Guild Wars 2

I normally run this game with 35+ fps with all highest possible settings but overnight something was changed and i now run with >10fps on lowest possible settings i tested other games to check if it was my hardware bf3, dishonoured and shogun 2 are all running perfectly fine at their highest settings so idk what happened with guild wars 2 but please undo ;( also drivers are fine and temperatures are fine

forget to add my sound crackles too now

I’ve been reading a lot of topics around the net hoping to find solutions for my issue with GW2. Surprisingly, I am not alone!

I’m able to run my other games fine just like before and its just GW2 that acted up today. What the hell is going on?

I do not plan to upgrade my rig for just one game as I’ve said, I’m still able to play my other games at 60 fps with vsync on.

I’m very sure this is a client issue rather than a hardware issue. I’m doing a fresh install of GW2 right now and the latest NVIDIA drivers are ready too for installation. I hope this would fix the problem I have. Otherwise, Arenanet, you need to fix this, undo whatever you’ve done overnight.

Thanks

having the same problem just made a post about this had a massive performance loss overnight and there hasnt even been a patch bf3 and dishonoured are running fine too

No problems here.

This also happened to me today, my game froze, i restarted and ever since my fps has been dropping when ever i move. After awhile npcs turn all black and all my tooltips are glitched out.

So I’m done with a new install of the game. It’s still the same. Let me try with the newest drivers from NVIDIA. kitten #8230; crossing my fingers…

Same here. I just upgraded my nvidia drivers 3 day’s ago and it helped my performance a ton. I was playing fine last night but logged in tonight and can’t get over 20 fps. drops down in the teens for no reason. Normally I’d be in the 60’s or higher. What gives???

Ha, I thought the sound crackling was something at my end. Oh well, that’s (slightly) reassuring.

Ok, so for some really weird miraculous reason, I got it back up to normal! I’m 60 fps again no matter where I go!

Wtf is this. I’m happy I can play again but I’m afraid if it happens again, I really dont know what the source was.

What I did after the reinstall of the client was I uninstalled winrar, and 7-zip, just because I was getting an error with unpacking the nvidia drivers I just downloaded. I havent event installed the latest drivers yet.

Like what shorty said, what gives arenanet?

This is common, just gotta wait till it goes away. Your PC’s are fine, don’t worry.

its 1 day later and the problem still isn’t gone my sound crackles really bad and its as if i’m playing in slow motion =( again not a hardware or software problem it just happened out of nowhere

I really hope that it’s back to normal for me tonight. I wanted to pull a late night in wvw but it sucks when your frame rates drop in the single digits!

well looks like im not going to be able to participate in wvw opening night problem is still around check drivers, checked hardware, tried alternate OS compared other game performances wiped all drivers and reinstalled network is perfectly fine so this is 100 % gw2 sided :/

Bumping this because is the only topic i can find with my problem.

Same thing as the op, sudden fps drop overnight, sound crackles and overall i cannot play for no apparent reason.

Anyone knows any solution or if it really does turn back to normal magically?
