Guild Wars 2

Caedmon.6798:

Have you even tried deleting the Local.dat File ?

Located in “C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Guild Wars 2”

Also i see no mention whatsoever about anyone even having bothered to try and repair their clients,you’re all jumping through hoops and forget the 2 most important things.

Deleting Local.Dat and repairing client by adding a -Repair commandline parameter behind the Gw2 Shortcut.

Also have a look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp , And delete the Entire Gw2cache folder.Preferably before repairing the client.

I already deleted the dat/temp folders, and tried repairing Gw2. Fully uninstalled/reinstalled, didn’t fix anything.

I DID FIX IT THOUGH GUYS!

I’m not sure if we have the same problem, but after doing a ton of diagnostics tests with ANet Support, we ran a GPU-Z test and noticed my PCI-E slot said x1 instead of x16. Now, I know this is weird, since my other games were running at really smooth graphics still. Regardless of what I thought, I followed the employees advice and went to reseat the graphics card. While I did that, I cleaned out all of the dust from my computer, reseated the graphics card, and unplugged, blew out, and plugged back in the wires around the CPU.

Not sure how or why that fixed the problem, but it did. Running at a smooth 40-50FPS again on high settings, currently using the 13.4 AMD drivers and application profiles.

It may be something to do with the April update for Guild Wars 2 with the super adventure box as I’ve had exactly the same issue. It’s more skill lag than actual lag but I also get these infinite loading screens which force me to close the game on my windows bar and then restart… Only to have the same infinite loading screen over and over again.

It’s getting quite ridiculous now and it definitely isn’t a hardware or internet issue. My opinion is that it may well be on ArenaNet’s end.

SAB has worked fine, and the problem we seem to be having is more FPS lag rather than skill delay or whatnot.

I’ve opened a ticket, but I was in class all day so I was unable to follow up with their requests. Downloaded the new AMD Drivers (again), clean booted (again), still having no success. Super frustrating, my LoL client runs at 80 FPS and SC2 is running at about 50 on max settings.

I doubt it’s a hardware issue.

Something wonky happened with the windows security update and its interaction with Guild Wars 2. It’d be oddly coincidental that all of the people posting in this thread happened to have a hardware problem on the same night after the same update. I’m pretty much lost, going to try a clean install of GW2 and see if that fixes it by the time I get back from university.

Let me know if you have any luck.

So, after further research, I’ve done the following and had little-no success on fixing the problem:
- Clean boot
- Uninstall all previous graphics drivers, reinstall the latest ones
-System restore to two different points before the update last night.

Nothing has worked, changing settings ingame doesn’t help either. My physical memory is also skyrocketing. Dunno what else to do, hopefully someone finds a solution or we get a response soon.

Make sure that Windows Update didn’t update your video driver. There was a new patch that went out today. Other than that I don’t know. Heat issue? Left some other task running, a browser tab with videos streaming?

Taking guesses.

I noticed that the Windows Update was the only thing that I did between last night and today that’s completely wrecking my FPS. I tried system restoring to before that point, but I’m still getting massive FPS drops. I’m in the same position as OP – normally got 40-50 FPS all around, now I can’t get more than 10 anywhere, regardless of the settings. My physical memory also maxes out whenever I open GW2, and only when I open GW2.

Really running out of options – clearly formatting doesn’t work..maybe there’s another update to fix this? Always seems to happen to me when I actually have time to play

As I recently picked up Guild Wars 2 again, I was actually having a blast with the game and leveling up my account, eager to hit 80. Normally, I run the game at about 50 FPS on high settings, and it made for a very fun, smooth, and enjoyable experience. As of today’s patch, I’m currently sitting at 10 FPS consistently through all zones, regardless if my settings are on high or low.

I’m not sure exactly what was changed – I have an HD Radeon 7850 graphics card, and all of my other games run fine. I updated all the drivers and checked the stickies at the top for improving ingame performance.

I was looking forward to playing GW2 late tonight, since it’s one of the few nights a week that I have to enjoy the game, but with the problem I’m currently having I doubt I will be able to do so without getting frustrated.

Any advice would be appreciated, as well as similar instances – thanks.
