I was just wondering if anyone has an Alienware M11x. I’m getting extremely low framerates especially in zergs, and it makes the Crown Pavilion almost unplayable. I have to switch to some ranged weapon and just shoot. Otherwise getting up in their face makes no sense as it goes to somewhere like 5fps.

They just removed culling, so you may need to turn the character limit and quality down.

During a previous update, in-game settings were reset, verify your graphics settings. However, you may need to just delete the local.dat file (my documents/guild wars 2), this will reset your settings again, but may allow better performance.

Update vid card drivers (best to uninstall then re-install).

If running any overclocking, temporarily disable it and test.

If none of this helps, please post your specific system specs.

Setting the character limit to medium will bring it back to pre patch performance for the most part. You can lower it even further for better performance as well if you don’t mind seeing the nameplates.

Also I highly highly recommend not running shadows in high player count areas. It’s a huge drain no matter the hardware.

The Pavillion has a very high polygon count due to the large amount of geometry and coupled with the highplayer counts it’s likely the most demanding pve area at the moment. Shadows increase that load even more so.
