Guild Wars 2

So I managed to get it load (slowly), but it’s completely borked. Graphics are glitchy, audio is glitchy, laggy as all hell.

I decided to try going to kessex hills… it loaded… slowly. But it loaded me under the map. Then it started spazzing out and refocusing the app window multiple times. Game become unresponsive. Had to task manager force close it. That took a bit too because GW2 is tying up my whole system when it hangs like that.

ya just look for local.dat in the start menu search. It’ll come up.

Deleting it didn’t work for me. I have all sorts of crazy problems.

So, I can log in. My game doesn’t crash. Except I still can’t play because I can’t get past the map loading screen. And on the odd chance I do get past it (only happened twice so far since last patch), most of the mobs are invisible, I’m laggy, and it’s unplayable anyway.

I’ve tried the local.dat trick, no dice. This is all since the patch today, too.

When the game first launched, my application loading times, and my map loading times, were incredibly short. Never more than a second or two at most.

Tonight, after the launcher downloaded the latest patch, game refused to load past launcher. Got nothing but black screen when the game itself tried to load.

Had to reboot after installing latest AMD profiles (which from the notes don’t seem to affect GW2) at all.

Game loaded, but it took forever to do so, and I’ve been noticing that every patch has made my game, and swapping map zones, take longer and longer.

Finally getting into the game tonight took a long time, loading the first map area took forever, swapping zones takes an inordinate amount of time… I just don’t get why new patches are making my load times slow down. I doubt that’s intentional…
