The point is, that every wise guy says its my system, but the truth is far from that. I didnt have any problems with my PC, I am playing BF3 for whole day, If I want to with well over 100FPS and nothing happens, I am playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, CSS: GO, Skyrim, Max Payne 3 and so on and on…and NEVER EVER has my PC crashed or I had any problems with performance. So this is definetly not a problem with my PC, its GW2 client problem and an error somewhere in the code.

My nerd rage detector is going off the charts. Try toning it down a bit batman.

You might “THINK” you don’t have any problem with your pc just because it plays other games fine, doesn’t mean its going to play GW2 & that your system is 100% stable. Have you done any stability testing? I’m guessing no..

Why is it that I’ve got six (that’s right 6) pc’s here that I bench/play/test GW2 with & not a single one of them has any issue whatsoever? Why is that?

Consider yourself lucky cause I’ve tried this game on 3 PC’s and it still run’s like **** (and crashes) no matter what I do. This game is the most awfully optimized game I’ve played in years.

The thing is, the game doesn’t even look that good, even on max. We ALL realize it’s a different engine, but when people can play any other game just fine, it’s the ArenaNet’s fault, not ours.

Speak for yourself.

Yeah ok man whatever you say. It’s easy to point the finger if your not very IT savvy.

One of the things you realize after being around pc’s for 25years that if something doesn’t work, it’s ALWAYS someone else’s fault. Can’t POSSIBLY be my computer… NO WAY MANG!!

This,i have seen so many times,crashes are Most likely due to something wrong in your hardware in combination with the gw2 engine offc,but the Biggest problem def lies in your hardware,drivers.Wich most people wont accept because their systems are Leetz and can play bf3 on ultra zettingzzz!!

All I can say is that atm I use 8120 8 Core, I get 60 FPS maxing out Battlefield 3, Team Fortress 2, Witcher 2…..but I only get about 12 fps in Guild Wars 2

And what´s your other hardware ? Because i have 50 – 100 usually,pvp a bit lower though. And like i said,you need to OC the hell out of the FX to see its power,which im sure you didn’t.

I got very good hardware, BF3 on ultra constantly gives 50-80fps. And thats an insane demanding engine I hope you agree!

This game however, constantly drops down to 15-20 and goes up to 100+. I was fiddling with settings, turned down AA, and LOD view distance too, that didn’t help either, so I have to say that the engine BADLY need a fix.

My Spec: Intel i920 @ 3.7Ghz, Ati HD6990 (O’clocked), 6GB 1866Mhz DDR3 Ram, SB Xfi surround Pro 5.1, 24" Dell HD tft 1920*1200… So no my pc is (still) high-end.

People need to stop comparing BF3 with this game,BF3 is NOT an mmo,Different engine,and FPS.Seriously people need to stop saying this,its irrelevant.IF you want to compare then start comparing other mmo´s like FF or Tera or whatever.

i dont want to reinstall my drivers…
my drivers are fine (or it has to be fine)… everything else works like a charm…

Really ?!? " I Lag..but but..i dont want to do anything about it and uninstalling drivers is SOoooo much work and it takes forever and i rather much complain about my low fps then try to take advice from people "

THeres something wrong with the Reflections setting it seem,enabling it gives a small fps loss,thats not the main problem,but the game suddenly stutters while my fps maybe only dropped by 3 fps with enabling reflections on ALL,it’s feels weird so i rather disable reflections all together and then my game feels smoother,while basically having the same fps.I can even use supersample if i disable reflections ( you wont even notice that reflections is disabled btw,normal reflections still work ). I really really think arenanet still needs to optimize the crap out of this game,plus some support from nvidia would sure fix this to allow us with higher end systems to finally take benefit from this.

I didn’t know GW2 is extremely CPU intensive.

I’ve reset my CPU back to stock and I lose a lot of FPS with it. It’s an Intel 3930K Sandy Bridge-E 8 cores 16 HT.

Ha Ha Ha, you mean 6core/12threads…. Yes GW2 is very cpu intensive.

Also SLi is working very well.

Sli is not working well at all,ive played more Cpu bound games ,but enabling sli would Always gave me huge fps hit no matter what settings.In guild wars putting the settings to low wont even change the fps that much,enabling SLI wont give me more then 5fps boost maybe.SLI is absolutely Not working as intended,and nividia needs to release a better profile for it.

“I have read over a hundred times now that game is crashing for everyone in 2-10 minutes time span while playing, causing they’r PC’s CTD and needing to hard restart”

I don’t think this statement is correct.Tbh i have never crashed yet,not a single time,wich makes me wonder if the problem doesn’t lie in faulty hardware in your system,don’t rule out that possibility.And if you’re gonna post error codes,make sure you Do post them correct,not 0005something…we can’t do anything with that.

All you people that say bulldozer suck,Sorry but you couldnt be more wrong.Im running the game on a 8120,not even a 8150,have it oc\d to 4.6 and i have yet to see my fps drop lower then 40,max is well over 100. 2x GTX 560ti aswell,but their barely being touched,hoping nvidia will fix the issue of sli usage problem for this game,or its on arenanets side,no idea,but i know my cards can do better though.Anyway the Fx serie is seriously not a bad cpu,underrated.At stock i agree it kinda blows and not worth its money,this cpu will only start to shine when oc’d to atleast 4.4,you’re all set then.
