Guild Wars 2

hello so i am playing guild wars everyday for the last 3+weeks (at least 2 pvp games per day). untill today i had 50+ fps on the lowest settings in the mist and it was around 40-50 in spvp depending on situations,thing is that it was more than playable for me.after today’s patch i have less than 20 fps in mist and other areas and i havent even tried pvp for obvious reasons. there are no changes to my system and every other game i tried (skyrim,dishonored,LoL,DmC) was the same as b4 so something goes wrong while i am playing guild wars .any idea whats going on? any help? anyone having the same issue?

is there anyone who can help me? or anyone that has the same problems… if you do pls reply since this makes the game unplayable to me and no matter how many games i try , programmes or test there is no change to how my rig performs, only guild wars has problems…

1st off, you can’t really compare gw2 to others games, this one uses way more resources than most. 2nd, please post your system specs. And 3rd, I was thinking that the fps on the Mac client was awesome today, way better than it was before. I’m liking whatever they are fixing. Normally, we get the worst performance due to a cider wrapper port, no direct x, and our client requires twice the resources just to run.

So, post your specs and maybe someone can try and help you out

maybe i wasnt clear enough. i didnt actually compared it to these games what i wanted to say is that i have this sudden fps drop only in gw2 and all my other games work like they did before so by 99,9% is not hardware issue.

my specs:
core 2 duo 2.66 e6750
2 gb ram
ati 4890 hd
on win7 32 bit

i know nothing good but on a 1650×1050 resolution using the best performance settings it was stable over 45fps now it barely gets to 15 without me moving or using skills, it drops below 10 when i strafe or use skills

Does lowering your graphics settings increase your performance?

2nd, are you monitoring your system temps (CPU & GPU)? If not, I highly recommend you download an app that can do this and check your temps after your system has sat idle for about 10-15 minutes, then test it again after running the game for 10-15 minutes. Post the before and after values for both CPU and GPU.

(and I kind of agree with tage a bit, performance tends to decrease during high population events, but let’s test things anyway)

the difference between the best and the worst settings is 5-10 fps. so without moving i have 8 at high and 15 at low while moving i have 3-5 at high and 8-10 at low.i am constantly monitoring my temps with real temp, gpu never goes over 75 degrees and cpu at 70 degrees,since i have it set to warn me when they hit these numbers and they dont ,no matter how long i play … as for population i dont think is that high at 7am gmt+2(blacktide server).No matter how i look at it the only thing that propably created the issue was the small patch it did when i tried to log in this morning.

One thing i find odd is that when the game was running i checked the cpu usage and it was around 45-50% i have a feeling that it was and due to my spec it should be at 90-100%.Althought both cores are used normally.

any help???. second straight day with the same problems. i re-install the game got the latest beta amd drivers , and still gw2 fails. also i have tried every test there is so my prob is not hardware based.if dragon bash is the problem ,it seems that it will be up until july 9. if i have to w8 untill the end of it i will give my account to a pc-rocket user since only them can play the game without problems….

Have you tried deleting your local.dat file? It’s located in my documents/guild wars 2. Have you tried repairing the client by appending " -repair" (everything within the quotes, but not including the quotes) to a new gw2.exe shortcut? Right click on the new shortcut icon, go to properties and add space dash repair to the end of the path. Is windows 100% up to date, including the optional updates? Direct x too? Have you made sure your ati control program isn’t interfering with it?

Have you tried filing a ticket?

Seriously, threatening to give your account away to a “pc rocket user” is lame considering no one is bolstering your complaints here. No one is agreeing that they have issues on here (some in other threads have, but not adding to this one claim), you are one person in thousands. Have you searched around the forum looking for things to try to improve your performance or were you waiting for someone to hold your hand? If you couldn’t find help here and no one else is experiencing “your” specific issue, didn’t you consider that it might be time to file a ticket and get help just for you?

You’ve only been at it for 2 days, hardly much time to be threatening leaving if it’s not fixed. Be glad you’re not on a Mac waiting months for any word at all, slugging through rough performance and glitchy hawks, only to realise they only care when you can’t give them money. The game is young and they are testing optimisations to work with the unlimited combinations of system specs out there, give them a chance, learn self-help or find out how to get the help you need…

Sheesh, go to us.ncsoft.com/gameadvisor, install that, then file a ticket and attach the file game advisor gives you, or run the shortcut with " -diag" appended to it and attach that. (game advisor is probably what you want though) And I’m a Mac user! We don’t even have these options!

Maybe post back whatever fixes your issue if you find anything that does.

(sorry for seeming snippy, but you’re getting terribly frustrated and it didn’t seem like you tried anything on your own or read around on the forums at all, but were expecting results now)

first of all ty for your help.now:
1. if my post kitten ed you that much u dont really have to reply.:)
2.english is not my first language,still no matter how many times i read my post after your reply i still believe that i didnt threaten anyone, and i am not crazy to expect that anyone would care about it even if i did.
3. my dx is up to date windows too,amd drivers, mobo drivers and prety much anything that doesnt have to do with the game itself is updated and checked multiple times.
4.as for the rest of the fixes i havent tried them, i saw them on other post but they seeme to work for a different kind problems.
5 .have u ever try send a ticket to any game company while your system doesnt meet the recommended specs?it goes like this : ‘’pls send us ur specs’‘…. after 3 days ’’ due to the fact that the X part is not up to the recomended specs it is expected that you may have x,y,z problems’’ ignoring the fact that i have allready used the game for a long time without such problems.
6.it is a common secret that even high end pc’s are having real issues handle the game specially on wvw , i am frustrated but still what i said its not exactly wrong …
7. its a fact that mac users had even worst time than pc users, so what ??? i should happy that the game doesnt work now simply because u have a worst time than me ? that’s a sadistic way of thinking

Well if you havent changed anything in your system, hardware or software wise, it’s not in your end. Check the forums regularly there is always some people who complains about frame drops after each patch… This is fixed with the next patch for some while it screws others’ experience. So you will have to wait for Anet to fix it in the next patch which will be 25th of June (major patch) if not fixed before. Therefore you posting your specs or temps etc will not change anything as long as system is working fine with other applications & games and not with Gw2. (These all assume that you have changed absolutely nothing in your system.)

i haven’t … and i tried the ’’repair’’ now i can only send a ticket or hope for a fix…
