Guild Wars 2

Here is my keyboard log, hope this issue can be fixed soon.

I just finished one DS meta event now.

It’s better after few patches, more stable more FPS more smooth in meta event.

But still have the keyboard problem just not that often at least I can almost finish DS meta event without this problem now, and few small things like AoE ground target ring don’t display at right place or looks twisted, the red circle under target sometimes unable to be seen or looks twisted, and ambient occlusion afterimage issue, and “alt+anykey” still make alt stuck.

This light effect(?) always show around objects and characters with ambient occlusion option checked. Is this normal?

This happens while gliding with ambient occlusion option checked.

Don’t know how to describe this, it happens while diving and the dark circle only move map up and down.

Don’t know how but this happens all the time and when this happens I can’t use keyboard to use F1~F4 skills at first the all key won’t respond expect backspace and up/down/right/left arrow.

OK so some of you guys are talking about the client being laggy af in the beginning. How did this get better over time? I have been waiting for hours over the last few days and my game is still laggy till the point where it’s simply unplayable.
The game runs very smooth on Bootcamp’ed Windows with the Windows client – however I hate swapping OS between making music and playing games.

Try setting your resolution lower, that really helped me! Here’re my graphic settings – maybe they’ll help you!

Thank you for the reply!
I already tried this – even with the lowest possible setting however with no result.
All that happened was that the game even looked so awful that I didn’t feel like playing it
On Windows I run everything around max on the same computer (on Bootcamp)

This sounds like the same situation I had when Blizzard not yet support Metal API on SC2 and HotS, every game start with lagging and awful FPS like 0.5 FPS sometimes it only happen at the beginning but most of time just unable to go to team fight and make self useful because you simple seeing everything lag for 1~2s and can’t tell what is going on the team fight, and worst of all you can’t ping enemy missing or help because cursor stuck pressing left/right mouse button. Everything is better then ever on macOS after Blizzard support Metal on these 2 tittles. Games respond instantly and FPS doubled. I never thought that graphic API can make so much different before I went through this.

I find I crash way more with the new native client than I ever did with the other one. My character will start to turn, everything freezes and I get the white error message to send the bug report to Anet. This happens at least once every 20min or so…really frustrating because it’s lovely to use other than the crashes.

Agree, still not stable to play with massive players to do things like pve boss train, HP/mastery train, meta events, or WvW zerg…etc.

But I have to say I’m happy that at least this 64-bit client didn’t causing any system panic for now in my case.

I still hoping anet would consider using Metal to get more performance on macOS client.

I must say, I’m glad and little bit disappointed at the same time. I’m really glad to have native client for Mac, but I’m also sad to see that it’s running on OpenGL, which brings little of performance gain. I wish Arenanet would rather use Metal, which would give much better performance and would generate much less heat on my MacBook Pro. Maybe some day in the future, but until then, GW2 will bake my laptop as it used to do with old Cider client…

Agree, at least it’s better to use Metal API to run HotS and doubled FPS.

Maybe some key stuck or cursor stuck issues will be solved by using Metal, at least same issues happened on HotS to me and all issues solved after they support Metal API.

Option>Graphic Option>Ambient Occlusion causing a strange thing.

I don’t know how to describe it.

Having a game crash while doing Dragon Stand meta event just now.

Screen freeze but audio still going and have to force quit it, and I still get the credit and reward from the event I was doing before I force quit the game.

This happens in about 20 mins, 10 mins waiting for old map to close, 3 min lane grouping, 5 mins playing, and 2 mins hopping client recover from freeze and then 5 sec to force quit.

I will keep trying to do meta events and world bosses to see if the new 64-bit client more stable.

update:

Unplayable during Dragon’s Stand meta event. Even can’t finish over 2 event without game crash.

But good news is new client ain’t causing system panic so far.

After Rotating the Camera with right mouse button, the cursor is stuck (but visible) on its position for about 200 ms. I dont have “Use scrolliong geastures to change directions” enabled

I’m getting the same issue here

I would like to know if this is an confirmed bug. Its very annoying. I use an Logitech mouse without any drivers.

Rest works great after some graphics-tweaking on my iMac late 2009 Radeon HD 4850 512 MB.

Edit: Either left or right button cause this bug. Also in the new PVP end screen, where you can’t actually turn the camera, but mouse cursor still hangs for a bit.

1.
Same issue here both left and right mouse button.

And alt/ctrl stuck after press alt/ctrl+somekey rapidly, ex: I use alt+1 instead of F1, alt key stuck after I press 1 rapidly with alt key pressed and hold no matter on move or stand still, have to press alt to release it in this case.

And this issue seems only happens when I use addition keypad on my Razer Naga 2014.

2.
WASD stuck too, sometimes it stuck and moving toward one direction, I have to press opposite direction key several times to make it stop, most happens on W.

3.
Most of time it don’t display party members face icon on party UI but it’s visible on target UI.

4.
The color and light and texture, I have to say whole graphic looks strange in game. And everything looks so similar it’s hard to tell where is the cursor and ground target green/blue thing.

Would it performs better using Metal? I have better game experience using Metal then OpenGL in other games, like Heroes of the Storm and StarCraft 2. I can get about doubled FPS using Metal then OpenGL with same graphic setting(almost every setting is high) in Heroes of the Storm. I don’t play pvp in Starcraft 2 so I not sure how is the performance in real gameplay.

I’m not running Yosemite, so I haven’t been able to verify this, but this article may help (although it doesn’t do specifically what you’re asking, it may be close enough):

https://www.reddit.com/r/osx/comments/2kkwb9/yosemite_multi_monitor_fullscreen_mode_all_other/

That’s not what I am asking. But thank you.

I’m a Taiwanese and my English is not good to explain what I am asking, sorry about that.

I think Heroes of the Storm is open Beta now, you can just go and try the Display Mode in Options. maybe it’s easier to know what I am trying to tell. Try those 3 display mode and you will know the difference.

Use Bootcamp. Sry to say, but the Ciderport “Mac Client” is … errm … is … ,
… let’s stay polite and call it stepchild.

Yes, Bootcamp is the only solution for now as I know too.

But I switch on Mac because I had quite enough of Microsoft Windows. I’m not saying it’s a bad OS, but I just don’t like it. It took me 10+ years to consider should I switch to Mac as everybody know Mac is more expensive then build a PC by yourself. Last year I bought my first Mac and I am so happy to switch on Mac. So I don’t want to go back to Windows again.

And thanks for your advise.

Really need windowed full-screen on Mac client.

I have 2 monitors to play GW2 and check website etc at the same time. On Mac client, it only have windowed and full-screen to choose.

Full-screen will make my second monitor turn into black and have to minimize GW2 to do other things. Windowed is not brilliant, can’t really see every thing under windowed screen.

I know there is not much people using Mac to play games and most people will tell me buy a PC to play GW2, but there is a Mac client and I only have Mac.
