With every update that has been released since the 1 April Joke I get a FPS drop. (FPS 20 or less) . Normally I have 50 – 80 FPS. I have deleted and reinstalled the game 2 times now and everything was back to normal again. Until I get another update that makes my FPS drop again. I have changed nothing to the game or my laptop.

I’ve also noticed that I get an error message (Run as administrator user) when it’s downloading the update and then stops. After that I try again and succeed. Then I play the game and see that the FPS has dropped. Normally I never get that message (Run as administrator user).

Does anyone know why these updates cause so much trouble ?

Do you have Nvidia Optimus (feature that chooses when to run either the integrated gpu or the dedicated gpu)?

If so is the game running with the integrated gpu, after each update?

Because I am getting this problem. It started 2 updates ago when suddenly the GW2.exe decided to ask for admin permission (it never did for patching before). Then the game was running at 15-20 fps, so I checked which gpu was running and it was the integrated one.
I tried to run the exe with the high performance gpu in the context menu, I tried making sure the game was running the High Performance gpu in the Nvidia Control Panel. Nothing worked. So I reinstalled the game and it finally worked.

With yesterdays update it all happened again and GW2.exe is running with the integrated gpu and I am not going to reinstall the game after each update…

Edit: My drivers were and are updated.
