Guild Wars 2

B Rad.5416:

Check the thread from people having the same issue from the 9/9 patch, they still have not fixed anything from 3 months ago. They don’t seem to really care because it is not happening to enough people.

Completely agree with this. I was one that was effected. Before the patch, easily had 30-50 FPS on an older machine… Now I’m lucky to hit 30, most of the time 15-20 with random spikes… then trying any group event and I’m down to 1-3 FPS.

Really sucks because I enjoyed playing, but not enough to buy a whole new machine that hopefully works.

I’m bumping this as well. Terrible performance, basically making the game unplayable. One day it was fine, then patched and now terrible performance. Only difference was the patch. I’ve tried updating my drivers, no change. All my other games play just like they always have, it’s just GW2. Mine has been a consistent drop. 7-15 when standing still, 1-2 when trying to battle even in sparsely populated areas.

Also, the loader performs terribly too when updating. Notice that it uses 15-25% CPU while updating and the windows desktop manager process uses 30-40% while the loader is just running… I’m guessing this is related.
