Guild Wars 2

Ok… game has been out for long enough to get around fixing the most obvious and game stopping technical issue out atm… I’m tired of playing a lottery. Maxed out settings highest resolution with lets say queensdale swamp boss… and I’m sitting pretty at a very nice 50fps… now for no reason I could be in empty parking lot and BAM fps drops to nothing. With v-sync on so my eyes don’t bleed out fps drops to 3-4 fps… with v-sync off I could still get to MAAAAAAAYBE 15-20 fps… I’m fine with 30 fps. But those sudden plunges have completely ruined my exploring black citadel into… @#$%^ when with this @$#%& end and I can get out of this @#$%^ so i don’t have to watch a @#$%^ slide show.
Honestly this is the most reported bug out there. And it has been left to rot ever since. I find it amusing I can run into this issue in any multitude of ways. Same map on same server can be fine and next day it will be eye gouging hell. Most irritating is that sometimes its not even an entire map… its a slab of land that produces it… leave it… and your back to normal.. take a step back and fps drops to nothing again.
Running through queensdale atm… yay glitch happened so im stuck walking at 3 fps… Meanwhile I’m playing Crysis 2 undex max settings with hi-res textures and dx 11 patch on second screen. Funny how that still sits at 60 fps even while this atrocity is giving me a slide show. Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll get to CM.

At this point it is a complete waste of time to post specs along with any post relating to FPS. Whats the benefit of doing so? So people can post more voo-doo fixes? No, when there are a million other posts just like this getting just as much help as this guy, there is literally no point. Sry, for raging, im obviously suffering from the same issue and have been for days now with nothing to comfort me but the automated email i get everytime i send my ticket in. I take what little happiness I can from it.

Well the problem is they know it’s a problem. they don’t know what is causing it or how to fix it. Once the issue is identified, it will probably be fixed in like 24 hours, I’ve provided so much information to support already, I have a feeling it won’t be too long now.

Try running in full screen windowed mode instead of full screen. That fixed all my fps and stuttering issues….

That doesn’t help at all. I get under 10 FPS, no matter what resolution I have the game in, or if it’s in windowed mode or not. And under 10 is being generous, when there’s barely anyone around. I get worse than that in the city maps (like 5 to 7 FPS), making it real hard to explore, for trying to get the Vistas and the like.

I have already given my specs to ArenaNet ad nauseum, and followed their ridiculous steps for over a week now (it doesn’t help that they don’t answer my tickets until almost 2 days after I sent one, either), and none of the steps have helped one bit. So please don’t tell me I should be posting anything like specs.

I never said you should post your specs for the Nth time. I was simply trying to provide a solution to fellow gamers that happened to work for me and my specs. If it did not help, oh well, that most likely means your set up is different than mine. As far as a solution for you specifically, I have no idea.

Yes it sucks that you paid full retail for a game and you can’t run it the way you want or expect. Also keep in mind its only been on public release for 2 weeks or so. All I can suggest is patience (which is even harder).

I had this same problem with SWTOR came out last year. Horrid fps in all hubs and in PVP. It was fixed within a few weeks though with a patch from the devs, and a new Nvidia driver.

As PC gamers we have all been there at one point and we all know the pain. I wish you the best of luck in finding a solution for your hardware.
