Guild Wars 2

Having High Res Character Textures on after recent patch makes the game stutter, turning it off even without changing map fixes it but then after you swap map npcs and other people look really bad.
No this ain’t a problem with my PC, i ran gw perfectly fine before this patch and it’s exactly the same now after i turn this option off. But i shouldn’t need to ….
So please for the love of god look into this, i honestly like the new optimizes but this is just absurd.

Oh wow, so I wasn’t crazy.

Yea been trying to figure it out since patch hit and then saw your reply and tried it.
So thought it really needed a new thread for people/dev to see it.
Even sent a ticket about it.
Hopefully it’ll get fixed soon ….

Same problem here..

Can a dev please respond?
This is really dumb and ruins the whole game for me and it’s not like I’m alone.
The option is broken and has nothing to do with my PC and don’t wanna see all my friend’s chars and NPCs look like they’re from minecraft only cause of this.

same here.

I’m having the same problem!

Please, whoever still has this issue send a ticket to get their attention since mine resulted in “unfortunately this isn’t enough information for us to go off of just yet, and I was not able to reproduce this issue on my own system”.
If enough people report it, then they’ll surely address this.
