Guild Wars 2

Same problem here when trying to enter the instance of the Hybrid as a party. Client crashes with the error reporting that it can’t connect to the login server.

Looks promising. I’ll test it out later, but it does seem to have nice damage output, and options to retreat quickly enough. Thanks for sharing!

Someone posted to let the game run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 or SP3. This has worked for me. It forces the game to run in a DX9 environment. My game ran on the lowest settings on 15-19fps. Now, forcing it to run in DX9, it runs mildly good on Medium to High settings in 25-30 fps.

I run this on an Intel i7 2670QM 2.4 GHz with an NVIDIA GT555M. I had great performance a few weeks back but with a patch, the fps was horrible. Now, it runs OK.

To force the game into the DX9 environment you can follow these steps (this only applies if you run the game on Windows Vista or Windows 7):
- Right click your GW2 icon on your desktop or the GW2.exe in your program folder and select “Properties”
- Select the “Compatibility” tab
- In the option “Compatibility Mode” tick the box and select “Windows XP Service Pack 2” or “Windows XP Service Pack 3”
- Click apply and and start the game.

I hope this helps some people… It helped me at least.

Same for me. I play it on a GTX460 SLI setup and yesterday it runs fine, now it doesn’t run smoothly anymore. A few days ago, the same happened to my notebook; runs fine first after patch; runs worse. I don’t know what they’re doing, but I sure hope they get it fixed soon.

Personally, I would wait, because the latest patches caused many GFX card to perform worse.

@SmackJack: The OP is right. I also have a nvidia GT 555M and it ran fine yesterday. It was on medium to high settings running at 30 to 35 fps. Now, with the latest update, I can’t get beyond 15 fps even on low settings… There’s something wrong with the game and its latest update. And the CPU is just fine. It will overclock itself anyway when more power is needed.
