Hello, I thought it might be helpful to share this problem I’m having.
I usually run GW2 at 45-50 FPS (which is amazing, and I’m grateful for it – my laptop is a heap of junk, and back in beta my FPS was never over 15. You guys did an amazing job!).
However my FPS decreases to 30-35 when I am looking at fire (simply moving the camera fixes the issue). At first I thought this is because of that awesome looking distortion effect that I can see when animations are set to Medium or Higher, but testing it with animations set to low have revealed that that effect is not the issue – even without it my FPS drops by the same amount. I have tried lowering the setting but this happens with all possible settings.
The game remains playable (which is great), but there are a lot of fires in WvW and that’s where my FPS greatly suffers. I hope you guys can find a fix for this.
I have included a screenshot with a good location to test this and my usual graphical settings and my dxdiag.
