Guild Wars 2

Hello I started to get map lag with the halloween patch. Basically it just lags on the map only and it is a bugger to say pick a waypoint or my fav run around using the map to explore for lazy travel. This happens about half the time where as before the halloween event never had this before.

Am I the only one?

Nope. Happens to me too, though not every time. But when it does, it’s super-annoying.

I too am having really bad map-lag though I’ve noticed an interesting thing: when I first launch the game both my map and overall game FPS are great but, over a short span of time (maybe 30 mins), both my FPS and my map (via lag) start to grind down to a near halt. A quick relaunch of the game usually clears this up though there have been a couple of occasions when only a full reboot would return performance. Also, this problem was, for me at least, not event prior to the October patch.

Perhaps a memory-leak for the Mac client?

FWIW I play GW2 on a 2012 MacBook Pro, 15" retina, Ethernet connected (meaning not wifi which, for me, would introduce it’s own unique set of problems.

I experience the same as janmaitland. Performance is usually quite good for some time, and then appears to degrade over time, definitely feels like some kinda memory leak. I’m on a late-model 2010 iMac.
