Guild Wars 2

I have been having issues with FPS ever since they turn off the culling in pve.
These are my system specs: Intel i7 3930k, 16gb ddr3 1866, Sapphire 7970ghz 6gb vid card. i am using a 3 monitor set up, which makes the resolution 5760×1080.i have everything set to max settings. (the auto-detect sets everything to high). Now before the update i would usually get 50-60 fps running around, and at world boss like the shatterer it would drop to about 20-30 fps which isn’t bad consider its pushing out to 3 monitors on a single card. since the patch my fps 20-25 when i literally just log in and no one is around me. as soon as i start an event or invasion, or even go to LA, my fps drops to 1-10 fps and the lag is unbearable. i have tried a couple different things, like turn off 2 of the monitors which had little impact on fps to no impact at all. i also turned all the settings to low(btw game looks horrible) and my fps doesnt go up at all. I was wondering if there is anything else i could do to bring up the frame rates. also i have been experiencing unbelievable lag at times. and i know it’s not me since i have a 50/25 connection speed, and reply with something else i could try would be helpful.

I have the same problem as you . Since last patch I have gone from 50-60 fps with everything on high to a locked 15fps. Even If I change graphics to best performance it stays around 15fps.

Something is definitely not right here.

My fps suddenly dropped drastically today from around 40 to 9. Now it’s around 9 all the time, no matter where I go, and I didn’t do anything on settings. It was fine earlier today when I popped in for like 20 minutes before work, but now it’s unplayable. What happened?

Same here, dropped from Ultra settings @ 60+ fps to Minimum setting @ 10 fps.

Been scrambling all day to benchmark and update computer, but nothing is wrong.
Every other game still runs perfectly, definitely something in the latest update.

Hardware:
i7-3840QM (Quad 2.8 GHz)
GTX 680M (4GB)
16GB DDR3 (1600 MT/s)
SSD Hard Drive (Very Fast)

It’s not our Pc’s fault, it’s Anet’s, and it always is. This will happen to less than 1% of all GW2 players, therefore Anet won’t bother. We can complain all we want, but that won’t help. All we can hope for is a magical fix after the next build, but then there will be another problem for other players. It’s all just a red circle of crashes, FPS drops and glitches. Maybe you’ll get hit in the next wave as well.

Update:
Got my 60 fps back! I’m not sure if ArenaNet changed something server side, or if my final tweaks made all the difference, but the game is smooth as butter again.

My driver was up to date, but my “GeForce Experience” wasn’t.
Once I installed the new update for that, everything was fixed.
(A little weird considering I kept the same settings.)

Fix or Coincidence? Odd that issues started and ended with the Free Trial Weekend.
Hope this helps someone, see ya’ll in game!
