After the Windows 10 force update GW2 started running at potato quality, so I downloaded an updated driver and it let me return to my regular graphics settings. My graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 960m and I downloaded the driver for the 960 series. I have a laptop but I assumed it was not the netbook version of the graphics card though that could be the issue. Whenever I try to load into a map the golden circle spins in the corner for a while but then it eventually freezes. The only was to actually load the map is if I press ctrl+alt+del and then press cancel to return to the game. I’ve noticed that the water textures seem to be a little screwy (pictures below) and have also had issues loading snow next to rock textures (in Lornar’s pass for example) where a bright blue and green texture loads instead (no picture). I’m assuming these are related to the inability of the maps to load normally. My settings are also shown in the picture.
