I’m exactly in the same situation as all of you. My fps and being able to play went away overnight. I have a pretty new computer that I just built that is doing the same thing. I was perfectly fine before the last patch at everything at high settings. There are times when between gw2 and the new bl process’s, that it is eating up 80-90% of my cpu and making it run really hot. I am not frying my cpu due to this game no matter the love I have for it.
Now – I only log in to see if anything has changed :/ I didn’t even bother putting in a ticket seeing as everyone else that has is getting told to troubleshoot and then get closed tickets.
Anet please fix this – I really miss this game – Glad we just bought a new console to help me ease my gw2 addiction for a little while tho :/
