Guild Wars 2

Every skill button I press, or dodge, is happening 1-1.5 seconds after I hit the key. Major delay. New as of this patch, everything was fine yesterday. Yes my internet and PC are Fine.

I live in Pacific coast Canada.

Seconded. Playing from Asia and my ping is good, yet it feels like 300-500ms ingame.

same problem here. Never had lag untill the patch.
I live in malaysia with fiber connection.
Hope anet fix it asap.
its unplayable with this lag.

Trying to see if downloading a fresh .dat file will help but I doubt it.

Same thing for me here in Brazil! its unplayable

Having bad skill delay in california /ip is 64.25.33.71:0

Same here. Having terrible skill delay and frequent disconnections.
Also, from California.

My internet speed is normal, tested with speedtest, yet skill lag is so horrible.

Same issue here, from Singapore.

Looks like its not limited to SEA region then…

Having the exact same issue happening here too, and from BC Canada.

Same, the lag im getting feels like 300+ ping or packet loss lag but when i checked both, they were fine. It is certainly server side. Im from South East US btw, alabama to be specific.

I am also from BC Canada and am having this 1-1.5 second skill delay. Didn’t start until the patch today and now it’s just constant.

Re-downloaded brand new .dat file, 19 GB. Nope, did not fix.

(also from BC Canada)

Same here, also from BC Canada, honestly, WvW is unplayable in this state:(

Yeap…..major lag. I won’t mind if it’s less than 0.5s delay ( I might twitch but tolerable ). But when it’s more than 1s skill lag…it becomes annoying. I be from Malaysia. Please fix it…pretty please.

Also having bad skill lag since patch making wvw virtually unplayable :/
I’m in Florida with ip: 64.25.38.200:0

Seems like the lag and delay is gone.

yea, seems like fixed.

the lag is gone in regular maps but in wvw it is still atrocious for me at least

It’s absolutely terrible. I’m seeing this as well:

Framerates have absolutely plummeted for me. They’re bad even when I’m alone in my home instance. Compared to pre-patch, which ran like butter, this game now looks like a 2008 game and runs like a 2015 game. How the hell do you guys continue to screw things up this bad?

I went into WvW and was running with a fairly typical person group and was barely breaking 10 fps. In a zerg battle, slideshow. It was so bad that at one point every single person actually disappeared from my screen (no, it wasn’t mass invis or a veil, lol) for 5 seconds and then suddenly popped back in.

I use process lasso, so GW2 is always running at above normal priority. Shutting down process lasso to see if it was the culprit did not solve anything.

My game experience is not a pleasant one anymore. Do you guys stress test any of this garbage at all or do you just wing it and pray everything works?

The update has completely nuked my FPS. Where I used to be doing 30-40 FPS (Hoelbrak for instance) I’m now doing 10-20 FPS. I even tried out “best performance” mode and can only get it to run at 26 FPS. The only way I can top 30 FPS is by looking directly at the floor in this mode.

Game’s basically become unplayable at anything other than “best performance” and even then in WvW hitting an enemy zerg the framerate drop makes it impossible.

Using an Nvidia 660M 2GB video card, and an i7 CPU.

Radeon R9 290x here, pretty much top of the line. 5ghz 7850k AMD CPU. So it’s not brand or card specific, both of us are essentially using opposite hardware.

Effin’ solid work, Anet.

Also, very bad skill lag and rubber-banding in San Francisco bay area. Running core i5 and GTX760 definitely new since patch….

I’m seeing it as well. For example, on my mesmer running with focus. I’ll start running target the temporal curtain out in front of me and I’ll run by where I clicked and then the curtain will show up behind me. I’m putting it plenty far out in front of me when I click.

This has happened with Staff’s Chaos Storm as well. I target right in front on an enemy and CS doesn’t appear until he’s run all the way past it. This is messing up the new iLeap Sword as well. Sometimes the clone appears right away and others is seconds and I’m wasting the skill.

Live in Denver, never had this much issue before.

Having the same problem, the Netherlands on the EU servers. Between 0,2-0,5 sec skill/weapon switch delay. Also some rubberbanding when using shadowstep with thief shortbow 5. I notice this the most in WvW, and it seems fixed in PvE since last update. Internet should be fine here.

Is anyone still having this problem since the last update?

I am still having these issues in pve

Having immense lag issues in all aspects of the game. My net company even came over to check it out, running 59mbpss, 29 mbpsupload speed. All is perfect.

Ever since this patch I have been having crazy lag and only in GW2. Game is unplayable for me even with the /clientport 80. =(

WvW and PvP is currently unplayable for me. PvE is a bit random with the lag, sometimes I do not have any lag and sometimes I get a quick lag spike for a few seconds. My ISP says everything is normal and all tests I’ve run have shown me that it’s not a problem on my end. I simply just stare at people in PvP and WvW as everyone warps around while I try to activate any skill that will refuse to go off.

It’s litterary the difference between a win or a loss if you get server lag. :/
fps is fine though

Same problem here, the fps is fine (not worse than normal anyway), but playing is a chore, with wvw being literally unplayable, because of what appears to be terrible lag; despite the connection being fine.

same here im having crazy delays and my internet is fine and fps is good like always. Hope it fixes soon i cant enjoy wvw at all since i lag out and die

Same here. Lag, rubberbanding, skills sometimes not working, and DC’s from time to time. Tried various settings, but still unplayable. Before 9/9 game runs smooth.

same here. FPS lag is killing me x_x

I have had no problem before patch, now its unplayable. RIP my PC x_x

Same here… used to run between 55 an 65 fps… after the patch its 28 to 32… but I can live with 30 fps… that lag tho! At least 1-2 seconds…

Same here. Consistent 2 second lag on skill and tequatel is impossible it just crashes out. UK here. BT.

Same here, 1-3 seconds of skill lag in all game mods.

I really would like a response to this, its making this game unplayable.

I’m having all of the above, skills are cycling through and unable to cast, guildies say I am casting and bouncing all over. Rubber banding/skill lag/generally slower game performance, in addition to a few dc’s.

It’s terrible. Between error 7 and lags, the game has become surprisingly unstable. Disconnections in sPvP are a nightmare.

What I’m seeing is actually a huge delay between my actions and what actually seems to have occurred on the server. For example, I pulled an eviscerate on someone, and it looked like it should have landed, but after it finished and my character returned to its normal running anim, the other player dodged and I got the “evade” text. This has actually been the most frustrating thing for me — since I don’t know how delayed my actions are, fights have been ludicrous messes. And it’s not just for me. I dodged an earthshaker and some guy whispered me saying I was cheating because he saw it land and I dodged after. I’ve had guild members with similar results. This sort of sluggish, sloppy feeling to combat is terrible, and whatever effin “performance improvements” you guys did, roll them back. They’re clearly untested, and sadly I am reminded all over again of the mess the April 15th patch caused, and how you have utterly failed to learn anything from it. It appears all the comments on glassdoor.com are true — everything appears to be rushed out at the last minute, and then we’re left with a broken mess for weeks and sometimes months and with some things, forever. You still haven’t even managed to fix simple things like the deep strike trait and yet manage to continually break things that worked perfectly fine before and push out content as if nothing’s wrong.

I feel like I’m playing a game from 2012, that looks like a game from 2008, that runs like a game from 2015 on 2001 hardware. Get your isht together.

First time posting, thought this was so bad that I had to contribute so something is actually done about it, ever since the patch I’ve been experiencing delays in the game, 1-2 seconds which only seems noticeable during combat making it terrible, frames are fine and the latency is fine. So what gives?

Same here, having horrible frame rate around any area…i cant run 3 feet wihout having this stutering graphic behavior and all started after this build.
Thing is, i double checked my pc performance, checked if was an issue with my GPU, checked if was memory issues, checked anything hardware related that could came into my mind and nothing. Checked also any posible software related problem into my PC and its perfect.
Any one heard about an official possition about this problem?
Would be nice to know im not the only one experiencing this… wich its killing my experience of the game and its making me not want to play it anymore…
Any one ?

Same skill/ability delay here!

Seems like they fixed the fps issue… after the latest hotfix my fps went back up to 60+

Just had a random DC though, but the lag seems less frequent now.

Same results as before patch. Still laggy and as a bonus i got 3 times code 7 in 10 minutes.
It would be kind, if we can get an official statement when it will be fixed.
In this state the game is barely playable.

Mostly fixed…. but randomly I will have a period of low fps and skill lag before going back to normal, lasting like 5 minutes or so.

Ugh, it’s always the same story with any major patch.

Currently 1s delay on everything, even chat. The TP is just nervewrecking; huge loading times, if it loads at all. Selecting some tabs also takes its kitten time.

I guess I’ll wait for “that” patch to fix all this BS, then I’ll be back playing.

my D/D ele burning speed skill blast before move, pls fix this!!!! ty

8 seconds lag, can´t press any buttons etc. Much fun.

Playing from Asia, having major skills lags and rubberbanding since new patch. Please fix ASAP.
