Guild Wars 2

Couple of things I have noticed.. I wonder some if the FPS monitor is completely accurate. I see it read 25 sometimes on ultra, but have ZERO lag or slow drawing. So, might not be super accurate

As far as your question on AMD, it appears that AMD rigs DO have a problem with GW2. Here is an article on that in fact

25 FPS is the lowest speed at which the human eye can be fooled into not realizing that it’s simply a series of stills being played really quickly to create the illusion of movement. It’s not a flawless statement there are some cases where you can notice but it’s a minimum standard.

Just a post incase there is anyone out there still experiencing issues logging into the game client that started yesterday after the patch.

I got up this morning and went to log in nothing worked, so i finally decided to restart my computer and as dumb as it sounds…. Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

Simply rebooting my PC cleared the problem. If your still experiencing the issue and haven’t already maybe try doing this and see if it helps. If it doesn’t it may be worth running a program like CC Cleaner and rebooting it again as that’s the only other thing I have done since I started having the issue.

I have a crappy 3 year old pc and it runs with everything on max at 50+ fps.

I7 CPU 930 Quad Core 2.8ghz
4GB of G-Skill Ram at 1033mHz
ATI Radeon HD 5850 (1GB)

I have had basically no issues at all except with the bandit cave in the starting area outside Divinity Reach where it dropped to low 20’s.

For those of you having some graphic issues that might not necessarily be limited to guild wars 2 try either tweaking your paging file or check the read speeds on your HDD’s with the inbuilt monitor. A lot of green HDD’s normal 2GB + have inbuilt things that will make them run at lower speeds unless it’s got a paging file located on it.

Unless you know what your doing though I don’t advise playing with these settings.

Anyone else realize that the technical forums just got renamed into being in german on the english forums?

Lol I would hope so :/ 3 years in customer support I should be good enough at it by now, if not I’d be surprised how i kept my job.

Maybe the plus’s don’t show up for you when you’ve been given them :O

If these boards represent close to the numbers of subscribers, seeing the first 4 pages on the tech problem consists of players having the same 2 problems (fps or bsod), I would be inclined to believe the percentage of users, is indeed a lot, higher. Actually, of the around 700 different posters inside these forums, only a handful seem to NOT be having any issues (whoch could of course be countered with “they play”, which is fair enough). Now, consider most gamers never even visit forums, and these forums are neither the easiest accessible either (I had to use guru for 3 months), I believe the representaged players with problems, indicate a HIGH percentage of the playerbase, to be experiencing problems. Then it is up to Anet to figure out what to do. Maybe theyve just ruled most of the ones not being able to log in, as people who have dropped out of the game? Possible. Maybe they rule out those having bsod-problems as lacking hardware, thus saving money by actually TRYING to solve the issue? Seems more and more likely. In the end, whatever "solution# Anet has decided to act up towards, it is very unlikely it is one in favour of the playerbase with the issues. I expect the tech forum page to go down for a week or two (easiest and cheapest way to handle “unsatisfied customers”), then the server-merges will start. After all, theyve received quite a lot of funds from the game, with small prospects of more, so its maintenance mode next.

And, actually. Talking about bad launch/after launch. Did anyone refer to The Secret Worlds launch? Best launch ever. NO problems, whatsoever.

^This to bring sanity back to this thread.

:( and here i was trying to bring some sanity to the thread

PS I feel left out no one has given me a single +1 yet :P

You may also note ELminister that this issue has been ongoing for a reasonable period of time and by now most the people it initially affected have probably given up and just gone to do something else and will return in a few hours or tomorrow, which at this point i honestly think is the best suggestion for anyone still having the issue.

Pick up another game you enjoy relax and play it instead of stressing and wasting more time on something you have no real/direct control over.

ELminister if it’s a problem which you claim effects such a small population why shouldn’t people complain?

The less of the population it affects often the harder or longer it takes for it to be found. If ANET are not made aware of the issue it would in most cases take longer to be fixed. This applies to not just ANET but all games in general.

What I said Daish while an extreme isn’t far from the truth. I haven’t seen any post in regards to what the issue is, what they are doing to fix it and any estimated time when it will be fixed.

So at this point in time it is basically exactly the same as the scenario i said with people receiving the your router is at fault messages.

While yes i do expect there to be a certain number of issues with newly released games and I am honestly not that bothered by this and the fact I can’t play. The real big issue here is that ANET are not addressing the community and letting them know there is an issue and that they are aware of it.

If they did address it and there was a post somewhere already that I haven’t found yet i would appreciate a link to it. If there isn’t it should be done it’s a pretty basic thing really and if they did so it would quieten a lot of the malcontent with exception of people only just finding the issue and reporting it.

Would you buy a car from a car company and be okay with it if all of a sudden stopped working and they told you it was an issue with how your driving it?

All the world servers where up it wasn’t an issue with that I’ve been having the problems for hours and been keeping a close eye on the server status’s.

I think it was an issue with the login server’s and it may just be coincidence but I had to perform a firmware update on my router and it appears to have fixed the issue however this may just be timing on Anet getting the servers back up.

Issue is ongoing for me.
