Guild Wars 2

Hello i really dont understand this, i’ve played guildwars2 like 3 months ago or so, on highest graphics, then i stopped for some time, now i would like to play again. But suddenly i only have 60 fps on lowest graphics, 30 on medium and 20 on highest. Really makes no sense at all. My battery power is running on full performance, ive tried to change the solution and stuff, but still low fps.

Here are my CPU speccs, compared to the minimum. As you see, it really, really, really shouldnt be a problem.. If anyone could help i would be grateful! :-).

laptops suck for playing modern games.

I had this same problem pop up for me as well with 4FPS all of a sudden. I did some fooling around and realized windows 7 updated this morning and was the most likely to cause the problem. Updated my GPU and presto, fixed the low FPS. I suggest looking at your drivers and finding any possible updates like I did. Hope this helps!

after dragon bash update my fps went from 40-50 down to 15-20. nothing changed on my part. and got friends with the same problem. so think its on anets end.
theyll prob get it fixed sooner or later

Its probaly arena net, dont really know. Just as the game came out i could play it perfectly on highest graphics with 100 fps, but then for some reason when i came back 2 month later, i suddenly had the 10-20 fps. God kitten i hate this haha

ive litteraly done nothing the past 2 days than trying to figure out what was wrong. games kinda unplayable like this :S which sucks

If your OP was in WvW in a battle with 2 large zergs, those FPS you said were right in line with what you should expect. If its just open world PvE (not large dynamic events) then yes, there is a problem. I would first try installing the latest graphics drivers which can be found here:

Just a reminder to everyone out there…the minimum specifications are there to let you know what hardware will actually launch the game, having hardware above this minimum does not guarantee you any good performance from the game. Although we expect it, we don’t always get it.

gw2 is very poorly optimized…and laptops are for work, not videogames

My system is considered a medium/low performance gaming PC and even higher spec systems have issues with the game. There is really nothing that you or anyone with the exception of Anet can do to make the game run better.
