Guild Wars 2

(Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this)

I logged into GW2 today and my game started to lag like hell. Was getting like 4 – 5 FPS, normally I get around 40 – 50 FPS and tried lowering my settings down but still got 4 -5 FPS. Last night my game ran normal didn’t lag at all, seems like the update today did it but I don’t know. Has anyone else had this happen? (My hardware and everything is all update, I update my stuff right a way when new updates comes out)

I’m seeing something probably remotely related to this issue. While the last update (very) slightly improved my overall framerate, I’m now getting constant few-seconds long lockups every odd 10 minutes while travelling through zones (same as in OP’s case, my HW nor SW configuration didn’t change from yesterday).

I didn’t figure out the exact pattern yet, but the behavior suggests this to be happening when entering a new grid (depending on how the zones are internally partitioned, it’s obviously hard to guess from the player’s perspective). Needless to say, this happens regardless of the actual I/O load (there is usually none at the moment of the lockup, which then lasts for a few seconds, and the game then resumes normally), and only started exhibiting with today’s update.

Something clearly changed in the game’s renderer and this should be investigated further, especially if more people confirm sudden major performance issues.

i have that same problem sometimes
