Guild Wars 2

Hello,

So the tech team wasn’t able to help me, so I’m hoping that someone on here can help me. A couple of weeks ago, Arah started running slower, clocking in at around 16 fps, even when no one was there with me, on autodetect graphic settings. It used to run at 25-30 fps. Lion’s Arch is also lagging, but I’m assuming it’s because it’s packed pretty constantly.

My pc’s stats:
CPU: AMD A6-3670 APU w/ Radeon
RAM: 8.00 GB
GPU (Video card): AMD 6600 Radeon HD
Operating System (Windows XP|Vista|Win7 |Win8||MAC) 64 bit Windows 7
Internet Connection: (DSL|Cable|Satellite|Dial-up) DSL
Who is your Internet Service Provider: Verizon
Where are you geographically located (City|State): CA, USA
Type of Internet connection (Home|Campus|Business|Military): Home
Security Software used: Microsoft Security Essentials

Thanks for any help that can be provided!

So have you tried messing with the in-game gfx settings? e.g lower your resolution, rendering sample, shadows, reflections, antialiasing or postprocessing, preferably one by one. the first two are GPU-heavy settings while the rest are CPU-heavy. While you do that run the game in windowed fullscreen and open up Task Manager and see if any of the cores are hitting the ceiling of their usage. Once you’ve done this come back here to report your results and we’ll continue.
