Guild Wars 2

I was hoping to alleviate the frame hit from the 500 person events without having to drop my gfx settings every time I run them. Alas, I will have to make do with a pretty slideshow.

I found the problem. For some reason even though the catalyst drivers have a GW2 profile by default it wasn’t using crossfire. I created a custom GW2 profile in the catalyst control center and made sure crossfire was enabled.

Not exactly stellar results though. I noticed a very small frame rate boost; I have read elsewhere that GW2 doesn’t scale well with dual GPU setups :/

I’ve searched around various forums, but have not found anything specific to my issue.

I have 2 R9 290X cards in crossfire, but when I play GW2 only one card is used. Other games use both cards and I’ve verified this using several utilities (MSI afterburner, Sapphire TRIXX, AMD catalyst control center)

Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so had any luck resolving it?

Specs:

i5-3570K @ 3.4Ghz
2x Sapphire R9 290X
16GB Memory

Edit: Driver is Catalyst 14.2 Omega

Happening to me all the time in Toypocalypse.

Sounds exactly like what I’m experiencing.

To start off I am on a US server but currently overseas (can’t guest to European servers so I’m SOL on that). I lag somewhat in the regular game world.

I entered toypocalypse and the lag is normal no big deal I expected it, but then I was completely out of sync with the game. I could move and take damage, but could not pick up objects or attack. When I could pick up scraps or snow up I couldn’t build anything if I dropped them they ended up far away from where I was. The strange part is I could still move around and if I was standing near enemies I took damage. The only way to reset this was to die and respawn and that bought me a few minutes at most. I would purposefully quit the game and relog to see if that solved it but it did not.

I find it hard to believe that this was caused by lag, if I was lagging I should be rubber banding or disconnecting right? Anyone else experience this?

I can confirm using a VPN to set your location to the U.S. (version of the game I have) worked. I got the patch ankitten ow able to login and play. I am currently overseas but have not had trouble downloading patches before until yesterday, so lesson learned.

Ok glad to know I’m not going insane.

This just started happening this morning, no changes were made to my computer at al between when I logged off last night and logged in today.

After selecting a character (any of my 5) I get the loading screen for whatever region they were in and after about 10 seconds the game closes and the login screen reappears. I receive no errors or dialog boxes at all. The game simply closes and relaunches the login client.

I searched and did not see anyone with a similar problem.

This has probably been brought up before, but the search function for this forum isn’t the best. Like dyes we should be able to store the skins of armor/weapons we find for transmute later. I hate having to bank a piece of armor or weapon because I like the way it looks, but haven’t gotten the complete set. The ability to store and retrieve skins is already in the game (HoM vendor) and storing dyes is already allowed, it just seems like an obvious feature to add to a game in which appearance is so paramount.
