Guild Wars 2

Hello folks.
So I had my first try at sPvP. Not I have not had any issues prior to this with sprites.

When I got into the map, I see the enemy and I try to attack. All my projectiles go some random place and I get a message saying “Obstructed” even though the enemy appears front of me. After about 5 seconds, the actual sprite of my enemy loads at the correct spot which is where my projectiles were going to.

I have a 1GB Radeon 6570 which is more than sufficient to run the game and a quad core processor.

I do play on the lowest settings however, so is there anything in the settings that I can touch to fix the issue? I’ve never had sprites not loading in PvE. Just happens in PvP maps.. Sometimes it’ll load the sprite at an older position or sometimes it just takes too long to load so I’m dead by the time I see the enemy..

Radeon 6570 is rather low end card. What is your CPU and GPU % usage? Using SSD?

http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/tech/FPS-GPU-CPU-Performance-issues-FAQ/first#post504481 Q5 shows you how to check. But read the other Q’s likely it will help you understand better.

P.S post your full system spec helps troubleshooting better.

Thanks for the link. I checked out my CPU load and it looks like the issue is with my CPU

GPU load is not too bad, it operates under 45 degrees and max load is less than 40%. But my CPU is a Core 2 Quad so it’s quite outdated. All the 4 cores have a load of about 60-70% when I’m in sPvP.

Is there a work around for loading the sprites quicker? At this point, sPvP is simply unplayable for me because I can’t see the enemy

Get new hardware or overclock your C2D.

I’m runing Q6600 @3.2ghz overclocked.

Everyone is getting slow rendering issue no matter the hardware they got its an issue withing the engine itself, i think anet is working to fix that. The problem is probably worst on slower hardware.
