Guild Wars 2

Hey,

I used to be able to play Guild Wars 2 on high settings just fine. Ever since I reformatted my SSD, the game has had low FPS. The game even automatically readjusted the graphics settings to low/med, and my FPS is still very low.

-The game was not on my SSD, but on my HDD. It ran fine before I reformatted my SSD, so I don’t think that should be the problem.
-I still have all the data that was on my HDD, but since I reinstalled Gw2, I don’t think it really matters.

Things I’ve tried:
-Making sure GPU is up-to-date.
-Deleting certain files such as: Local.dat and gw2temp.
-Running the client in win7/8 compatibility mode.
-Repairing the client – redownloading and reinstalling it.
-Disabled “Windows Search”

Specs:
GTX 970
16 GB Ram
i5-4570
MSI MS-7817
Windows 10

Any help would be appreciated.

Same Problem for me. Help us pls. I think problem is Windows 10. but i dont know how i fix.

Same for me but im on win 8.1,i think it’s gw2 related..That fps issue started happening for me some weeks ago.I reformatted my pc today and my fps is still wonky,also the issue where my graphics are being set to low/med after a fresh install,whereas before it suggested to run high/ultra.

I was able to get mines working. Apparently, I didn’t have the latest GPU driver installed, but I installed it through NVIDIA GeForce Experience. After that was done, I let NVIDIA GeForce Experience detect all the games that was on my PC and let it “optimize” Guild Wars 2. After that Guild Wars 2 started running fine.

I have bit better machine then you OP I7 / gf 980 16 gb ram … and i struggle to maintain 40 fps… spmetimes its unplayeble (5 fps ) Dunno if its Gw2 problem or Win10 .. Config in game i use dosnt matter from Lowest to Ultra nothing changes i really have no idea.
Nvidia Experience Optimalization puts all on max but when i enter in game its freaking 1-9 fps feast.

ummm, you should list your ssd….. not all ssd are good. Some are utter garbage like kingston now 300

LoserIdiot is right, I was a victim of that SSD but it didnt negatively impact my GW2 FPS at all. Maybe a half second to a second more in load times, depending on the zone.

What gen i7? The first gens with their weaker IPC and slower Core Clocks? Struggling to maintain 40 sounds about right if so.

Though 5fps does make me think of another problem. Are they quick dips to 5FPS or do they stay around there in certain areas?

Might want to download GPU-Z, start up GW2 and then GPU-Z and take a screenshot like this

And monitor the temps of your 980.

I solved my Problem… it was Aniversery update for win 10.. reinstaling sound drivers fixed my fps back to 90-120
