I used to (i.e. last week) get 40ish fps on a medium mix of settings.

Now I get 10fps on everything lowest at 1366×768

I’m pretty sure I played on dec. 12 or 13, and it was bad when I played next on the 16th.

No hardware changes, and drivers up to date both before and after the drop. Tried a rollback as well as beta graphics driver to no avail. Tried repairing gw2 to no avail. Tried 32 and 64 bit clients to no avail. Tried prayer to no avail.

Windows 7 sp1 64 bit
Radeon R7 370
Core i3 540 @ 4ghz

I know it isn’t the best rig, but it didn’t get 90% worse overnight. If anyone can help me turn slideshow mode off, it’ll be a Wintersday miracle!

I hear you,

Ever since the November 17th patch with the Raids, my fps dropped significantly accross the whole game, high populated areas I’ve had to turn my graphics and resolution completely down just to try and stay above 10fps

The expac is completely unplayable no matter what now. Running a similar rig to yourself. But before the patch, could run in HoT and the rest of tyrias more populated areas smoothly at max resolution etc with no problem.

Annoying :/.
