Guild Wars 2

I have an i5-3550 (4 core) 3.2 ghz processor. But I can see that all 4 CPU cores are running at near 100%, and guild wars is responsible for all of that. I think when it locks up that’s because it gets to 100%. This problem only started happening about a month ago.

Check your task manager look for multiple sessions of your web browser running it may be malware or a virus.

I’ve checked taskmgr and Guild Wars 2 is the only major thing. Also the problem only happens when playing Guild Wars 2, never when I’m just browsing the web or anything. I’ve run a virus scanner recently but I’ll run it again within a couple days to be sure… but I’m 99% sure that isn’kitten

I’ve been getting game freezes as well..all seems to have started within the last week.

Basically you’re cpu bottlenecked. Try to disable High res character textures, shadows, reflections, put Character limit to low, and enable effect LOD.
