Guild Wars 2

See it wasn’t a troll! I was able to play all night tonight and never have fps issues on high settings as to where I was getting under 15fps on low settings before. I honestly don’t know the details of how this works I play all my other games with high fps. It was just gw2 with low fps and I stumbled upon someone saying flash player making people lag so I googled “flash player causing low fps” found a blue post from the WoW forums and tried what they suggested and tadaa fixed for me. So I thought I would share it. It’s worked for 5 people now (that have posted at least) including me so I’m just happy I was able to help.

It has to do with the settings with Flash Player not youtube. I just say to go to youtube because that is the easiest way to get to the settings haha.

No problem! I hope it solves it permanently I’ve been playing 3 hours now with good fps. Hope the same for you guys. I stumbled on this from a wow blue post actually so I tried it and it worked.

You may have to refresh the youtube page for it to work btw!

Open up a youtube video (any) and right click the video > click settings > make sure “enable hardware acceleration” is NOT checked! Disabling this made my cpu usage go from 90+ to 60-70 and I have had 60+ frames again! I think it has to do with flash messing with your gpu. I was getting 8-15 fps before until I did this. May not work for all of you but it’s a miracle for me.

Edit: Refresh the youtube page after doing this then launch the game or relaunch if it was already open.
