Guild Wars 2

I’m noticing staff are avoiding these low fps since last patch threads -.- Would have rather had some sort of official word even if it was a copy / paste “read this thread” one.

Starting to feel like I have thrown my money away buying 2 Digi Deluxe and about 4000 Gems…

Any staff want to let us know if this is a known issue?

Nice one LuckyFish, No mini patch for me

Hoping a staff member will spot this to clue me in since I know its not a config issue

You may want to check your hard drive for bad sectors mate

If your not sure how to check:

If it comes up clean on your D Drive then uninstall and reinstall the game

Seems your GW2 Data file is unreadable (bad sectors) or corrupt

Since today’s update both machines I play on have been crippled in FPS, looking at your crash report seems dx9 shader cache is mentioned… could be whats also crippling me :/

Hello,

Since the last patch that came today removing the event stuff of the shores event both my computers have suffered crippling FPS loss.

Both machines are kept up to date with the latest drivers and have always performed well in the game for there hardware until the latest patch. Was there some sort of “optimizations” done?

Desktop:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.7GHz
AMD HD4770 1GB
8GB DDR2 800 Ram
Windows 7 Home Premium X64 SP1
(Normal FPS with the settings used on it 45-60, Now 20-35)

Laptop: (Yes, I’m aware its borderline on the requirements no point mentioning it)
AMD Turion Ultra X2 ZM-82 @ 2.2GHz
Nvidia 8200m G (500/800/1000) 256MB
4GB DDR2 800 Ram
Windows 7 Home Premium X64 SP1
(Normal FPS with the settings used on it 20-30, Now 12 – 22)

I Have tried all the normal stuff such as disable anti-virus, reboot system, check for changes, check about recent windows updates.

Nothing has changed on these machines since yesterday when they worked as they should have, No software updates of any kind. I just booted up the machine and tried to play GW2 without entering any other program. when it showed this unusual performance drop, I booted up the laptop and tried on that one and it did the same thing.

As such I’ve been able to rule out my hardware, any software changes, driver updates, anti-virus and other such things.

Thanks for any tips
