Guild Wars 2

Since the patch I have been experience an incredible amount of lag. Checking my ping via a site shows that my internet is perfect, yet GW2 is experience insane lag … any where.

I am also pretty sure I am not DLing any thing via the streaming content addition added, since I didn’t even begin playing until every thing had been successfully downloaded.

yep.. posted on reddit while ago.. seems to be going around.. whatever you did in this patch.. please undo it.. the game is currently unplayable

Yeah had the same in PvP tonight after patch. Might be linked to the streaming client somehow as now there is no option to turn it off completely (why Anet?)

This is my assumption as it’s the only thing that would effect connectivity. That said I DLed every thing before even attempting to play. So I don’t get why it would effect me if im not streaming.

Yes very spiky here. Ping has been going from 24 to over 900 sometimes, especially one zoning and loading new areas.
A quick ping test put my connection at 23ms rating of very good.

Yeah. It seems as though this is a problem for Anet, not an ISP.

tired tha problem, 1 month with this …

I’m having the same problem, it seems like the game is freezing up for a few hundred milliseconds any time it needs to pull up a new UI widget, and also for certain spell effects? Not sure how widespread it is, but you see it whenever a new window gets open in game, as well as during pvp combat. It’s nearly unplayable. Started happening after the patch today, and I’ve never seen anything like it previously (I have a very high end system (8 core, 32Gb memory, and a GeForce Titan) and nothing else running in the background).

hoping for an acknowledgement of the issue from Arenanet soon.. seems quite widespread to people in my guild too

Doing my fractal 50 today with this lag is going to be interesting . . . .

Yep getting ping spikes as well sicne patch and spell animation lag please fix this anet

I’ve been getting spikes for a long time… probably a month. We appreciate your game, anet, and it would be even more appreciated if you fixed this issue. Thank you.

Since the update my game is playable but it crashes every 10-15 minutes claiming that their is a network error and then completely closes the client along side lag spikes that lock the game up to have everything rush back all at once. Its getting slightly frustrating when doing events such as Vine Wrath and world bosses because I d/c before it finishes and then I don’t receive the credit for being there.
