Guild Wars 2

i should have said that my fan speed is customized…it runs at ~80% when at 75°C and ~90% if at 80°C
i clean out the dust regularly
so my fan speed is always at ~90% if OC’ed + supersample and it still won’t reduce the temps

let’s just hope that santa will bring me a fresh new Gigabyte GTX650-TI twinforce
it’s half as cheap as a GTX580 and about 20% more powerful…theoretically
so i can use a sledgehammer on my GTX580

had such nice framerates two months ago…no need for OC’ing anything or tweaking anything…60FPS everywhere T_T
it sounds so unrealistic now…

Nitro.4732:

wauwi.9162:

don’t set rendersmapling in-game to “supersample” a GTX580 just can’t handle it and the quality difference is absolutely minimal – not worth it, to make it work 4 times harder

This is not true, I have the GTX 480 and i run with vsync enabled 60fps in PVE with rendering set to supersample. it does make a difference, I have a very smooth and crisp looking game now.

Settings like Reflections and Shadows are best on their lowest setting or disabled for maximum performance, also Shaders will put a bigger hit on the GPU that supersampling will.

doesn’t your GPU catch fire or something like that? mine does on supersampling T-T
i never should’ve compared some GPU-Z logs, one on native and one on supersampling
40% usage vs 100% usage
71°C vs 81°C
not to mention that my framerate drops by 10FPS on supersample and will go nuts if anything like water is in sight (reflections @ “none”)

BTW…you’re getting like ~10FPS more than i do in PvE…i never liked logic anyways

i’ll stick to BIOS OC…that asus-oc tool isn’t accurate…it always freezes my PC when doing even the slightest voltage changes

i doubt a GPU bottleneck…

i barely see any difference between native and supersampling @1920x1080p (max resolution of my screen)
the usage will go from 60-70% (temps at 69-76°C) to 95-100% (temps at 80-81°C)
so the minimal increase of quality isn’t worth it for me
you will see the most performance boost on native while being on a heavy loading area with lots of water/reflections (that are the spots where my GPU goes nuts on supersampling, even when turning reflections to “off” @stock clock settings)

nice clocks…i can’t get it to work stable with anything higher than 900MHz and 4200Mhz memory clock

oh god
i should take on a reading-class or something like that
i will delete my posts immediately because of stupidity

to make look myself less stupid:
here’s a nice little tool you might give a try to check if your memory causing errors:

http://www.hcidesign.com/windows/

the first entry, called “MemTest” might help you during the progress of tracking down the problem

try deleting the “local.dat” file, located at /my documents/Guild Wars 2/

i’m seriously about to start thinking, that my CPU’s (i7 950) displayed clock-speed is lying to me
i mean @3,1GHz = 46-48FPS in the middle of divinity’s reach
and @3,6GHz = 46-48FPS in the middle of divinity’s reach
and @4,1GHz = 46-48FPS in the middle of divinity’s reach

the same applies to any other area, where i’ve tested it (some PvE areas, some cities)

the only difference: temps are higher at prime torture tests…obviously
but they remain at 55°C while playing GW2, no matter at which clock speed my CPU is running

i must do something wrong if OC’ing my GPU boosting my framerate, but OC’ing my CPU does not while everybody out there telling you how much CPU dependant GW2 is

i like how all benchmarks are useless when it comes to Guild Wars 2

however, my christmas wish:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti Windforce 2X

quite powerful, and very low in price, therefore, i am able to get a second one to SLI up with in the future

i’m wondering why my current older, slower card, a GTX580 is still priced twice as much as a GTX650

Rampage.7145:

+30FPS PVE, +20PVP/dungeons, +10WvW Low/med settings

this
however, i’d say WvWvW should run a little bit better at low/med

argh…i knew it
my FPS is down again even when lowering the GFX settings it’s at 40-45FPS again
Squall Leonhart is probably right…the past 2 days of superb performance are caused by an huge lack of online players
now it’s weekend – and, what a surprise, back to unplayable stutterish camera and movements (FPS spikes – one sec 10, then 50, then 20, then 30 then 20)

edit: i can get about 5-10FPS more depending on the geolocation of my IP
it’s an dynamic IP which keeps changing automatically every 24H
so that means i have to refresh my IP until i found a location which gives me the least latency
sounds like fun, huh?

i’ll get an electronic compressed-air shooting device next week…hopefully
so much dust everywhere

however, my temps are fine (35°C idle, 55°C while playing, 66°C on a maximum heat test with prime)

@OP:
almost the same setup like me…i have a i7 950 OC’ed @3,6GHz, though
don’t tell me, that you’re also runnning a rampage III extreme mainboard :P

personal experience with my GTX 580:

i get around 10FPS more when overclocking to 888Mhz
also OC’ed my memory clock to 1100/2200/4400Mhz (GPU-Z would show 1100MHz and MSI Afterburner would show 2200MHz)
thats a summed up performanca boost of about 15% in-game
of course, a customized fanspeed is neccessary
also, make sure you GPU gets enough power, or you might see random game or driver crashes or shutdowns

and don’t set rendersmapling in-game to “supersample”
a GTX580 just can’t handle it and the quality difference is absolutely minimal – not worth it, to make it work 4 times harder

i also got 10-15FPS more by messing around at the nvidia-cp:
make sure "Antialiasing-Transparency is set to “off”
“Power management mode” to “prefer max performance”
“multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration” to “single display performance mode”
“texture filtering – quality” to “performance”
and “ambient occlusion” to “off”

if you now disable/lower reflections in-game and set rendersampling to “native”, you won’t need any GPU overclocking anymore

a GTX580 isn’t meant to be overclocked in the first place…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FPS-Issues-merged/first

just sayin’…
oh and more details would have helped too…you’re not even mention your current FPS or even slightly reffered to any of your system-specs…you’re just nagging

try the topic i linked and post your issues with details about settings, performance and system specs there

it is spinning…quite noisy (customized fan-speed…i try to keep my GPU’s temps below 80°C when playing GW2 – without success tho…it’s on 81°C on 95%+ load)

i rolled back to driver version 306.97 and increase the voltage of my GPU to 1,113
let’s see how stable that will run…

btw…off topic currently…so if anyone is intrested in helping me out by sharing their knowledge, just drop a PM ;D

Squall Leonhart.2075:

the client hasn’t changed at all, so its not that…

probably just having a day with few people on

i don’t think THAT much people left the past days…still having 15% more performance than 2 days ago

i don’t think server optimizations would need client patching

but unless some facts about my performance boost coming up, i’ll treat this as a magic miracle

Zodiak.6875:

Some good suggestions in there

I will first have her delete the local.dat file, but to my knowlege all that ever did was save your login info unless I am mistaken.

I will also ask her to go into her Control Options and have her use the Restore Defaults function.

oh well deleting the local.dat file does restore all in-game settings too so my suggestion to look into the control options was pretty stupid and pointless after all

having a GTX580 and didn’t noticed any changes in terms of quality and/or performance
driver version 310.61 probably just includes ambient occlusion enhancement/fixes, but since i have ambient occlusion disabled, i can’t tell

it seems like it’s just an urgently released driver version for black ops II

edit: i have sudden shutdowns after being 15-30 minutes in-game with this driver version…i’ll check if i can re-create this situation with previous versions

diving goggles FTW

fabulous

well…GW2 doesn’t heave the best graphics out there…but by far the best in any mmorpg
and since mmo’s tend to be very demanding on your system, because alot stuff happens graphic-wise in-game very randomly, thanks to other players (not to mention, more players online – more stress to the game’s server), put “mmo” and “awesome graphics” together for some nice PC-BBQ

my GTX580 would probably catch fire if i wouldn’t limit the framerate

btw: most of my GTX’s growling is caused by a customized fan-speed

magically, i have really nice framerates since yesterday – didn’t changed anything on my system lately
i even increased the in-game’s quality settings and still 60FPS mostly (even at lion’s arch)
almost perfect now and more than just playable – enjoyable

is anyone able to confirm this?

try the good ol’ multifixfirst : delete the “local.dat” file, located at /my documents/Guild Wars 2/

if that won’t help:

does she using any macros?
i’ve read some posts here regarding randomly pressing keys without touching the keyboard, turned out it were macros

does she (accidently) changed anything at the in-game’s control settings?
every action can have 2 different keys linked to it – she should check the control settings

i’d also like to see a task-manager screenshot to see if some other application, that are running in the background may be responsible for this

well now i’m out of ideas…sorry

Aspar.7285:

4. Overclocking the CPU for this game is THE BEST you can do to increase your FPS if everything else is ok. I have overclocked the PC of every single person i know, that plays this game, and they all have a HUGE boost in performance, simply because this game is notoriously CPU bound.

OC’ed my i7 950 from 3,6GHz to 4,1Ghz: not a single frame per second more
downclocked it to 3,1Ghz: not a single loss of performance
have it currently clocked at 3,6Ghz

oh and OC’ing my GPU’s core&memory clock gave me about 15% boost of performance

OC’ing your CPU might help on 4-cores below 3GHz or 2-cores according to my experience (my little brother runs an old pentium 2-core…only 200MHz gave a nice boost of performance)

anyways,
i’d really like to hear some official words from the technical support about the huge performance boost i have since yesterday
my framerate rose from avg 35 on heavy loading areas & 55 on low loading areas @high settings/no reflections/native rendersampling to 57-60 EVERYWHERE, even at LA (limited by v-sync) @high settings/reflections:terrain&sky/supersample

if it wasn’t the dev’s “fault” then maybe i should thank my PC-component-guardian angel who watches over me? :P

@rampage
thank you kind sir
i wondered why i am experiencing this issue since yesterday – must be a problem with the new MSI afterburner release (v. 2.3.0)
the GUI always runned while “hardware failure detected” popped up

you don’t have to but i recommend them
you can just try them out and if you are not happy, go to the default settings again

tho, running nvidia’s default settings on GW2 is not a good idea imo

i’d really like to know if the game’s developers recently changed anything on their servers
now, i can pull off 60FPS even at heavy loading areas in PvE or even in most of LA or the norn-starting area where i never got 30-40 mostly while having rendersampling at “supersample” and anything else at “high”
just reflections are at “terrain&sky”

reflections seem to be one of the main culprits for most of my framerate drops now

oh well my performance is probably down at 30-40FPS again tomorrow…i shouldn’t get too hyped now

you might have different driver settings or in-game graphic settings
at the nvidia CP, go the “manage 3D setting”
set “triple-buffer” to “on”
set “power-management” to “prefer max performance”
set “multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration” to “single-display performance mode”
set "texture filtering – anisotrpic sample optimization to “on”
set “texture filtering – negative LOD bias” to “allow”
set “texture filtering – quality” to “performance”
set “texture filtering – trilinear optimization” to “on”
set “threaded optimization” to “on”
set “ambient occlusion” to “off” (might prevent invisible terrain if rendersmapling is set to “native” in-game")

edit: now that you mention it…i really have quite some performance spikes at norn-areas O.O

considering the fact that you are on the overflow server at LA while adding the game’s current optimization issues up to it, those framerates seem totally normal

you can get the most FPS back in LA by turning off reflections, in case you spend alot time there

more information would be appreciated
some nvidia beta drivers caused that issue on my PC as well as a low vcore (tho, every other application as well as stability tests ran just fine)

try different graphic-card driver versions and test each driver for at least an hour

if you OC’ed your GPU or CPU:
monitor their temps and lower the clocks
if the temps should be fine, try increase you CPU’s voltage by one step and test it for at least an hour ingame

mesmer.
period.
especially if you like twin-blade style as much as i do.

those PvE framerates sounds pretty normal to me at the current situation
and if you are at LA, did you checked your FPS while on the overflow server?

anyways,
1: set rendersampling to “native”, reduce shadows & reflections
2: disable all windows visuals (optimal way: rightclick your GW2 shortcut, go to properties —> compatibility and check the two “disable visuals” options, that you’ll see – now, everytime you launch GW2, some designs and aero peek will be disabled until you close it)
3: check your network connection (a helpful tool to optimize your connectivity, called “TCP Optimizer” might help you to reduce the ping)
4: make sure that no power saving settings are enabled
5: perform a “clean boot” (google it) and then run GW2 and check it’s performance, to exclude the possibility of another application slowing the game down
if you notice a big boost of performance after doing “5”, track down which program possibly slows down GW2

a new version of MSI Afterburner was released yesterday…v.2.3.0
if you already running this release, try “v.2.2.5 beta1”

looks like the fixed it a little bit…have ateady 60FPS now at “native” rendersampling
tho, i had to set everything to max performance at the nvidia CP…-_-’
“oh hi there aliasing effect, how’s it goin’?”

Nitro.4732:

Propeller.5264:

Ecidemon — here is a screenshot from MSI Afterburner

Hi Propeller,

In the screen shot you can clearly see that the GPU is getting hotter that 100c (as shown by the green graph line maxing out at the top of the graph) as the graph only goes to 100c you may actually be running at higher tempperatures.

it’s not his temps which are going up to 100, it’s the usage…
his temps are fine

@Propeller:
try deleting your “local.dat”, located at “/my documents/Guild Wars 2” and the “Gw2.tmp” located at the game’s installation directory
if this doesn’t help, try reinstalling GW2 completely

make sure it’s not your network settings and check if any power saving measurements are enabled

make sure no other program slows down GW2, perform a “clean boot” (google it, if you don’t know how to do so) and run GW2 to make sure no other application is affecting it

also, make sure rendersampling is set to “native”, reflections are turned off and shadows are set to medium

@FaceYourFear
i don’t “feed the troll”
i’m trying to help…as i said, chances are he got nice framerates during the beta
but now it already launched and really is “massively multiplayer”
he won’t run it perfectly on maxed out graphics, no doubt but i said at least 30FPS or higher should be possible
my little brother’s PC got a GTS8800 and an old pentium dual core OC’ed @2,9Ghz and was able to play GW2 on medium settings at 30FPS (now he’s playing at around 20…but he doesn’t really care…so :/ )
and OP’s system is quite more powerful

btw…GW2 is installed on a SSD (OCZ Vertex 60GB 6GB/s) but it doesn’t affect the framerate that much (well…depends on which kind of HDD you compare it to)
but it highly increases the loading times and reduces stuttering caused by drive-to-ram buffering

SKIP if you don’t want to read all my problems and stuff
i had steady 60FPS after the first nvidia update when GW2 came out
now it’s around 30-40 mostly (PvE)…but compared to the 30-40FPS i had at the first week after the launch, it’s unplayable (crazy FPS spikes…one second i have 60 and then 9 then 40…weird)
my desperate trials to fix this reaches from audjusting my nvidia CP settings to clean my PC (virtually and physically) until crazy OC’ing my i7 950 to above 4GHz
it all completely failed…
so much for the “GW2 needs so much clock speed get more clock sped guys it’s very CPU bound guys”

only OC’ing my GTX580’s core-clock to around 900MHz at least gave me around 3-5FPS -_-’
the major problem i can see: GW2 refuses the utilize more than 50% of my PC’s performance capabilities
only if my gfx-card is OC’ed, it uses almost all my GTX has to offer…but my CPU’s usage still won’t go above 50%
I’ll wait for server and client tweaks, a driver which adds more than just ambient occlusion fixes to GW2 and the support of more than 3 cores and/or HT
GW2 is such a well designed game…such a pity it’s unplayabe for me at the moment
btw: dx11 would make things even worse atm…one step after another…
end of my story

but 4FPS? even on max settings your laptop should be able to go up to 30+FPS (even at the current performance situation)
i’m not wondering that OP was able to play GW2 at the best quality during the beta…way~ less population
@FaceYourFear:
if you seeking a troll…someone around here keeps telling that he can reach 400FPS+ in PvE on max settings @2560x1600p and 55FPS+ on WvWvW zergs as well as up to 90 in lion’s arch easely

@OP:
-remove all unnecessary programs if you have alot installed
-if your windows partition is above 70% usage, delete all unnecessary stuff
-clean your registry (make a backup before you do so, most reg cleaners asks for it before trying to clean)
-try different drivers for your GFX card
-check if some of your components have newer driver versions than yours and update, if newer versions are available
-try reinstalling GW2, if “-repair”, deleting “local.dat” and “Gw2.tmp” didn’t helped -defrag your HDD (if you aren’t using SSD’s)
-check if your laptop got any power-saving measurements enabled and disable them
-at your graphics card’s control panel, set everything to max performance
-check your network connection (test your down&upload rate at http://www.whatismyip.com/speed-test/) you can tweak your connectivity with “TCP Optimizer”…just search&download it, run it, punch in your download speed, click on “optimal” and run the tool
it asks you to make a backup – do so, then reboot
-while running GW2 terminate all unnecessary programs which are running in the
background and disable all windows designs (google for “Game Booster 3.4”)
tip: you can check if other application slows down GW2 if you perform a clean boot (google FTW) and then running GW2

well that’s about it…everything you actually can do, but since your laptop isn’t really the best:
set rendersampling to “native”, lower shadows, level of detail (LOD) and disable reflections
disabling vsync might give you a boost if you don’t mind possible screen tearing
you might check some OC tutorials on the internet for your CPU, after you informed yourself about overclocking and it’ risks, goods, bads and everything else which is important to not break your computer (don’t expect much more clock speed, since you are using a laptop and it’s build-in fan)

that hopefully will make your game playable
other than that: wait and hope for patches/updates which boosts the game’s performance

well it’s definitely not my hardware…it’s the game’s bad optimization…the dev’s admitted it
it’s now even below 40FPS since the latest patch most of the time on MEDIUM settings (PvE – outside of cities—-doesn’t even want to know my framerate at lion’s arch/black citadel)
i give up until a super epic nvidia driver/more super epic GW2 patch is out

it was at so nice and steady 60FPS during the first month after GW2’s launch…but that feels like an impossible framerate now

well…i could increase my ramerate by 5-10 if buying a new GFX card which runs @1GHz graphics-clock and with a dynamic OC feature (most cards of the GTX600 series have it)
i just don’t like to OC my GTX 580…it’s not build for it

would be still unplayable for me…because the FPS spikes, which makes the game looks like 20FPS…
it’s very noticable if you suddenly drop down to 5FPS for 1 second and then go up to 72 just to drop down to 30…it’s just crazy

i hope for a GTX660TI to christmas…it contains an assasin’s creed III digital download code…hopefully this game is optimized to a playable state next year

didn’t wanted to play until a new driver update is out (nvidia), so i installed it, launched GW2 and the most fearsome event happened: it patched

another patch, another driver update, another FPS drop
i am used to it already
well…now i can’t even pass the 50FPS mark anywhere at native rendersampling and without reflections…a new bottom
running around with 30-40FPS on medium settings mostly (was steady 60FPS[vsync] on max quality after the first driver update since the game launched)

nothing we, the players aka customers (lol) can do about it other than wait and hope

most of the GW2 players doesn’t seem to care which won’t help fixing the performance problems that soon…

did it worked? :D

try the command line argumend " -windowed"

right-click your GW2 shortcut, go to “properties” and go to the “shortcut” tab and locate “target”
the line should end with “…GW2.exe”"
at the end of that line, simply add " -windowed" (without the quotation marks and WITH the space) to it and run the game

now, the game should run in windowed mode and hopefully you will be able to reset the settings back

you can just delete the line you added or make a new shortcut afterwards, or the game always runs in windowed mode if you continue using that shortcut

nice idea, tho, i got my own spots to test my performance (in PvE)

if it’s a forest near a river, where i can test how much shadows&reflections affect my performance or a mountain, where i can test my LOD performance
i tracked down all of my FPS drops on such areas

so i can be pretty sure that it’s neither my network or CPU, because increasing my CPU’s clock doesn’t help there, but doing so with my GPU does boost my framerate to a playable state for me (around 50) but still stutters/lagging bad at the above areas with the described attributes (lots of shadows, reflections or a wide view)

btw…your daughter and you probably got different systems and GFX-settings, i guess…
my little brother runs GW2 faster than me…he got a GTS8800 and a dual core @3GHz but got everything on low/medium

also, some PC-components are way superior to others, but can give you a performance drop…
optimized drivers must be released as well as the game itself must be optimized (which will take quite some time according to the developers)

if you want to know if your network is the problem:
get “TCP Optimizer” and test the latency on your and your daughters computer

grinds? here @GW2? where?
people seem to forgot what a real grind actually is…

i start to describe something as a “grind” as soon as i have to be one spot killing the same lame mob over and over again for several days straight just for one lv-up/piece of gear/quest
that’s what keeps most F2P mmo’s alive actually:
spend a bunch of money into several drop/boosting items

can’t say it’s the case in GW2

about gear threadmill:
don’t you want new content frequently in any mmorpg?
first people criticize the lack of endgame content and now this…make up your mind, guys :D

if my driver crashes, it recovers automatically and it resets to it’s normal voltage/clock speed after a screenfreeze followed by a short blackscreen
happened to me a few times while testing different OC settings - in-game and at the desktop screen

so blackscreen issues might be a driver crash, but not the FPS drops...other users must have noticed and also reported the short freeze/blackscreen before a FPS drop

alot people say it’s might be GPU throttling, cause it’s temps and usage became too high...
well, my CPU usage never goes above 50% in-game and my GPU never goes above 60% usage in-game
both components’ temps are quite cool in-game - around 50°C (around 122°F)
TC’s compenents are way better than mine...so his GPU/CPU usage will probably be even lower as well as his temps *looks at his cooling system*

just can’t be the driver only if those FPS-drops always get worse after every 2 patches they release for this game

well…i thought that it’s not possible…but now i even can’t past the 40FPS mark anymore (it was 40-60+FPS yesterday…have my very own places where i always check my average framerate)

OC’ing your GPU can help you
look up some OC tutorials especially made for your GTX to see what’s the optimal clock/fan/voltage
for my GTX580, the most stable setup i could aquire is a clock between 888 and 902MHz and a voltage of 1,1v – fan speed settings are customized-auto depends on it’s temps
was able to get 10FPS more…which still is not even quite satisfying for me

btw…the best tool for monitoring/OC’ing your GFX-card is “MSI Afterburner”
but personally, i do not recommend OC’ing a GFX card…not until they are actually made for OC’ing like any current-gen CPU
and some newer GFX-cards dynamically OC’ing themselves (similiar to intel’s speed-step thingy)

OC’ing the CPU is also not the solution if you got at least a quad core @3GHz…OC’ed my i7 950 to 4Gz without any performance boost

OC’ing RAM and installing GW2 on a SSD just reduced stuttering and increased the loading times (better than nothing, i guess…)

but the only fix i found so far: lower the graphics (i prefer to disable reflections and set render sampling to native – anything else gives either none or just a slight boost of framerate)
everytime when i’m about to launch GW2, i say to myself “please no patch please no patch”

btw…running 20-40FPS now -_- (sys-specs @sig)
guess i only start playing this game again, when i’ve got a HAL9000 in my possession…

not a good description of your problem, sir

did you rightclicked the GW2 shortcut and added -repair (with a space before -) and then launched that shortcut?
if yes:
have you made a registry backup with ccleaner?
if yes:
double-click on that backup…it’s a “.reg”-file (tho, i also use ccleaner and never had problems so far…)
if this still didn’t solves the problem…reinstall again? O.O

what was your problem in the first place? why’d you reinstalled GW2? why’d you reinstalled GW2 AND THEN runned a registry-cleaner? what are your system specs? does it work NOW at this very moment? (a-net just applied a bunch of patches)

you’re confusing me…

you can monitor your system’s/GPU’s temps either with realtemp, speedfan or (GPU only) MSI afterburner

2 other things which you might give a try:
re-install the nvidia drivers AND/OR go to the nvidia-CP and reset all settings

my little brother runs a GTS8800 which sometimes changes the resolution itself when in high usage (which is easely done in GW2)

the game’s probably not fully patched yet…wait an hour or so…the launcher will probably download some more patches

i like this idea
please move this to the suggestion subforum :D

now it’s average 40FPS instead of 45 for me
could also be caused by a higher population, caused by the LS-event

it was at average 35FPS at the launch for me

edit: just saw more patches coming…so wait until the patch is officially frontpaged

this patch made my CPU goes crazy…it was at a higher usage than actually ingame :D

note: wait for others to post in this topic…they might have more accurate answers
my suggestion:
first, try to delete your “local.dat” file, located at “/my documents/Guild Wars 2” and the “.tmp” file within your folder where GW2 is installed

if this doesn’t solve anything:

get CCleaner (google it), if you did not already have it installed…it’s a free system cleaning software, similiar to “TuneUP!”

now delete the whole GW2 installation folder (if there are exactly 3 files in it, it’s the right one)

install CCleaner (it asks you if you want to install google chrome…just say no to it) run it
go to “extras” and “uninstall programs”, now search for the GW2 entry and go to “delete entry”
now go to “registry cleaner” and click on “search for errors”
on the appearing entries, uncheck everything which is not related to GW2 and click on “fix errors” (you might as well just fix everything…installing/uninstalling programs often trashes your registry, which slows down your computer)
it asks you if you want to make a backup of the registry entries you are about to fix, just say “yes” and save the backup file anywhere…you never know ;D
(if anything bad happens after this, go to the directory where you saved the backup and just double click it)

now try installing GW2 again

hope it helps

try disabling “in-depth blur” at the in-game graphics settings
