anyone know how to combat this sudden attack?

It has now been 3 days that the game is more or less unplayable because of the 1-2 second delay in input and the slideshow framerate.

Does anyone know anything about how to solve this?

Error seems to be either ISP or GW2 – as every other game/resource works fine.

I’ve ruled out hardware issues and firewall problems – can anyone suggest anything useful?

It acts as though it’s a graphics issue – but in Guild wars only…
low population maps/staring at the ground raises fps..

I’m desperate – please help me play..
