Guild Wars 2

I’m trying to update window 7 right now and get 7-service pack 1 which I’m missing. I’m not sure if that’s the main reason for my fps not changing on either high or low settings.

I get that its launch time still and that there are a lot of players in the area. But, I played Star Wars: Old Republic during launch and could run the settings on medium to high most all the time. I wasnt getting amazing frames on the higher settings but I was more than happy to be at 30 fps. Thats more than playable for me. I mean, id be happy as all get out if I could just pull a constant 20fps on this game. If that were the case id just bite the bullet and spend the money to upgrade my hardware. But I cant justify upgrading right now when the settings change nothing.

You have a better computer than I do so I don’t understand how your computer is struggling as much as I am.

Turion ii p520 2.3GHz
Radeon 4200(GPU doesn’t meet the requirment)
4GB RAM
Window 7 home premium 64-bit

I am planning on getting a desktop soon though with good enough specs to run guild wars 2, but I’m just surprised lowering the settings really doesn’t do much for me.

Ive emailed tech support and received their automated response email even after updating my question twice. Ive followed all instructions for updating drivers and changed all settings in game to their lowest or off if possible. Maybe I expected to much from my comp but I am above all system requirements to run this game. Standing in a normal area I am getting around 9 fps. If I put my face at a wall I can get up to 25ish fps. The thing I find interesting is that even if I turn my in game settings to medium sets, I get the same fps as on low settings. There is literally no change in fps when doing this. If this is not a server side problem I fail to understand their logic in their system requirements. Why can I pass your requirements and still have so bad fps? I mean, I wouldnt have purchased the game like an idiot had I been below what was expected.

Sadly, I have the same problem. I’m not sure if anyone elses graphic settings do nearly nothing. I can put my settings to high-medium and I still have equally the same amount of fps if I were to just leave it all on lowest possible settings. My fps is just slightly better than yours as I get 20-30 fps moving around unless a mass amount of players are around possibly dropping me to 15-5 fps.( PvE wise)

I don’t understand that logic as in many other games I’ve played increase my fps by 10-20 fps more than what I had if I lower my settings.
