Guild Wars 2

I also got FPS problems but for me but this started to occur since the update on the night between friday and saturday (7/8 of september). I notice that I got serious problems with game performance on my homeworld server. (Underworld, EU) This is specifically the case during european prime time and frankly during the whole weekend.

Only the problem cease to exist whenever I get in a overflow server or when I play early morning European time. So basically whenever there are less people connected to the server the performance issues cease to exist for me.

The settings I use to run the game are always based on the auto detect function in-game. But during the european peak hours I have tried to run the bare minimum settings in game and these don’t help either in terms of performance actually they remain the same (nearly unplayable).

For the system on which i’m running:
Windows 7 Home 64 bit
Core i5 460m 2.53 GHz (2 core’s 4 threads)
4 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460m (beta driver 306.02)

If you need my inter connection, tested with speedtest.net:
Download speed: 48.99Mb/s
Upload speed: 13.77Mb/s
Ping: 5ms

So that shouldn’t pose a problem I think. Also the game was running smooth since the pre-game launch so that should not be the problem. As I said the problem really started since the update friday night. Also when I looked up the update notes from that night the only notable change is the change in capacity of the home world servers.

So I’m wondering whether the problem I’m facing is caused by the increase in the home world servers capacity? (By the way I haven’t tested going to a completely different server, since when I last checked Underworld has the same as population as other servers, medium) Or is there some other problems with this server since I don’t have the problem in the overflow server.
