Guild Wars 2

Changed the Topic from “LAG in Events” to “Culling in Events” to reflect the true issue.

I seem to be having trouble seeing groups of mobs in high density events. I can see the players and their name plates but the NPC and name plates show up “load” late or I don’t see them at all.

The problem started about two week ago. This only happens in high density areas during events. For example the events that are at Penitent waypoint and Shelter’s Gate waypoint when there are 7 or more players.

I have tested my FPS with Fraps while the problem is happening.

Performance: 90 to 135FPS
Auto Detect: 80 to 90 FPS
Maxed out: 65 to 80 FPS

The game runs smooth as Silk.
This seems to be related to the slew of network lag issues that are posted in this forum as of late.

Specs:
Windows 8 X64
32G of 2333 DDR
3930k at 4.7G per core up to 4.8G when pushing the system
2 GTX 580’s in SLI – latest WHQL from nVidia
2 Performance Pro SSD’s in RAID 0 – Close to a GIG in transfers
Intel Pro GIG NIC
40X20 Fiber Pipe with extremely low latency – no blocked ports

Tested in other MMO’s with no issues.

While there are some network lag issues being reported, it seems that you are experiencing culling issues. There is a patch coming at the end of the month to address culling. Hopefully this fixes everyone’s problems.

Ps nice system

That explains it. I did a quick search and found a ton of info. Unfortunately I was not able to find anything for removing or reducing culling in PvE, a lot on RvR though.

Thank you for the reply.

I take back stating that I can’t find anything on culling and PvE. Here, is a post for removing culling from PvE.
