Q:

Hello, I have been having this strange issue since a day ago.

1. Guild Wars 2(x86) Client will load and play, but I will be stuck in every loading screen that involves switching a map until I alt+tab out of the game. The map I’m going to will load afterward.

2. Guild Wars 2(x64) Client when run with integrated graphics will load and play, but I have very bad FPS (10-15)

3. Guild Wars 2(x64) Client when run with “High-performance NVIDIA processor” will not load. Task Manager says the game is playing, but there is no Gw2 icon to click on to load the game. It’s as if it’s running in the background as a process but the game itself doesn’t load or play.

I did not have any of these issues until about a day ago, and I did not download anything suspicious or play around with any settings.
If anyone has any idea of what is wrong, I would be very appreciative if you could tell me.

Thanks.

Same issues for me sadly. I am using the 32bit client, too. Every loading screen means a crash or freeze for me at this point. Hope to get some news on this.

So I changed my graphics card from High-performance NVIDIA processor to integrated graphics and it works again but terrible FPS.

yep, same happened to me. 4fps max… I will completely uninstall all Nvidia software & drivers and do a clean install after. Have the feeling that the windows 10 update hitting yesterday has caused this problem.

So yea if your using reshade the d3d9.dll is preventing gw2-64.exe from opening. I removed that from my bin and now it works perfectly running back on my gpu.

You guys all need to contact Anet and try to convince them to do something about this. They must be aware of this issue now. Only happens on mobile Nvidia gpus running Windows 10 but the silence from Anet on a fix is alarming; they either a) dont read these forums b) cant fix it or c) are hoping it goes away. It wont.

Workarounds are, as you have found out: Windows 7 compatibility mode; or running the game with no Vsync (use borderless fullscreen to avoid screen tearing.) Why this is the case I have no idea, but they have made no attempt to either admit there is a problem or fix it. Despite many threads about this same thing. They may try to shift the blame to Windows, but EVERY other game works fine since Windows November update. This is something to do with Nvidia and Anet.

Also on at least one Nvidia mobile gpu I have tested, running November Windows update, Reshade indeed does not work on this game as stated above. Simply will not load no matter what you do. Something has been broken by either the Windows patch or Anet. Problem is they dont seem to want to acknowledge it or fix it. On the same game on my desktop system it works fine and I have no bugs. I am using an R9 290. Laptop problem case is using an Nvidia 870m. This problem also causes artifacted/corrupted textures when you can get the maps to load after changing map.
