Guild Wars 2

Hi Locx. Thanks for replying.
I will try reinstalling onto the SSD again first.

I have been playing for about a week with it installed onto the harddrive, and it was running fine. It was only today I decided to install it onto my SSD instead.

I’ve ran around quite a bit. Lions Arch is running fairly bad, usually around 20 frames. Out in the wild I can get up to 35, but still stutters at times.

I’ve checked the drivers, all seem up to date and everything seems to run smoothly. The reason why I’m posting at all is because I’m so confused as to why it isn’t running well.

Also, forgot to mention in my original post, the Harddrive I had it installed on is a 1tb Seagate barracuda (Which also holds my Steam library and music/movies, and is about 75% full.

Today I reinstalled my Guildwars 2 onto my SSD, since I’ve recently got back into it and wanted to decrease the load times.

After installing and patching the game, I logged in and realised that my frame rate had more than halved.
Before, my frame rate would be a stead 60 (I limit to that) and would only drop very rarely to kitten (fourtyfive to fifty.. Why does that flag as a swear word?) if a lot was going on onscreen.
Now, however, it hovers around 20-25, and stutters fairly badly.
I’ve tried the same graphical options, detected graphical options and best performance options, and at best I stretch to 25-30 fps.
Why is this? Almost all games I try on my SSD are only effected by decreased loading time, FPS and performance never seems change.

The SSD I use is the Samsung 840 pro. I have one or two other games and my windows installed, leaving around 50% free space.

I’ll post my specs too, but I want to point out that I’m sure its nothing to do with the other components since it worked fine on the HDD;
i5 3570k OC @4.2GHz
AMD 7970 3gb
16gb RAM @1600 Mhz
Windows 7 x64

What should I do? Reinstall back onto the Harddrive, hope it works like it did before and just deal with the increased loading times? Or is there an easy fix I’m missing?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
