Guild Wars 2

My FPS just dropped down to max 20…..can someone explain this?

Can you give us some more info please. Hardware specs, software specs, is this everywhere in GW2, cities, open world, dungeons, WvW, PvP? How long have you been playing and what has your FPS been before?

Everywhere in GW2 I’m at max 26 instead of 45-60, and I’ve been playing this for a year. The drop just suddenly happened earlier tonight. Tried to search for updates for my drivers, but everything is updated. But I’ve experienced alooooooot of FPS issues with this game before, and it always goes up again, so I guess it’s Anet’s neverending patch-never-remove-old-content-just-throw-more-kitten-on-it-until-the-fps-blows striked back yet again.

You are still not telling us a Thing about your desktop.

It could be that something went bad all of a sudden in your hardware, however I’m doubting that very much. What can you remember changing from the last time FPS was normal to the first time this was on? Windows update, GW2 update? have you noticed this anywhere else? Are other games fine? if you monitor your CPU, GPU, RAM usages and temps while playing, what do they say?

It went suddenly back to normal some hours later. It had nothing to do with my PC, because it was other players having the exact same problem at the exact same time. It was probably Anet doing their magic again.
