Guild Wars 2

I guess it must be all the explosions, but when fighting an egineer, my response time gets shot to hell. The entire video becomes jerky as if in slow motion.

It happens only in these scenarios and nowhere else. Is there a specific graphics settings I can use to alleviate this. Preferably without spoiling the entire graphics quality of the rest of the stuff?

If necessary I can live with it. It’s not that bad. But it can be a pita.

at a guess it’s the smoke particles

Yup, laggineers are quite annoying with their grenade spam lag. Should be fixed.

same here. Without engineers, my CPU runs at 50+ FPS with no lag spikes.

With 1 engineer that is using those flame-throwing kits….FPS drops to <20

if it makes you feel any better, my six year old rig is made out of most of the same components as my turrets, and ought to blow up on its own some time soon. not sure when, the RNG is still calculating…

Or you know, you can turn down post-processing and Enviroment options.
