Guild Wars 2

so ive never had a problem running this game on the highest settings, and the other day when i logged in, it was running at 5 fps, ive tried reinstalling the game, ive reinstalling directx runtime, as someone suggested, still nothing. If i lower the graphic options, it will go up to 8 fps still not much of a diffrence. Ive changed the refresh rates,turned on v sync, i dont know what else to do.

Hey GW2 team, will the next game, if made, please be made with more than core. Thanks, -Every GW Player

Can you verify that the game is using your discrete graphics card, not the integrated one?

Hi Jon

I run an i5 4670 with a GTX970 and have been noticing severe FPS drops recently while mainly playing WvW when I come close to blobs, significantly more than what have been experienced in before.

I usually run High settings but even after changing the Character Model settings to Medium it does still appear much worse than what it use to be.

It is also not a case of my CPU bottoming out, usage are around 60-80% when this happens.

Cheers,

HB

80% in task manager? because that could pretty much be cpu bottleneck. afaik that number is average of all cores but it only takes 1 core thats 100% to cause bottleneck

to the OP, what other games did you try to run to verify its not HW problem?

im running a i7 2600 clocked at 3.40, with a hd 7950 3gb, ive never had a problem running guildwars on high until a few days ago, i dont have this issue with any other game.

Yes, I have the Task Manager Performance tab open on a separate screen and the usage is consistent over all 4 cores. I don’t have any other resource hungry programs running either.

Last night there was a case where a 30+ enemy group ran past at about 2,500 distance and our 30+ odd group also being close with my frames dropping from 60 to 30 straight away. When I jumped in to take out backmarkers, GW2 really started to choke up.

This has been very noticeable since the latest big update.

Btw my PC has just been freshly installed on Friday with latest drivers etc. All the necessary power options and Nvidia settings were also adjusted for max performance.

Hello there, I’m suffering from same issue.
My spec is:
AMD HD6770
AMD FX-8350.
Previously my game was supersmooth on medium-high settings, and now it’s pain to play even with lowest settings.
