Guild Wars 2

deltaconnected.4058:

From before the halloween update: 28.1fps
From right now: 27.6fps
Seems well within the range of “no difference at all”. These aren’t exact to the pixel, but the FPS doesn’t change when you move left/right/up/down slightly and is why I chose this site as a benchmark. Night and day don’t matter either. Go and try it if you don’t believe me.

I’m not saying this is a bandwagon thread, I just don’t see anything besides the anecdotal “i think its slower” that’s posted after every, single, update.

The biggest problem that I see is that not everyone is having this problem with this game build. I have friends that are having no problem with their fps and see no change from pre-halloween and post-halloween. It’s affecting some users and others not all.

It doesn’t seem to care what specs were before the patch. You see people who had ~60 fps in lets say LA on Nov 4 are reduced to ~40 after the 5th. Someone like me who has a lower end system, is happy with ~20 fps in LA or PvE but when it gets reduced to 6-7fps, that’s not so easy to play with anywhere. I truly believe that this is something that happened in the patching process. Too many people having problems recently (as of Nov 5th) with fps for it to be the “your system is crap” excuse or “lower your settings” go to.

The problem is not his setup/laptop. If he’s been running the game fine until a few days ago, it really can’t be something with his system.

I am in the same boat: running on a laptop and got decent fps (~20) until around the 5th. At the moment, I can only get around 6 in LA and worse in dungeons. Seems to be something on Anet’s side that’s changed.
