Guild Wars 2

Just reporting that after the most recent patch I am-still- having issues. You can find my specs multiple times earlier in this thread. The game ran alright for me after the September 8th or 9th patch for a couple days until the patch after that, then it was awful again. With the exception of those few days my FPS has consistently been 10-15 FPS or less. I know based on those few days where it was way more it isn’t that my computer (which is above minimum requirements) is the issue either.

Arenanet, fix your game. It’s been almost a month now and this game is still essentially unplayable for me. I think I have been pretty patient but this is almost a month after launch for this $60 purchase that also had months of beta testing…and this is still a massive issue. Worse, it seems more and more people are getting poor frame rate after each patch and you guys aren’t even giving the slightest updates on the issue. If fixing it is taking a while, at least let us know what is going on so we have confidence that things are progressing. Sure there’s no subscription, sure you already got my $60, but I definitely would like to play this game I paid for and right now that isn’t even really possible. I am honestly pretty close to just giving up on this game, which is terrible since I had extremely high hopes for it.

My FPS was finally fixed with the September 8th (I believe) patch. As of last night’s patch my game is again running terribly. In fact it seems to be even worse than before. Before the 8th I was getting 15fps at least now I can’t get more than 6-7. I enjoyed the last few days of actual good FPS…please revert whatever terrible change you made. This sucks.

Again, my specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53 GHz
4.00 GB RAM
Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
Nvidia Geforce GTX 260M (Display Driver: 306.02 Beta)

Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53 GHz
4.00 GB RAM
Windows 7 64 Bit OS (Service Pack 1)
Nvidia GTX 260M (Display Driver 306.02)

I have had terrible terrible nearly unplayable FPS the entire time. I get 15-16 FPS maximum, typically it’s around 10-12 when I am out in the main zones/areas of the game. Crowded places like Lion’s Arch or events where tons of things are happening/dungeons I get 5 FPS or under. I pre-purchased prior to BWE2 and the game ran excellently for me during BWE2. BWE3 it started having these FPS issues but I thought it would be cleared up by launch since I had a great experience before that. From the headstart till now I have still had these FPS issues.

Naturally I have put up with it anyways because this game really is fantastic but I would really love it if I could get more FPS. My computer (which is a laptop btw) is well above the minimum requirements as far as I can tell and I would honestly be happy even if I could double my FPS to reliably be around 30. Right now this is below-N64 quality of frame rate and that really sucks to deal with on a PC, especially one I have run recent games like Batman Arkham City and Skyrim with high FPS. I hope you guys resolve this as soon as possible, it’s really depressing when I watch my friends play the game with 60 FPS and it runs so fluid and I get slideshow mode.

Oh, and I have tried all of the graphical settings. Almost none of them have made any difference in frame rate. The ones that do only change it by 1 or 2 FPS…enough where I think it is probably negligible. I have been playing with shadows, reflections, etc. on lowest possible settings anyways though.
