Guild Wars 2

For 1 week or so the character draw distance is somehow broken.NPC’s and players are popping up left and right from me and i can’t see NPC’s and players that are 10 meters away from me (only the ones that only popped up and were loaded).This was definetly not the case in the first week after the game went live.Or if you intentionally reduced the character draw distance please at least give us a slider for it.

I’m seeing some of that at times, but only in some of the busier areas. Are you seeing it all the time?

Not all the time i think and yeah,it’s worse in crowded areas.Still,it wasn’t a problem when the game released and everyone was in the starting zones.

I’ll just bump here, as i have the same issue, and in crowded areas its only more apparent, as you know there should be people when they arent there. I have this problem all the time at the moment running the latest drivers on 670 gtx. So the graphics card should not be an issue, also i have a i5 series processor and those arent too bad either, and 8g ram. So hardware wise it should not be a problem.

At the moment i pretty much cant play pvp, its kinda turning me off from the game as in the beta and pre access it ran way better than it does now on my pc.

Fix this please!

Yeah, happens to me too. It damages the inmersion.

Still no fix ?!???

If you check your HDD light as this is happening, it may be churning. This happens (occasionally) when I’m running through some of the more “complex” areas of Lions Arch. I think it’s just failing to realize where you’re going, and loading the models and textures for the NPCs at the last second.

Last night I walked right up to the banker in LA, and couldn’t see it for about 10 seconds, but was able to interact with it, lol. HDD was reading like crazy.

It’s not churning, it’s not LoD-related. It has nothing to do with your PC or your network connection.

It’s a performance optimization they did on the servers.

That was one of the first threads posted in the official forums when they went live.

There are currently at least 22 separate threads on this particular problem, and no official acknowledgment.

It is killing WvW. What’s the point? I die over and over now everytime we are assaulting a gate. All of a sudden there’s corpses everywhere. THEN you begin to see the enemies. So sad…
