Guild Wars 2

Anyone have any lag issues in game? Been having it for the whole day and this is my first time.. So just wondering is it just me or others are having it as well..

Been having lag all kitten week since the last patch.

Other MP gamers run perfectly fine with great pings. GW2 on the other hand…

Having serious lag issues in WvW since yesterday, i got no clue why since i do wvw for a couple of months now.

I have noticed a lot more latency issues lately, too. Last 3 days have been 1sec – 2sec delays in WvW.

ArenaNet didn’t feed the hamsters before the three-day weekend break :/

Good luck in getting a reply from Anet, They couldn’t give a rats kitten about Lag/Skill delay.

Yeah..wvw has become unplayable 85% of the time since the last patch.

Even lag in PVE. Sometimes it’s fine, other times it’s unbearable.

Yes, and still getting spell lag in EB.

It’s lagging everywhere I go.. Whether it’s in PVE, WvW, Dungeons and Fractals, it don’t matter.. Been lagging ever since the tiny patch yesterday..

Been lagging like hell in WvW, PvE since that small patch @ 24.05. WvW is unplayable – 1 or 2 sec lag spikes. I’ve tried 2 diffrent ISPs. Same story. In other games everything is perfect.

I’ve checked everything: firewall settings, open & forwarded ports. Restarted routers multiple times. Cleaned the system with multiple tools. Checked connection with network monitors if anything is draining my bandwitch. Shut down completely anything that is using internet, even wi-fi in my smartphone.

Anet please fix this.

Doing a fresh and clean install right now… before trying to resort to 3th party programs like latency fix etc…

Tried Leatrix latency fix already, dont bother. Doesnt work.

Did exactly the same as PadmaN, still i have some terrible lag spikes/delay since the update 24th may.
I only do WvW and sPvP both are completely unplayable for me now, before the patch everything was just running smoothly.

When you guys say “lag”, consider this:

Does the game feel like a slideshow but is responding to your inputs quickly?
Does the game feel smooth but is responding to your inputs slowly?

There is a fairly large difference between the two. If it’s the first issue, that is not tied to lag. That is tied to your computer and how it is handling the game. That is called FPS and I’m posting here because I’m noticing a marked increase in this problem since the last patch.

If it’s the second point, it could be your internet service provider, and you have a high chance of hearing the same from Anet.

C’mon. We know what lag is. Instant skills going off after 2 seconds and people teleporting all over the place with constant 60 fps is s lag.

Exactly the same problem as PadmaN stated.. I’ve tried other games which are higher requirements than GW2 and they are all fine.. So ya, we know what lag is..

I don’t doubt that this is an elementary thing for some people, but not so much for others. I see people referring to jittery graphics performance as “lag” often so I’m just putting it out there in the event that it helps someone to be more clear. It’s not meant to condescend man.

I’ve contacted support about this. They requested a 30min log from PingPlotter which is basically doing a traceroute every 5sec. Anet responded that I have a packet loss becasue I’m loosing packets (about 20% ) on 4th hop and I should contact my ISP.
I don’t know where they’ve been educated but for traceroute the only hop that matters is the destination one as ghost packets have the lowest possible priority and are often disabled/ignored by routers they are passing by. Also if there was a real packet loss it would be visible on all the further hops like 5th, 6th and so on all the way to destination IP but it ofc doesn’t happen in my case. I’ve called my ISP and asked directly about that specific router that is “loosing 20% of packets” and they tested it everything is okay so my connection is clear… It’s pointless for me to argue more with GW2 Support at this point.
For those curious how to properly traceroute a GW2 server: type /IP in chat box and use Win MTR or PingPlotter with the IP you received without :0 at the end.
Ignore the 100% loss on last hop since GW2 servers completely ignore ghost packets from ping or tracert commands for security reasons.

This is starting to get problematic for me

Same problem here :/ The game is completely unplayable for me since ~24th may.
I have some serious lag issues in GW 2 (everything else works perfectly fine), both wvw/pve are unplayable (3s-1min delay on skills, teleporting people etc. I’m playing on Piken Square)
I can barely (BARELY!) do dailies, becouse I can’t do anything else with such lags :/

i’m sorry to come and cry on the forum, but at the moment this is horrible. Since a few days i had some big lag, but right now i barely can connect to the game, and cannot change map.

ANet it’s good you do some game update, but please, stop ignore us, can you even try communicate ?

The game is unplayable since a patch released in april, low fps, hard cpu/gpu load, game pretty lagged, I was in southsun 2 minutes ago, it’s impossible to play there..

I really like GW2, this is the game I was waiting for a long long time, but, the devs really are the worst when it comes fixing something, every patch released they ruin the game more and more.

Just waiting neverwinter online… because the way it is now it’s a pain.

Having same problem starts to lagg horribly in WvW then it gets completely stuck and the only way to get it up and running again is closing the application and starting GW2.exe over again.

My computer is like 6 months olf and has a strong graphics card with 16GB RAM, this isn’t normal behaviour for a game on a computer like mine, not even for Guild Wars 2.

Please fix this ASAP it’s annoying for your entire community of players Anet!

i agree same problem here, skills lagging…

forget about getting any kind of constructive response from Anet on this issue…it’s been going on for many people for months and Anet have consistently ignored it. It cannot be a coincidence that each time an update happens the game becomes unplayable for me, sometimes it’s for a few hours, a day or even on one case weeks. It is not my ISP, it is not my router, it is not my computer…it has to be something on the Anet side that they refuse to communicate to the players
