Well after installing that driver and changing the majority of the gw2 settings to low, I have been able to achieve 25-30 FPS in certain areas. I get 60+ when I go to the hall of monuments. lol not sure what else I can do..I will try playing with these settings for a while and see how it does.
Thanks for the reply God Of Fissures. I actually just installed a new hard drive thinking that is what it was. So I am running on a fresh install of Windows 7. I’ve also ran tests on all of my hardware and all checks out ok. So I’m guessing it is something on ArenaNets end, but who knows? I could be wrong. It would just be really nice to play again.
I know this has been posted many times before, but maybe I can get specific help for my problem. Back when GW2 launched, I was getting 60+ FPS in PvE areas on almost highest settings. About 6 months ago, give or take, FPS dropped to an unplayable 10 FPS even on lowest settings. I have tried the suggested settings in the official post and no help. Made a few tweaks here and there and got up to 25 FPS, but it is still laggy. Not sure what info is needed here, but I will post everything I can think of.
Specs:
Windows 7 x64 bit
CPU – AMD FX 8150 3.61 Ghz
RAM – 16 GB
Graphics – AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series w/latest drivers
HDD – 128 GB Crucial v4 SSD w/latest firmware
All drivers are up to date.
I’ve unparked all cores and that didn’t help. I know a lot of people will probably say it is because of the AMD processor, but I still shouldn’t be getting this bad FPS. Anyone have any suggestions at all? Im hating that I can’t play something I paid hard earned money for. If you need any more information, please let me know.
