Guild Wars 2

2 things I’ve noticed very quickly.

1- textures on the owl flying in WvW are stretched to the edges of the screen and flickering

2- client disconnected after 5 minutes of playing, perhaps it’s just coincidental.

I noticed the “fluttering birds”, not just owls. No d/cs though.

Noticed the same.

I don’t get DCs sometimes i receive network error messages but I don’t think the network error message are directly related to the mac client.

I do notice the fluttering birds, also sometimes my World Map is laggy

Same on the fluttering birds. Haven’t noticed any discons.

My fps has drastically been decreased after this patch… I was hitting 55+ now I’m hitting 17 maybe 20 at the most..

Yeah I confirm, same on fluttering birds, and lag in World Map.

Lots of lag in world map. My game is crashing every now and then, but I don’t think that it’s necessarily exclusive to this patch. It’s kind of always crashed now and then.

Anyone got any solutions for the fluttering bird syndrome?

I’ve got the weird birds issue, they look like they twinkle light beams across the screen. I can confirm that this is a Mac issue. My hubs and I were playing in the same room and his pc had no issues at all with it.

Since the patch, I have been getting a whole new variety of crashes:

1. Lots of “model has an unexpected reference count. A serious error has occurred… Report sent.” while running in WvW, particularly when our zerg is about to encounter another Zerg… And oddly enough, I’m noticing it more when we encounter kainang. (not so much against fort aspenwood). I’ve had this happen about 8 times in the last hour.

2. “arena=default, cat=gr, allocbytes=522880, arenabytes=299699648’ fallbackbytes=120377574, align=16
A serious error… Report sent.” has occurred just a couple times. This occurred while our group jumped into water from Overlook on eb.

Both of these problems occurred at EB. #1 more so than 2. Each time after crashing, it takes an insanely long time to reload the game into a zone… About 3 mins of sitting on the loading screen. And of course, I’ve experienced more lag due to the loading of more info. But I figured that would happen considering the changes made. So e crashing is more the issue for me. I have frame limiter on to 30.

These are the huge bugs I’ve had. Has anyone else seen either of these?

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Oops vid card is:

AMD radon had 6750m 512mb

As mentioned in another thread I’m also getting major lags in WvW since the patch. Never had any problems whatsoever before. Only time I had a little lag was fighting big dragons but that is normal I assume.
Please Anet fix WvW for us Mac users. It’s almost unplayable now for me.
But then I wonder if they even read the threads in this area

Yea same here. The flying ambient creatures in the game seem to show a beam of light every time they fly. I saw this in wvw and reported the bug to AN.
