Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been playing GW2 since release. Got a few bugs now and then but nothing alarming.

However, since the halloween update, tons of issues came up.

I can’t go into story mode or dungeons – npcs, mobs, dialogue bubbles, terrain element go invisible. I can still target them, but they do not appear on my screen.

Before the update, everything was fine – I’m used to running dungeons with my guildmates.

Updated my graphic adapter drivers to see if it helps but nope. (Using Nvidia 310.33 beta – was using a stable build before).

Submitted quite a number of error reports, but… well…

System info
Core i7 2670 QM 2.20Ghz
6 GB Ram
Win 7 64bits
GeForce GT 525M

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After last night’s update, instances seem to be running fine – in fact even better than before.

However dungeon experience is still horrible. The intro cinematic won’t load. If I close the game by force and reenter the dungeon, travelling is impossible. Freezes every 10 steps or so.

Not sure if anyone has the same problem, but if there is, has any of you noticed a performance improvement after the last patch?

I have similar problems but in WvWvW. I run this game since start and although I had some few lags in pvp because of my poor pc, I never had such HUGE lags after the last updates.. More complained also even with much betters pcs than mine.

It’s not exactly a lag per se. Lagging would imply getting the data after some delay.

My game just completely freezes at some point – cinematics. Elements aren’t displayed on the screen (mobs, npcs) even after waiting, let’s say, 30 minutes.

Ever since the update I have also been having issues. Its not really a Frame rate thing its more of a slight pause – then like super speed to catch up – studder – catch up.

This has only started happening after the update and its made it nearly impossible to play. As i said my frame rates are typically 70+ capping at 120.

I’m running:

i7-2600
geforce 560TI
16gigs of ram and I’m liquid cooled. I could use any help available – this is beyond frustrating.

I have also had serious performance losses after the most recent patch. I’m getting lower fps, higher load times, AND an input-lag-like issue that really detracts from gameplay. I was able to run everything pretty decently before, especially still have great frames inside instances, but now my GPU is struggling and I’m getting much more lag.

Previously – GPU Usage 60-90% (inside dungeon) FPS – 48-60 (VSync on)
Now – GPU Usage 90-99% (inside dungeon) FPS 30-45 (VSync on)

Really sad about this new patch :\

Are ANet’s staff looking into the matter or are we just being ignored? =/

ANet has been silent about most performance issues since the release. I doubt they are ignoring the issues, though they surely aren’t doing everything they can about them. I’m a bit bitter I will admit… had to quit the game because of constant black screens and an unresponsive mouse. And I can tell you that the problems were definitely on their end. Instead of fixing them though, they focus on coming out with holiday-themed content.

its proply going to get worst when xmas comes around. and thankgiving etc.
