I’ve had to stop playing the game because of the awful fps eg, 14fps in LA and that ascalon fractal ‘slideshow’ 8fps to 15 fps and the others i’m always around less than 20 fps playing makes me feel ill and get headaches. Such a shame as i waited 5 years for this game I don’t get it I’ve tried everything on that stickied checklist and get the same poor performance, I’d blame my pc but i can run skyrim and other modern games on max settings 60fps np whatsoever : / No expansion for me until there’s some miracle optimization patch (here’s hoping).

Just a quick edit that above performance is settings all on low and lod on low it’s just silly.

Omino .. what cpu do you have?

omino.4302:

Intel Core I5-3570 Processor

You have a good CPU, but claim bad fps. Should be getting 50-60fps with dips to 30s occasionally in LA. I have a 3570k and it works well. Something is wrong with your setup.

Nothing wrong with my set up all my other games ‘far cry 3 etc’ runs perfectly why would my set up be wrong for 1 game?

You have a i5-3570, but get 14fps when other people can get much higher. Obviously something is wrong with your setup whether it be settings, driver profiles or software config or whatnot.

Every game is different, just because another game works fine doesn’t mean something isn’t wrong. That kind of deductive reasoning is flawed.

omino.4302:

If there’s no chance they will optimize gw2 before any ideas of releasing expansions then i think any expansion will sell very poorly in comparison to gw2 mainly because it seems everyone having low fps problems with more than capable pc’s will have to upgrade JUST to play reasonably when they can run all other games perfectly fine : ( No chance in hell im upgrading my perfectly fine pc just to run 1 game better and I guess i won’t be the only 1 thinking that.

Don’t hold your breath waiting.

A Google search on GW2 performance issues finds articles with much of the same complaints we have today dating back to pre-release beta uses in March 2012!

At this point I’m rather doubtful that this game will ever get ‘fixed’.

Yes, GW2 could use some optimization, but Omino’s problem is more due to his unwillingness to troubleshoot, and rather whine about it in multiple threads. He has a high end i5-3570, but get 14fps in LA? Most people with that cpu would pull 30-60fps. Even my older Q6600 can pull off 20-30fps.
