Guild Wars 2

Devs,seriously,optimize the instances already.Why on earth do i get 50 FPS in the open world but in this instance 16-20 FPS max which makes it almost unplayable.Sometimes it even goes down to 10 FPS.Fix it!

DxDiag is attached but i highly doubt it’s my PC since i got good FPS everywhere else except citys.

Instances are different than open field, its more like cities. Your C2D CPU is likely maxed out and bottlenecked.

To undertstand/test why, read this:

As for dev optimizing or fixing read Question#11

I have a Core2Quad @ 3,2Ghz.This would be the first MMO where instances run worse than the open world.

Yes this is the first one, in CoE tho, u must turn off reflections and shadows. They abused of iluminating elements in that place so the poor and old Unreal Engine 3 struggle to render all that, it is just too much scene complexity for the engine to do it efficiently, and if u add to that things like Havok phisics engine u will have a CPU nightmare. It is not ur PC it is just lac of testing and poor software quality control, all on Anet side.
So yeah game looks very good but since is an ancient graphic engine it will have terrible preformance. Personally i would preffer the game look a little bit less impressive but at 50-100 FPS.
Thumbs up for GW2 on Frostbite2 engine (dreaming is free)

Opps. looks like Question#11 got lost when I was splitting the post into smaller segments. I fixed it. What the developer commented on https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FPS-GPU-CPU-Performance-issues-FAQ/first#post588196
