Guild Wars 2

Situation seems to have become worse with the last patches. It definitely is not net lag, as I am playing with my children with two computers at the same time using the same DSL gateway – same server, same map – issues with only one computer .

Reason for the lag on one machine is extensive CPU-usage. All eight cores run at full load. Freezes and severe lag occur even when all other stuff including firewall and antivirus is stopped.

The game occasionally runs fluently for a short time even with many players in group events.

Looks like some thread synchronisation and or resource monitoring issues burn the CPU running tight loops with certain hardware setups.
