The Observatory in EotM for some reason puts my gpu at 100% and 1 fps 75% of the time. I do full zerg fights in WvW no problem even world boss fights I’m fine. Just cant figure out why EotM Observatory is the only place this happens. Any ideas why just one spot in the game would do this? Thanks

Forgot to add when this happens after a couple minuets the screen goes black and I have to reset my computer I can not alt – tab out or anything.

run the game with -repair. sounds like you have a couple bad data files in the giant gw2.dat archive.

This happens also in other parts of the game such as in fractals (swamp) or pve areas.
It is also interesting to see, in my case, as the use of the two gpu I own is reduced to 7% -11% when two or more Zergs shown in WvWvW, and how the cpu is triggered close to 100%.

The Part in Bold is expected, as thats the DirectX API call that troubles us all.

It could be that your OS is corrupted – you may want to consider a re-install.
