Guild Wars 2

Anytime I open my contact list my fps goes from 80 to around 8-20. Leaving it open causes the my fps to stay low closing it solves the issue. Anyone else experience this?

This happens to me as well. Also when i open the guild interface

GW2 uses flash for the UI the problem is more then likely within that somewhere. A similar issue existed in tera where the UI would eat up about 60 FPS unless you turned the entire UI off.

Try updating flash and or shockwave , i know it helped for some people in tera.

There is 2 versions of Flash. One for IE and Firefox + other browsers.
Be sure you have both, as the GW2 mostly likely uses the IE version.

I use chrome. I’m pretty sure I have it for IE can a dev please reply about this…

I have this issue.

I also still have this issue, I installed Flash player for BOTH IE and Firefox, tried the repair thing for the guild wars 2 client as well, messed around with the in game settings, even cleared out some people on my friends list, still doesn’t solve the problem :\

had this problem earlier; turn off hardware acceleration on flash

Well like the game said, There no MMO like guild war. Yea i understand it now,

Also happens to me, Disabling Hardware acceleration doesn’t work btw.

I’m having this issue as well. It just started a couple of days ago. I can’t recall exactly when it started but I believe it was after one of those recent patches. Before this weekend I never had a problem with the any of the panes being open. It only happens with the Contacts pane. I can open any other pane without issue. The lag goes away once I close the Contacts pane. I only have a few people on my contact list so it’s not due to a large amount of contacts. Nothing else on my system has changed other than the game was patched several times. Disabling hardware acceleration didn’t help.
