Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

When playing on my laptop, I have noticed that the text in the Black Lion Trading Company is extremely hard to read. Anyone out there who’s got a similar problem? Or maybe it’s just the way the native resolution acts?

Thank you.

Hi all.

Recently I’ve been having severe problems with GW2. On my laptop it starts just fine (albeit it has better specs than my stationary), but when on my stationary PC the game just freezes my computer.

While in this state, I cannot press Ctrl+Alt+Delete och Alt+F4 to turn anything off. After 30-40 seconds the screen resolution also gets smaller. About 25 seconds in music starts playing, but I can’t do anything.

In the end, I am forced to restart my computer and upon restarting I am prompted to start the computer in safe mode.

I know that my drivers are all up to date. I am on Windows XP SP3.

Computer specs:
Processor: 2.66 Ghz Q9400
Graphics Card: GeForce 8800GT 512mb
Memory: 4gb DDR2 (I think)
PSU: 650w

Thank you for any assistance.

Hello everyone!

I noticed that Jen Taylor has done some voiceovers in the game. She have among others voiced Cortana for the Halo series! I recognized her voice from Demmi, who you rescue during your personal story (at least, for me!).

Problem is that I’m in Sweden, so I am a bit sceptical towards shopping out of the country.

Hmm, overclock you say… Never tried it, so I don’t really know how that works out. Know any good guides on the net? Maybe there’s even software for it?

My motherboard nor PSU aren’t that old, I think.
My PSU is a Corsair that sits at 600w I believe. My motherboard is an ASUS P5Q Pro.

But according to GW2’s “Minimum Specs”, my components are better than what is recommended. Shouldn’t the game play decently at the lowest possible settings then…?

Hello everyone.

Recently purchased GW2, haven’t played all that much but I’m enjoying the game thus far.

However, what bugs me is my really low FPS-count. Even at the lowest graphics settings, I am merely getting a 15-25 fps average. Sure, my computer is nowhere as good as newer computers, but I can play most games on medium-high settings and get +50 fps.

My computer specs are the following:
CPU: Core2Quad Q9400 @ 2.66 Ghz
GFX: NVidia GeForce 8800GT 512mb GDDR3
Memory: 4×1gb @ 400Mhz
OS: Win. XP. Home (SP3)

Mind you, that I am playing on the lowest graphics settings in-game. And I have set my settings in the NVidia Control Panel to performance.

What is really odd though, is that the difference between the lowest and highest settings on my computer is only about 7-10 FPS, shouldn’t it be… more??

In any case, would like some input on what could be exchanged to yield better performance. Replacing the entire system is not an option, even if 99% of the people around would suggest it.

Thank you.
