New patch huge improvement
I can confirm this. Got around 50% more FPS on my late 2009 iMac. Way to go, but a right step. Thanks!
same for me, feels better on higher settings
i envy you guys, on my mbp mid 2011 i still have to run the game on best perfomance settings, with max of 30 fps.
I have a late 2011 mbp and my frames are lower than they have ever been even on lowest gfx settings with my game crashing upwards of 6x per day. Lucky ;(
(To those with 2011 MBP’s, can I just recommend being careful – there is a manufacturing defect with our MBP’s that means you’re incredibly likely to have a GPU/Logic Board failure at some point :/ )

Lemme guess, Apple gives no kittens and has no intentions of replacing them or compensating us?

Yeah basically :S There is a petition and a FB group which have both had a lot of activity and last month there was a lot of media coverage about the issue on Apple tech blog sites. So hopefully there might be a recall/replacement program. But so far no word from apple. Despite the fact that almost everyone who has actually paid to get the issue fixed says that the issue comes back within weeks which means there isn’t actually a fix (we’re talking system crashes and major major screen glitches/tearing). We have two of the 2011 MBP’s in my house, one of them is now dead because of this and there was no way we were paying for a repair that probably wouldn’t last so we ended up replacing it with a new MBP – which is a huge expense – and the other is the one I use to play GW2 and I’m just sincerely hoping it doesn’t die until there is some kind of replacement program in place. Fingers crossed…
Ooooh, I’m going to update my client and check it out. I hope I’ll see some improvements. Thanks for the heads up.
EDIT: Just wanted to confirm that I’m getting far better frame rates now. Mine still run a bit low because I’m on a really old laptop, but it’s actually playable now. I hope anet continues to make improvements like this! <3

Mine too. MBPr 2012, got 100% frame rate on medium settings (no reflection). On low setting (post processing and shading set to low) got 60+ fps. Previously 60+ was impossible with everything set to low.

oh man… first i find out that the battery issue i have on my iphone 5 is also a factury issue, and now this!
I think it’s a sign from the heavens
Have used my 2011 mbp for 2yrs now, mostly decent though the o key’s broken, partly my fault and that’s made the u and i keys pretty bad recently as well… Hope my mbp lasts a long time (Have had a better experience with it than any PC or laptop)
no use for this if they keep making lousy patches, so far this update has been the worst ever, tp = crash crash crash. The old tp never crashed my game!
