And its back again hit me at 20.15 CET right when wurm for today daily was about to start and guild activities was cancled today because few ppl from guild experienced lags in the afternoon
Location: Poland
ISP: LCS (they use netia lines)
Server: Aurora glade EU
google GW2 benchmarks, to catch up i5 3,3Ghz you would need to run this FX at like 4,5Ghz+ also AMD FX for games are worse (clock to clock) than older Phenoms II.
Also this FX-8350 has 4 blocks of 2 cores, but each block has only 1 FPU (floating point unit) which is important for things like games
Bulldozer architecture isnt bad it just lack implementation. Devs writing games/programs wont bother (unless you pay them extra) to make program run better on like what 10% of overall CPUs. You write for majority and Intels are this majority.
I have high hopes for incoming expansion and counting that except all the content they add we will see some game engine upgrades (even WoW has DX11 now)
Try Maw its even worse fps drop, and all because little snowflakes I guess
On side note I will be making friend and brand new computer i5 haswell and GTX960. THink I will check how it will work instead my 270X
For just slightly more you can get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116991
as to RAM you can check on MSI page, although if you not found it there it doesn’t mean it wont work, but if you find it you will be sure it will
CPU-Z can show you brand of your RAM and timings
TBH I would prefer slower CPU or GPU than computer w/o SSD now.
You are missing the point of adding it anytime you want/can. But when you buy a slower cpu and gpu your money is gone^^
Sure sure and reinstalling system if copy from hdd wont work
Times when I did often had case open and doing something inside past. Now its close, opened once year for cleaning and thats all. And system is changed when I do big upgrade (last WinXP had 6 years)
Same story again. 23.00 I managed to login, it was laggy but didnt get kicked. Around 23.20-30 it become totaly fine. I made pathpings when it was impossible to login (22.06) when it was laggy but possible to login (23.02) and when its OK (00.00) and guess what, same IP’s similar packets lost and ms but difference is between night and day
Since I cant attach 3 files I copy paste it to one
I provided pathpings and you know what funny they were exactly same IPs on the way and difference unplayable and playable same 100% packets lost on 2 IPs right before destination with (+-10ms) same latency
Was giving it a try but I observe myself and I DO play less because if old dailies I get done while generally playing new one I have to spend time on things mostly not planned by me. Often after doing dailies or extra time waiting for some event from it I just logout
Im new player have only 2k AP (so Im mostly interested in this 10AP) so when I get 2x fractals or events in zone I wasnt yet I have to go pvp and sometimes spend a lot of time running getting killed and running back again
For abour 30min now Im unable to sell or list most (for some reason I can list some) anything on TP. I see in /m that other players have this problem also

What PSU you have if its decent and have enough Ampers on 12V line/s it shount need changing (enough is 400W+ if youwount o/c and more if you would change grapic card and/or o/c)
for around 400 euro I could get in Poland (no idea where you live) haswell i5-4690K + decent Z8x/9x motherboard + 8GB ram (240+80+80 euro) non-K hawell cost 25 euro less
Sell old stuff and buy better grapic card or PSU (depend on which is needed more)
This CPU is weak for GW2 as it has 8 weak cores and strong core is what GW2 likes. Well still such drops of fps shouldnt happen. Run GPU-Z in background and see is your graphic card running at top clocks duing game
On side note why you didnt instal game on SSD?
On side note 2 AMD + nV it just sounds wrong
Guested to Gunnar’s Hold and was able to login
guessing one of mega servers is broken but nobody there to fix it
Why mess with patches on holidays when your staff is just for emergencies
edit:
it worked only once and now I cant loging to DR again
Same here, funny is I did login to DR on one of my chars but when on another one ported from LA to DR via gates game broke and since then I cant log chars that are/should be in DR. Chars in Rata Sum, Black Citadel or Groove works
world: Aurora Glade (gonna check will changing it solves issue)
It’s becoming evident that this problem is simply out of ANET’s technical expertise.
Suddenly, your power goes out. People come to you complaining about the power outage. You look around and everyone in the area has no power. What do you do? People are expecting you to fix the problem.
Why should you have to fix the power lines? Why are you expecting ArenaNet to fix your internet?
The servers are not the problem, the route to them is. It’s not just GW2 that is affected but NCSoft’s EU datacenter. Basically, it’s your ISP that is the problem. Specifically, it’s one of the links between your ISP and NCSoft. Do you really want ArenaNet to tell you that? It could take months to resolve this issue depending on the cause. There is a chance that the problem is on NCSoft’s side however and it simply comes down to money. Telia for example could be wanting more money out of them.
As shown a few posts above, use a VPN in an attempt to bypass the problematic networks.
It really do look more like ANet ISP problem and users one. Customers shouldnt need to get other programs/pay for VPN/etc. to play game they bought
Hope I dont jinx it but for over 2 weeks (3rd weekend) I have no lag (odd d/c and small lag happens but very rarely) before that for 2 or 3 weeks I had problems like all above evenings d/c and insane 10sec plus lags. So dont give up there is hope, although have no idea what changed
If you point on temperature, fan speed, voltages in SpeedFan you will see: last, min, max, and mean. Although this kind of programs might be wrong, saw cases when it looked legit but it wasnt.
On side note: put stick of RAM you removed to your machine and see if problems will be back. If it wont good for you, maybe socket had bad connection, if it will well either stick become damaged somehow and dont want to work in pair or try different slot in case slot become damaged
So lag stroke me today around 18.20 same time as yesterday. It gave up around 23.45 (GMT+1). Ive kept doing pathping -4 -q 100 to IP I know was LA I have 4 files
LAG (20.38 22.23 23.10) and NOLAG (23.52) that shows exactly same trace to that IP. The difference on paper is around 10ms in latency and sometimes 1% in packets lost (marginal I would say) difference in game was lag(10+ sec)/d-c to no-lag at all
since I cant put multiple files I copy paste them to one
I did try GW2 -clientport 80 but that didnt help
So I can play OK now (was lagging earlier in the evening as usual), no lag no d/c but for fun I did pathping -4 -q 100 and results are… <drums>… ~same like when Im lagging and d/c O_O
8 hops with ~0% packets lots then two with ~100% and last one with ~0% again with all measured times at worse 32ms
could be ram too, do Memtest, generally any artifacts on screen = faulty memory
You’re referring to RAM on the video card. Defective RAM on the motherboard causes freezing and sometimes data corruption, but won’t cause screen artifacts.
can be, saw faulty USB causing graphic artefacts. Computers works mysterious ways sometimes and with 16GB RAM if you cut half still 8GB left, plenty for GW2.
would try different slot for graphic card also
When I enter this mini game I play it for 5-10sec and my game crash. I’ve tried different chars and did gw2.exe -repair but w/o effect.
Crashes begun today after patch, I’ve played this game (and other) before patch w/o problems
and just like that lag is gone (above tracert is around 15min old as I was looking for solution in mean time and before I again tried to log in)
edit:
me and my big mouth, once I back from alt-tab Ive started to have 1-2 lag spikes >.<
could be ram too, do Memtest, generally any artifacts on screen = faulty memory
You are not ovearheating, well northbridge (I suspec its Temp2) is bit high but shouldnt make problems yet
Location: Poland
Time and date: previous Sunday 3-11 p.m then Monday evening, this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in evenings lags and d/c It usually gets better just before 9 p.m (GMT+1)
Game World: Aurora Glade
Severe lags and disconnects, can’t log in.
I contacted my provider – my line works perfectly, few other multiplayer games works fine also
on side note GW2 main page loaded like 15sec
Started to me on Sunday afternoon, 1st lags then bigger ones then d/c. I logged past 23 (GMT+1) and had no problems. Today (Monday) I played all day till about 19 when again I begun to have lag spikes and d/c. Tomorrow Im all day at work but will check will I be able to log in in the evening and if when problems disappear
It fixed itself in an hour. I do wonder what causing it
