Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know what’s going on or when it’ll be fixed? Ever since the last patch I’ve been getting massive FPS drops.

It seems to occur after the game has been running a couple hours. Perhaps a memory leak found its way in with the last patch?

Sounds also like heat could be an issue. (See Part 4.1)

Nope. Definitely not a heat issue. This is a patch messed something up issue. Once the lag starts, I restart my client and I’m back in 10 seconds everything is fine for a few more hours.

How much free available physical ram do you have? Your system might be fine until the game starts using paged ram off your Hard drive.

8 GB ram with no background tasks. This is clearly an issue with the new update though.

Every patch there are post of this type, many things can go wrong during patching or system has changed else where and even possible memory leak as you suspect. However, I think the vast majority of people are running the game fine or better now since the winter snow effects are gone. Every system is built differently, you didn’t list any spec or game advisor logs so you will just have to troubleshoot it slowly to find out why.
