This is my surprised face:

:O

I’m not actually surprised. They removed culling before they fixed the reason we needed culling in the first place. Poorly scaling game engine scales poorly.

Sigh.

I don’t think you understand what culling is.

i meant enable/disable – culling is when they limit the amount of details on screen

You can enable it. Use the wvw culling options, they’re presently mislabled. The problem is why we need culling in the first place.

It’s still there… WvW Character Limit, WvW Character Quality under Graphic Options.

The removal of culling is like a cop giving a speeder some nitro for his car.

The removal of culling while good on paper is just stupid since most systems will not be able to play with the level of character detail that they are used too.

I went from 45+fps in LA to 20ish fps in LA with Highest/Highest setting in the WvW tab(lol wvw tab for pve…..) Playing around with the settings didn’t seem to really matter for detail but the amount of culled characters did make a noticeable change. I was a 60fps on Lowest/Lowest.

Why in the hell would you remove culling for PvE when people are having performance issues? Why make them tied to WvW settings?

FIX YOUR GOD kitten ENGINE before you start placing the onus of settings onto the end user.
GW2 is and will always remain the worst optimized game out there and it will always remain that way.
Expect 0 performance updates. Getting new hardware will not garner any significant results since GW2 doesn’t utilize current and last gen hardware to it’s potential.

Since clockwork chaos patch, the game is unplayable I cant stay loged on for more than 10 sec without getting dc, I assumed it was my net but on other online games I have no issues. Would be nice to get a explanation to why this is happening , this is very frustrating.

Was fine for me this morning, but has gotten progressively worse as the day went on. If I had to guess I would say it feels like a memory leak slowly degrading the performance. If it gets any worse I may as well be playing slideshow wars 2. Please fix this!

Guys… have you all look into your setting before you do complain about Culling gone yes it will decrease your performances but it’s not gone.

Culling system is always there, BUT now it allows you to control it on CLIENT side instead of SERVER side…

My settings and FPs in LA (busy LA)
MAX & Supersampling Except Reflections on terrain and Sky.
Culling: Highest characterl imit. Medium Texture Limit (same options i always use for WvW)
Resolution 3200×1800 downsampling.

FPS in Busy LA: 35-60.
Not as smooth as it used to be (55-60), but so long as its above 30 i can deal with it.

I agree though they NEED to split PvE and WvW culling options. but more importantly…they NEED to sort their game Engine out, its soo poorly optimised for the job thats being asked of it.

This. The patch notes said “server side culling”. Didn’t say anything about client-side culling though, and according to some people, the WvW culling settings in the options also affect PvE culling.

If anything, this is better. Why artificially limit players with a server restriction, instead of letting them control the level of detail theirself? If I want to see everyone at any time and get 10 FPS, let me :p

You got it the other way around. Before it was server side, now it is client side. Look at the screenie, those option were there for WvW only before this week patch.

What Anet did was implement the same option from WvW to PVE world now. They also corrected the option typo by removing “WvW”.

If you play around those 2 settings, it’s the same way how previous culling works. Since many people see drop of performances because those setting at at default “High”. The server side culling was at “Medium”. Server side culling did not have “Quality” option before these 2 options exist month ago for WvW only.

Have you guys try to clear Local.dat file? It will reset your Graphic setting to default.

It’s still there… WvW Character Limit, WvW Character Quality under Graphic Options.

Too bad it doesn’t work.

I used to get solid 55 to 60fps looking at the forge from the Lion’s Arch bank.

Now even when those settings are set to low, I can barely get mid 30s. I have an i5 3570k OC to 4.4 and a gtx 670 which is well above average for specs. I shudder to think what mid to low end systems will be like.

The place with the worst possible performance to test, outside of WvW zergs, is the northern most waypoint in LA. go there, look towards the forge, zoom out as far as u can and see what u get.

The only thing I don’t really care for are all the name plates. I have them turned off but they still show for characters in the distance. I really don’t like seeing all the dang names cluttering up my views of LA!

Everyone check and post your CPU usage. I can’t get more than 20% on all 4 cores. There is some serious bottle-necking going on and changing any of the in game settings has 0 effect on performance.
