Guild Wars 2

Yup same thing here. Running an E8400 with a Nvidia 9800GTX+ and 8GB of ram.

Before the 9/8/12 patch, I was averaging 30-40FPS on medium settings (outside of town), and after the patch I get 7-9 FPS, and that is on the lowest settings in the game, medium settings are down to about 5-6 FPS.

I did everything from try 4 different version of nvidia drivers, reset winsock, performed system restore back to before update, scanned for viruses (none found), tried the leatrix fix, defrag, ran msconfig and disabled all non-microsoft services along with all startup items. Hell last night I threw the hail mary pass and reinstalled windows. Still same issue.

Game is unplayable at this point, and getting more frustrated by the day as I have a product that was good for 2 weeks and now is useless to me. Any other game on my system runs @ 30-40 FPS, including Aion (which is more graphics intensive then this game is).

Patiently waiting for resolution, or at least acknowledgement of this situation.

I too have this same issue. I have reset winsock, ran virus scans, ran SFC, defrag the hard drive, reinstalled the client, tried 4 different Nvidia drivers, tried a different windows restore point, tried another computer in the house (plays just fine), and still having 7-9 FPS.

What’s really weird is that last night it was 40-45 FPS, but then the update came this morning (9/8/12) and now it is unplayable.

I finally said screw it and reinstalled windows, thinking it was something deep in the registry, and guess what……same issue. Guess I will have to sit back and wait until they fix it, hopefully it is soon.
