Guild Wars 2

Had some issues with GW2 running properly on my machine. I went from max graphic settings with 60-110 FPS 2 months ago to running low settings with barely 25FPS now. PC less than a year old i7, 16ram, 680ti. I have updated all my drivers, done a sweep with antivirus, blown out my chasis….nothing

New issue. Last night I decided to uninstall GW2 last night and reload the 64 bit client. the DL went ok. I played a bit this morning and it crashed. Noticed that there is no shortcut on my desktop. I can only access GW2 by logging onto the website and it acts like its going to re-DL everything from scratch. Then a few seconds later it pops up (but there are no program files on my PC that I can find).

2 problems -
1 – How do I get a shortcut on my desktop again
2 – And please for the love of all that is Guild Wars – How can I get my FPS and graphics playable .

Ok .. first don’t start the client directly from the download page else you will
install into your temp-folder. So use “save as” and save it for example under
c:\games\gw2\gw2.exe
then create a shortcut to gw2.exe on your desktop and start it.
You may use the search function if you find gw2.dat still in your temp folder.
If so move it to where the exe is.

Second download GPU-z and check if your GPU runs @16x, if not reseating
mostly helps against contact problems.

I had the same problem last week, I usually run at around 50-60 fps and went down to 7. I tried just about everything but eventually just cleaned my gpu with an air duster and it worked. Maybe try cleaning it .-.
