So i logged in yesterday, in the evening, and was having huge lags in sPvP on all the maps, like every day last few weeks. I was trying to find a solution and unbelievably, it looks like i have fixed my lags finally. Sometimes i still get a lag, but it occurs maybe once in 10 minutes and the lag lasts for 3 secs maybe. So no more skill delays and 10 secs lags or even disconnects, the game is finally playable for me. I tried the game today, and still no lags.
Windows 7 Enterprise
ISP: Slovak TelecomI did these 5 steps:
1. Click the Start menu, then select Control Panel -> Click on Network and Sharing Center -> Click on your primary connection or Local Area Connection under ‘Active Networks’ -> Click the Properties button -> Click once on ‘Internet Protocol Version 4’ and click Properties -> Click the radio button ‘Use the following DNS server addresses:’ and type in the ‘Preferred DNS server’ field this adress: 208.67.222.222 and in the ‘Alternate DNS server’ field adress: 208.67.220.220 -> Click Ok
2. Click the Start menu -> In the search bar type ‘temp’, without the apostrophes, and hit enter-> delete everything from the folder, skip what cant be deleted
3. Click the Start menu -> In the search bar type ‘prefetch’ and hit enter-> delete everything from the folder
4. Click the Start menu -> In the search bar type ‘cmd’ -> In search result RIGHT-click on cmd -> Select ‘Run As Administrator’ -> In the command window type ‘ipconfig /flushdns’, again without the apostrophes as everything what i wrote between them, and then hit enter -> Type ‘Exit’ and hit enter again
5. Download TCP Optimizer here -> http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php -> Once downloaded, RIGHT-click on the .exe file and Run As Administrator -> There are a lot of settings, if you want to play with it, you can, but i just hit in the ‘Choose settings:’ field ‘Optimal’ radio button -> Apply changes, reboot your PC.
Dont forget to empty your recycle bin.. !
Now just start GW2 and try it, i hope it will help at least any of you. Also i tried only sPvP, maybe it will help in WvW and dungeons too.. Give response after you try.
Edit: The lags are back
so it was working only for a one day..
Nice find! It worked for me. I’ll see how it goes. The only issue I had was my ‘temp’ folder not showing up, but I followed the rest of the steps. So far no lag. I’ll keep ya posted.
