Guild Wars 2

Yeah it looks like the game ignores the v-sync set by the Nvidia Control Panel as I’m running up to 100+ fps and my card is hitting 100% usage when it normally sits lower.

I run mine in Windowed Fullscreen already so that’s fine with me.

On the reshade issue, I’m using it and it’s working fine for me. I remember reading something though where if you run in Windowed Fullscreen mode the reshade files need to actually sit in the root of the Guild Wars 2 folder otherwise it won’t run.

Has anybody tried forcing v-sync via the Nvidia control panel rather than in-game to see if this works? I’ll give it a try now to see but was wondering if anyone had already tried.

Just seen another poster saying that when he turns v-sync off in the graphics settings the loading screen hang goes away. I’ve just turned mine off to see if that makes a difference.

Hmm, I’ve been having the issue of the game hanging at loading screens and I also use v-sync. Not had any problems with textures though.

I’ve been trying to figure out what is causing my hanging issues so will try v-sync off for a while to see if that helps.

Well I went back to Nvidia driver rev 358.91 from November 9th and it’s no different. Maybe it’s not related to the graphics card? Unless there’s something in the latest patch that causes it.

I can play other games without any issues as well, only happens with GW2.

Nothing that I’ve seen so far. I’m testing to see if I can figure out what might be causing it but so far it looks to be the update from Tuesday for me. Still looking for now…

I’m having the same problem from what I can tell. When dropping to the character select screen or loading into a map I get a hang where GW2 stops responding. After a short time my whole computer stops responding as well and I either have to wait a few minutes for it to recover or force a reboot.

I’m on a GTX970 discreet card and was running the 359.06 driver. The problem only started from what I can tell after Tuesdays’ patch but around the same time I updated also the graphics driver.

I’ve tried both 64 and 32 bit client as I have them installed separately and it happens on both. I also use reshade and thought that might be contributing but removing the files makes no diff.

My wife’s install of GW2 is running fine but she’s on Win 7 to my Win 10 and is running an AMD card instead of Nvidia.

I also suspected the Nvidia Experience was causing the problem as it wouldn’t load properly but having removed that I was still getting the problem.

I then went back to the 359.00 driver but only managed one map before it happened again. When dropping out to the character select screen it froze up.

I’m going to try rolling back to an earlier Nvidia driver to see if that helps but I’m not sure if I’m barking up the wrong tree with the graphics driver. I’ll post back with an update.

Yeah I’m having major problems too over the last 2 days. After a certain point in the day I just can’t do anything. I’m stuck in the Labyrinthine Cliffs as it lags me out within seconds of connecting so I can’t even travel out.
