I guess there will be a quick fix for this.. probably tmr?

Hi Anet support,

So I have an bug with the map completion. I’m on full map completion (not just looking at 100% but each and every vista/heart/POIs/WPs). This is the 2nd toon to reach map completion for the first time. However, when I took my final 2 new POIs in Lion Arch (Under Attack!), nothing happened.

I have went to revisit chantry of secrets / completed all WvW borderland completion. Also revisit EVERY SINGLE zone but nothing still happened.

What I believe has happened is that. Before my map completion, I have already completed LA map before it was attacked, so I already got my city completion chest before, however my final 2 POIs was in LA after the attack so when I grab the last 2 POIs, it did not register as a completion. Please help.

Regards

GPU nowadays have the function to downclock the speed of the GPU in order to conserve energy and produce less heat, but I guess it didn’t answer question as to why did it happen.

There are forums around showing you how to force your GPU to run at max power but I do not recommend you try it if you have no idea what you are about to do. However, in the case that you do try it and it solves all the FPS drop problems, then it is clear that your GPU doesn’t recognise that it should go on full power or worker harder when it should. Hopefully you can work on it from here.

My case is slightly different, I get my GPU to run at max power but it doesn’t work, FPS still drops from before.

That is just what I heard, it does make sense, but I have no idea how it works or if its even true.

Hello OP,

I am experiencing the same thing as you, it just happens. BSOD, crash, unable to boot, you name it. Then FPS is like 7 FPS, whereby I was able to run 60 FPS smoothly, same place, same settings before.. I am very sure it was not cause by overheating, contrary to what many will say at first.

Like you, I have tried clean reinstalling, updating and what not, even clean uninstall of AMD drivers. I do not have a solution yet, but I have done some search on the net and some people suggest that the AMD chip is pushing in 2D clocks when you run GW2, when you should be running 3D clocks, might help you a bit.

It has come to my attention that many people are facing the same problem as I do. Crashing, bluescreens, unable to boot after crash, drastic drop in FPS.

Whether is it caused by the game or not, I do wish to hear from Anet devs (if any) if it is caused by the game or not. On a side note, it appears that my other games are somewhat infected by this as well.

When I enter the game, my GPU load immediately shot up to 100% (or 99%). This is become very concerning as I do believe my specs are able to handle the graphics way better than this at my current settings. (Native Render, the rest all set to lowest or none)

Klemens.8351:

Almost the same problem. Finished uni for the year and came home started playing on my mother’s laptop ( the reason I sayin this because it is almost brand new, doesn’t have almost nothing installed, solid anti virus and so on; no overheating as well).
8 gb ram, i5 processor, geforce 630 with 2gb. Everything was going well for the first couple of days but suddenly, 2 days ago, I started getting ridicolous frame rate drops, which made it impossible for me to play wvw, but the issue appeared in areas in such as the lost shores as well. It is just absurd because it drops even when I set the grafic options to the lowest and I get below 7-8fps in big battles even when everything is set to minimum.
This just drives me nuts, the game is pretty much unplayable for me right now ;/

I can understand when in big fights, but doing nothing and achieving 7 FPS at best is ridiculous for me. If in a area that is very quiet and easy on the GPU and you still achieve 7 FPS, then it becomes an issue

kokocabana.8153:

Maybe defective RAM?

I have resit my RAM, they don’t seem to have an issue

Aevic.9675:

4 gigs of ram is really low. The average I’ve seen in most peoples machines is about 16 GB of ram. I’m running at 8 myself. The game needs space to be able to run and move around files to allow it to run. If it has insufficient space it could cost in performance.

Just my two cents on the matter. I am not an expert on this.

I’m not surprised anyone would say 4GB is low in today’s computing world. Yes, 4GB is low, but it is more than enough to run GW2, not to mention my task manager doesnt even show it using 75% of it.

Question is, why does it suddenly drop? I have search the internet, and apparently some say it was AMD cards that doesn’t utilise the 3D clocks when running GW2, instead it is still running in 2D clocks, resulting in extremely low and bad quality of renders.

Anyone experienced this before?

Before I go on with my problem, here is a brief specification to my computer. I am no noob in these stuff but neither am I a pro.

I’m currently running
4GB RAM
i5-2400
AMD Radeon HD 6770

This computer is at max a year old, and usually I have between 50fps ~ 60 fps at peaceful places. Just about a few months ago, I had this issue where my usual 50fp drops to 5 ~ 7 fps and that is the highest you can get, I have tried reformatting everything and somewhat worked out.

This problem just hit me a day or 2 ago where everytime I play gw2, I get a BSOD in less than 5 minutes or even as soon as I logged on. It do seems like the same problem as before.

I have done a lot of looking around on the internet but there is no real solution because ppl always suggest :

1. “Have you updated your graphic driver?”
2. “Overheat?”
3. “Anything eating into your resources?”
4. “Dust?”
5. “Better card?”

Here’s the thing, the problem struck like immediately, it started with serious BSOD (suddenly), so I tried updating drivers and worked for maybe 24 hours?

My solution to the above points or what I have attempted about those pointers are as follows :

1. I have reinstalled my drivers and even tried playing without one (even went to device manager to remove and reinstall display adapter)

2. My GPU does not go beyond 60 degree celsius, it has no history of overheating, so does my CPU, it is using 3rd party cooler and never go beyond 60 degree celsius as well

3. Nothing is eating into my resources, I have 4GB RAM, and barely 2GB is in use. CPU usage is only at 16% at most when I alt-tab out to check. my GPU clock is running at the maximum clock speed by default.

4. Dust is not so much of an issue for me, I do clean my computer, problems dust cause are mainly overheating which I have no issue with.

5. I do not need a better card since I was able to achieve smooth gameplay before. I am not 100% convinced this is a hardware issue since it has happened to me and was resolved. I do not wish to reformat my PC every time I am met with this problem.

I wish to hear from anyone out there who has encountered the same problem as me, and if anyone has any solution to this problem.

Sorry for the long post.

P.S. I have not overclock any CPU or GPU clocks (I learnt my lesson)

EDIT : In addition to the above mentioned points, I have followed everything on this link already https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FPS-and-Performance-based-issues-1
