Guild Wars 2

FPS issues and crashing are not the same topic, whoever merged this thread… They may be caused by the same issue, but they are not the same topic. Also, I have a 64-bit system, so the suggested fix might not be the fix we all need. I’m still waiting for my FPS issue to be fixed however. I’d like to play the game I bought sooner or later. Please keep us a bit more up to date and let us know your progress on identifying and correcting the issues and don’t herd the crashing/FPS people into the same bunch unless you give us a better reason than “same topic”.

GPU – NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
CPU – Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA Driver 306.02 Beta

In games like Skyrim I have smooth 30+ fps on ultra settings, but in GW2 I see little variation between my fps in max performance/appearance/auto-detect. It stays around 20-30 fps usually, but some days I see 15-25 it seems. Alone, this framerate might be bearable, but in areas of moderate casting and action, I see a nastier 10-20 fps. My GPU usage doesn’t go above 60% and my total CPU usage is around 60%, but none of the cores hit 100% (every so often I see a 90 spike in one, though). I see no bottlenecking yet in my system. So yeah, I have the same symptoms as the the rest of this lot it seems. In all fairness, I haven’t left Shaemoor yet, but with this framerate, think it’s best to wait for a fix so that I can enjoy the game once I officially “start” playing it.

Actually, while I’m posting, I might as well agree that I feel like this game out to switch some more stress over to the GPU. Although the CPU isn’t bottlenecking me YET, it will once this is all sorted out, and it seems like more people want to see it optimized for their GPUs than their CPUs. Thank you Arenanet however for actually caring, however! A lot of companies seem perfectly conteent in ignoring these sorts of things. Let us hope for a massive patch!
