Guild Wars 2

I’m on an I7 4790 with a GTX 970, and before this patch I would run high/ultra (low model/char limits) everything and have little frame drops here and there, but after the winstersday update the game is getting lower frame rates and just seems to suffer from slow down. Also, when doing auto detect on graphics settings it is putting most settings to low, even though it didn’t do that before the patch. I tried repairing client and removing the settings saved files so everything went to default, and no luck.

As an update to this, turning shaders to low fixes it for the most part even while everything else is on high/ultra, but this wasn’t the case before as I had shaders on high as well. Any help would be great. I didn’t update anything in terms of gfx drivers or anything else. Just started with the wintersday patch. :/

So after a bit more messing around with gw2 only, I found out reshade was causing the issue. Now autodetect puts all settings at high and the issues seem to be gone. Not sure why the wintersday patch messed with my reshade as I’ve been using it since I built this pc a year ago, but just a heads up to anyone having issues with GW2… Hopefully this gets fixed so I can go back to using reshade.

You’ve determined that the problem is Reshade, so you need to let its developer know. Reshade is a 3rd party program that isn’t supported by ANet — when things change with GW2, it’s up to the 3rd party to adjust.
