Guild Wars 2

I run a pretty powerful machine. Typically, the game will run between 40 and 60fps depending on what’s going on. The only time I ever see a performance issue in this game is when I zone out of Divinity’s Reach into Queensdale. The game drops down into the single digits for fps and will remain that way until I restart the client. It’s not Queensdale itself, because the game is back to normal once I restart.

I’ve never seen this occur at any other point in the game, but it happens nearly every time I go out from the city.

I have exactly the same problem at exactly the same place. Exiting Divinity’s Reach into Queensdale via the Dwayna Gate utterly destroys my frame rate. Like you, I have to restart the game in order for things to run smoothly again.

Actually, to add to this. I’ve just used waypoint travel to leave Divinity’s Reach for the Darkwound waypoint. Same problem occurred. So perhaps it’s more about leaving Divinity’s Reach as it is the specific destination?
