Guild Wars 2

For those of you who are running on x64 bit systems, I’ve recently come across this small patcher which improved my FPS for Guild Wars 2 from average of 60 to roughly 70+, The program patches your gw2.exe to allow up to 4GB of ram instead of 2GB since its written in 32 bit. More memory means better texture loading, meaning more FPS and stable performance.

Anyway here’s the program i found on google http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php

To use it, simply run the program and target it at your gw2.exe then run the game as per normal, you only need to run it once (yontrio?)

Just thought i would share this with you guys out there who are using 64 bit systems. Feel free to comment on whether this patcher worked for you. Cheers

p.s. I have no idea if this would be against ANet’s TOS or not, so use at your own risk

Can someone else confirm if this work and also if this is allowed according to Anet’s TOS?

I would like to gain a few more fps here and there in lare fights but not going to get my account banned because of it.

AFAIK there is no anti-cheat system implemented in GW2, so they’d have no way of knowing anyway?

Do not use this, the flag has already been set for “App can handle >2gb adress space”, This is the same as the OP describes,but its not necessary since the gw2 engine already has the flag set to this.

I did see a frame rate increase from my regular 60 to 71 though, it sure helped me.

Placebo,the game already uses this flag.

Because they put the flag in the day after I first posted that very same fix, two days after launch.

For some reason I’m not seeing any performance increase, it did update though :/
