Guild Wars 2

Hi since the update of June 23 the loading process is very slow again, before the update it was quite normale but now it’s even worse then before the update that solves the slow loading screens. Its even that worse if i want to play and change map i can alt tab, browse some facebook and then go back and its almost done loading.

I havent changed a bit to my computer! but it happend after the GW2 update.

I dont know what information would help to give you a clue?

But im using windows 8.1

Assuming you have the game installed on a normal hard drive and not an SSD, the main data file is likely highly fragmented after a major patch, broken up and spread all around the drive. This causes extra movement of the disk drive read/write head which is slow relative to how fast data can be read which can significantly slow down read speeds from the hard drive.

Using a 3rd party free defragmenting tool like Auslogics DiskDefrag or Piriform’s Defraggler can significantly help improving read speeds. Also these tools allow you to defrag just a folder or a file as oppose to the entire drive.

I will try this option thank you for your reply i will let you know if it worked

It did not work, stil very very long loading screens…. And it said the drive did not need defragmentation, so i dont think that is the problem.

I have tried;
- reinstalling the game
- defraging the drive where its on

I could try to move it to my C drive since it is kitten… ? (why if i put SSD in small letters its called kitten?)
