Guild Wars 2

Since the 28/1 patch, I tried fractals twice.
Both times I experienced horrible lags. at times, it made me still see the combat while the boss was already down. Sometimes I get disconnected as well.
On the 2nd occasion, the group kicked me, and i don’t blame them, i made no contribution.

This happens only in dungeons, and starts only at the first boss. From that point, other fights become laggy, and when I leave the dungeon, the world is also laggy.
The world lag is solved by killing the game and restarting it, but there is no point in doing so in dungeons, since at the first glance of a boss, this is going to happen again.

When the lag ends, I get a “fast forward” video of everything that happened while I was stuck as if all the rendering was waiting in a queue.

While the lags go on, and the game is stuck, the group chat works.

Please fix it, I didn’t do fractals before due to all the disconnects and lack of ability to get back, and I can’t do them now, untill a fix patch is released.

For me, the only end game content is dungeons, and without them, it’s pretty much game over.

I’ve had terrible lag since the 1-28 update as well. Never had lag before, now dungeons and fractals are virtually undoable.

This is not a network issue.
The chat still works while the ui freezes. The graphics that I missed while the game was frozen get rendered after the freeze is released.
This, combined with the fact that not all party members suffer the same issues, makes me think it’s a graphic rendering queue issue.
