Guild Wars 2

Locce.8405:

There is already a longer thread about this very issue including a dev response. Please try this quest again with minimum graphics settings. For some people this has resolved the issue.

I tried, it did not fix the problem.

Setting everything to low didn’t solve the problem for me.
I always get to last ship and nothing more happens.
I hope this is getting solved as I can’t finish my personal story.

The same happens to me.
I spawn inside the last ship, I jump into the water and respawn inside the small boat.
Then on the last ship nothing happens, and the story gets stuck. I’ve tried everything I could think of, but nothing seems to work.

My Mac is getting old, maybe below minimum requirements, but I am very happy to see a Mac beta so early.
Anyway here’s my results:

Early 2008 24-inch iMac
2,8 Core Duo
4GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS 512 MB
OSX10.7.5

Bootcamp-W7 – 30-45 fps @ 1920×1200, settings on medium-low
Mac Beta – 10-25 FPS in PvE and 3-10 in WvW

Graphics and especially sound performance is way better, even with lower settings. As someone has reported before me, the game seems to have to “load and convert” almost everything, from tooltips to maps to icons (it’s particularly lagging when opening interface windows such as Inventory or Hero panel).

I’ll be playing in Bootcamp hoping for a patch to improve my Mac client performance to at least 25fps. I know it’s a crappy computer but there’s always hope
