Guild Wars 2

I was getting great performance on my late 2012 iMac and now with the patch just release I am seeing 2 to 4 FPS in WvW .. this effectively makes GW2 unplayable for me (and other mac users)

I am not the only one who is seeing this.. nearly every Mac user is as well

please see:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/mac/FPS-DROP-WITH-PATCH/first#post3598738

Forgot to post my specs

3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
OS X 10.9.1

Same here… it’s unplayable.

I guess no one tested it on a Mac because we are a insignificant number of players.
I hope I’m wrong and someone really having a fix.

I confirm this is a bug. will lose a large portion of the player base if not fixed asap.

Here is a screenshot of my playing in the WvW zone .. showing 3 FPS …

good to know! looking forward to future updates

Gaile is there any ETA/UPDATE on this situation??

Any news Gaile?

Hello Gaile, do you have another update as to when we will get a fix for the Mac client?
Much appreciated.

Any status updates on this issue?

hope to look forward to this update because i downt play if its crashing my game because its to anoying thanks for fixing this big mac problem

Can’t say I’m having the same issues. I was able to tweak some of the tg settings in config and that helped. I am getting much better fps now in WvW. I am on a MBPro with the GT650M 512MB. I still get drops when there are a lot of players and complex terrain, or in a city with complex terrain, and I can’t play the new WvW map at all. Those issues are because my computer is limited though, and not really ANet’s fault.

I have mine with everything at the very lowest setting (or disabled if applicable) and my iMac is a late 2012 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB , 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 and 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 ram and an SSD-HDD Fusion drive. .. WvW is a slide show .. 2 or 3 FPS .. its migraine inducing.. I just stopped playing till the issue is fixed..

(even dropping the screen rez to the lowest possible value helps none)

Anet Any status updates on this issue?

Anyone know if todays patch includes a fix to the FPS problem ?

doesnt seem so, getting heavy fps drops on win8 in the new la

On my iMac the FPS issue is now fixed .. was in the WvW zones and getting 30+ fps with some decent sized zergs around and eyecandy set to the auto-detect defaults..
