His cpu is fine, gw2’s poor cpu optimization is the problem. 10 years from now, people will still have fps issues with the latest tech and players will be telling them their cpu is too weak to run the game.
Anet needs to do some serious optimizing, to make sure the game scales well with hardware….which at the time it does not.
Can’t both be true? Anet could offer better optimizations + overclocking certain CPU’s yield better performance.
“I already have the 32-bit client; will I have to completely download the game again?
No. The 64-bit client uses the same data as the 32-bit client. If you already have the game installed, you can follow these instructions to avoid needing to reinstall the game:
Download the 64-bit client.
Copy the downloaded program into your Guild Wars 2 game folder.
Update any shortcuts to the game to point to the new file instead.
This process will be automatic once we get out of beta.”
I recently got Windows 10, but have yet to boot it to a new hard-drive (am upgrading to a gaming rig). I’m apprehensive about using 10, because of problems I’ve heard, namely compatibility issues with the game. Has 10 reached a more stable point now? Is the general consensus that it’s worthwhile using it?
I’ve been using Windows 10 64 bit and have never had a single issue related to Guild Wars 2.
Good luck with your new computer/rig.
This may or may not affect you.
I’ve recently heard of MSI Afterburner’s overlay causing some issues with black screens with GW2. Perhaps you use this or other overlay’s.
Good luck.
I too have had this issue. I’ve had to control alt delete and kill process and restart the client to get it.
Come to think of it the second time I start the client always works.
It’s completely untrue. It cannot be done with even a GTX 980.
I have one and cannot max all settings with a playable frame rate in any real circumstance. Not gonna happen. Impossible. Never has been. It’s irrational to think otherwise.
My goodness.
There is a queue for every aspect of the game besides this. Pugs are fine. We’re all basically pugs. Pay my mortgage and you’ll not be considered a pug. Thanks.
This could be completely unrelated but the latest Nvidia drivers were causing me 20ish frames & especially when I opened the map.
Very odd. I’m using the 359.06 drivers with great success.
We want your’s to say x16, not x4. This will remedy your situation.
You may need to re seat in its correct slot for it to take effect.
I'm including a link of mine. (please ignore all but the "x16"

You may need to re seat it in correct slot or alter a Bios option.

I think you need to contact then directly with a ticket. Try not to get your hopes up. I’ve had the same issue before and it’s still unresolved at this time.
Any chance this happens when you open the map and then exit? I was in HoT zones earlier and when I opened the map my FPS got very bizarre.
Even when I exited back to the game the effects did not go away. I eventually just ignored it. It was pretty awful.
It’s a no-brainer that dungeon participation is on the down swing since the HoT Expansion.
There has always been more than one way to play GW2. I personally thrived in PVE and dungeons was a large part of this. At times, I would jump from dungeon to dungeon from lfg-queue to another.. At present the queues often make me wonder if dungeons are not only losing favor but their once firm place in pve-content altogether. Introducing new content shouldn’t ever decimate old. ( not in this context anyway )
From my view, the bottom line is that loot & rewards , the selling point that most players seem to require for joining.
WIll dungeons ever regain their position in PVE?
Bellelaugh does have an incessant need to poke at apparently every single 4k forum post.
She or he also pretends to have Anet’s protocols for programming delegation in demand.
Question to Behellagh :
Which Anet protocol claims they or any other MMO revises itself based upon some quasi /steam / hardware review ?
Long live 4k dreams and 64bit clients!
There are times that GW2.exe has utilized around 68% of my i7 3770k @ 4.4Ghz.
That being said, I do not have an expert understanding of any of the softwares involved.
This is for both 32bit or the new 64bit .
What can we do to get Anet to update us on their own website /forums/Tech Support?
I’ve heard that some people are being advised on non gw2 websites. I think is very, very confusing. I’m sick of having to dig to find simple answers to bugs or temporary errors. We pay them for what I think are ‘just given’ & simple etiquette and services.
I’d love to see a live mechanic even on the updater itself.
Awesome work!
Also, if you choose to not max settings like ‘Field of View’ and others you will generate some more fps without losing much in the aspects of visualizations.
I’ve found in certain maps that maxing Field of View with other settings on High or max can really be brutal.
I would strongly suggest OC to around 4.2-4.5Ghz also. As far as the comparison between 770 vs. 980 it will be very noticeable with while using Supersampling in my opinion.
I agree, for now, overclock your CPU and see if you can create some fps from this.
I have a NZXT Phantom 410 case, with a fan at the front bottom, top back, and back top. Should this be adequate airflow? And the low-mid 70’s was taken on a rather hot day. Currently it’s running around mid 60’s – that should be fine right?
I want to really thank all the developers who created this 64beta. For me the differences are night and day with max settings.
Thank you so much!
i7 + 980gtx + HD resolution Windows 10 64 bit..
Doesn’t this disc come with a serial code ??
Click ‘My Account’ and then click ‘Redeem Code’
If you have the core game already installed you’ll be set after this I think.
Wow. Interesting occurrence!
I don’t know what your exact solution will be, but I suspect you need to submit a ticket! From what I read in your post that GM didn’t fully understand your predicament.
If all your components are working as described I would definitely upgrade the 5970 and at least overclock your CPU to 4.2Ghz and you should be fine. What is your memory running at ? Just make sure you’re running in dual channel and DDR3.
