Guild Wars 2

This has only been a problem since the update dropped, and I’ve been waiting to see a fix in the patch notes but nothing so far. It’s not the standard skill lag we’ve all seen with the pulsing skill icon, it’s just nothing. Press F to talk, pick up, whatever, nothing happens. Press a skill key, nothing happens. Press Enter to open the chat, nothing happens. Then anywhere from 10 seconds to a full minute later, it suddenly catches up and dumps everything into the buffer all at once. This only happens in GW2 and only since the patch, no other program does it or I’d suspect my wireless keyboard’s battery power. Is there a fix in the pipeline for this?

Not sure if it’s the case but at times even a lag caused by connection can make skills don’t even blink, it would just do nothing. The same would apply to interacting with stuff and then all suddenly all the commands would come at once. What I mean is that skills blinking isn’t the only signal of lag, at times they can simply do nothing due lag.

I would buy that if the lag affected the mouse interface too. Thing is, when I notice it I can mouse-click on the appropriate “interact” option in the UI and it processes as normal. It’s only keyboard commands that are affected, and only since the patch. Very strange, and bloody annoying.

Ah ok, I think I didn’t see that it worked when clicking but no when using keys. Actually what I meant was that skills blinking isn’t the only signal of lagging, at times when lagging they don’t blink neither do anything else. It seems it’s not your case if you can use them through mouse clicking and not through keyboard. Does the same happen with skills? Like clicking on skill bar works while pressing their keystroke doesn’t?

Same here. I have heavy skill lag since the last patch. It worked fine yesterday.

I’m having the same, or similar, issue.

When using my WASD keys to move, F to interact, or numbers to attack, my keyboard sometimes seems to completely “cut off” and not respond – although I can still move and interact with my mouse (so it’s not lag related).

This only happens in GW2, and on a Logitech K260 Wireless keyboard (with brand new batteries, tested).

Any ideas?
