Devs,seriously,optimize the instances already.Why on earth do i get 50 FPS in the open world but in this instance 16-20 FPS max which makes it almost unplayable.Sometimes it even goes down to 10 FPS.Fix it!
DxDiag is attached but i highly doubt it’s my PC since i got good FPS everywhere else except citys.
Sorry but i won’t fiddle around in my registry just so i can squeeze out a couple more frames in a game with an absolutely horribly optimized engine.How can i know this won’t mess up other games FPS big time?
I know you only mean it good OP but nah,i wouldn’t do such things just to get one kitten game running better.It’s arena.nets job to get their kitten together and fix their engine.Costumers shouldn’t have to go into their registrys and change stuff.
@michaeljhuman………yeah,they are “looking into it” for multiple months now.Their performance was absolute garbage in Beta and it still is.
“looking into it”.God i’am so sick and tired of this.“looking into it”,when it comes from a developer usually means “We have no friggin idea what the problem is and we will probably never get it fixed”.
There is literally no reason to not patch this in.Please give us true action combat in Guild Wars 2.This is one thing that would make the gameplay so much richer.
Still gettin 0% GPU load even with a new HD6950 in big WvWvW fights.Something is wrong with their weird engine and i’am gettin sick of it.Multiple months Beta testing before release wasn’t enough to fix this problem i guess.What a joke.
WvWvW is Cpu intensive caused by the huge amount of player to render
I’am fine with that but then please let the GPU render all the other stuff like spell effects and particle effects and so on because having everything rendered from the CPU obviously will give crappy framerates for people that don’t have high end i5’s and i7’s.
My graphics card is still sleeping in WvWvW Battles,it’s not even on a constant 20% or something more like 0% GPU load and sometimes up to 20% for a couple seconds.Just upgraded to a HD6950 (not just for GW2 because that would be really dumb) and i had the same problem with my old HD5770.
Every other game uses my GPU perfectly and gives me really nice framerates (even BF3 is nearly maxed out now and runs smooth as butter) but somehow your weird engine won’t use it in WvWvW in situations where it is really needed.
So,WHEN can we finally expect a fix for this?I’am gettin sick and tired of having 10 frames in WvWvW battles.It can’t be that hard right?
Only add this is you also add a “vandalism merchant” that allows you to buy cans of spraypaint and tomatoes and eggs and whatnot that you can then toss/use on the statues at will.
The amount of kills, amount of events completed, time spent active in WvW
This would hardly be a fair way of showing who is best, the highest kills would solely be won by those who use siege as they can demolish teams, so it would be a case of our could press F quickest.
most events completed can easily be done by escorting supply Dolyaks, as you can do about 2-3 in the time it would take to take down a tower.
I’am no developer but i guess Arena.net could come up with a solution? ^^
Just give players with everything they do (kill keep lord,kill a player,place trebuchet and so on) kinda like WvWvW points?The 10 players that have the most at the end of the 2 week battles get the statue.Ok,then it wouldn’t really represent “the best” players anymore but the ones that participated a LOT in WvWvW and gave their best to lead the server to victory.
I don’t know,i think there could be a solution to that.
I really liked the feature in Warhammer Online that when you worked your butt off in RvR for your server and made the most points/kills and so on you got a statue made out of stone of your character in the citys(felt really good when i had mmy first statue of my good ol Magus in the Chaos City).If i remember right the 10 best RvR players got one.
Since we have or will have 2 week long WvWvW battles,at the end of every 2 weeks the best 10 players could have a statue for 2 weeks (that look exactly like their characters) in the main citys,maybe in a (Hall of Honor?).On top of that Arena.net could maybe add a special,unique looking WvWvW statue set (that looks absolutely brutal) where you get one piece of it every time you get one of the statues because you were on of the best players.
What do you guys think about it?Let me know.And what does Arena.net think about it?Developers are welcomed.
And why would anyone ever code a engine that has really nice graphics but doesn’t utilize the graphics card much?Who had this genius idea over at Arena.net?
It’s like he said “Hey,so,people these days have really powerful graphics cards but eff it,let’s make the engine use the CPU more than the graphics card”.DUH.
For 1 week or so the character draw distance is somehow broken.NPC’s and players are popping up left and right from me and i can’t see NPC’s and players that are 10 meters away from me (only the ones that only popped up and were loaded).This was definetly not the case in the first week after the game went live.Or if you intentionally reduced the character draw distance please at least give us a slider for it.
This game is gettin more unresponsive every day.Not only do the FPS suck in this game since friday,the ability delay get worse and worse and worse.And what does Arena.net do?OF COURSE they are allowing even more people to get in with making digital download available again.
Grats Arena.net.Very smart decision.
EDIT:Did anyone notice that WHOLE ZONES start to lag like crazy when there is a dragon fight in the zone?Experienced it yesterday in the zone were tenquatl is,dragon appeared and shorty after that crazy lag and ability delay up to 5 seconds or more and i was not even near the dragon.
This sounds like more of a driver problem and its AMD that has been ignoring us, they just dropped their monthly driver releases leaving video card owners in the dark, its them you should be complaining to not ANet, we may not get a new driver until the end of the year sadly…
No it is not.The patch in friday screwed up the performance of the game big time.Before friday they game was running better with every patch they put out,i was actually kinda surprised how fast they can optimise the game (at least in the leveling zones) but after this patch all went downhill.
Definetly not a driver problem.12.8 + CAP 2 worked very nicely before this patch.
EDIT:And no one should ever use this crappy site that is sysrequirementslab.It just compares your PC to the system requirements that the developers gave out which are 90% of the times complete BS.
This site wanted to tell me that i couldn’t play crysis even on low settings when it came out.Turned out i could play the game just fine with a mix of middle and high settings.So,stay away from this site,it’s BS.
No No and NO!This was one of the most lazy workarounds in AION.I hated it in AION that you only saw player names.Arena net needs to optimize the game and not use cheap tricks to make FPS better.
Feeling the same way as OP.The patch on friday made this game a unplayable mess.Just not fun lagging around in the world and having 20 frames in group events.I really wanna play this game but not like this.
There is huge ability delay going on in the last 2 days.Yesterday it was OK’ish,today absolutely unplayable.Ability delay of 1 second or more and some “F” key abilitys need to be hammered multiple times to cast.
Playing on riverside is a absolute pain in the “bleep” at the moment.
EDIT:And not to forget FPS get worse with every new patch you guys put out.
The performance got even worse with the september 9th patch.Before september 8th patch i had 50-60 FPS in most areas (except citys of course) if there was no huge event going on,with the september 8th patch it went down to 45 and now after the september 9th patch i’am on 35-37 FPS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ARENA NET!?By the end of next week i’am down to 10 frames or what?
So i was just checking MSI Afterburner while i was in a big WvWvW zerg and i notized that my GPU doesn’t get utilized one bit in WvWvW zergs.Sometimes it goes up to 20% usage for 1 second and then back to 0%.I would really like to play some WvWvW but it’s simply not fun lagging around there with 15 frames.
The game in general is horribly optimized.Who had the genius idea that the game should utilize CPU first and then the GPU?It should be the other way around.
Just not fun to play anymore since yesterday.There is so much ability delay going on lately.Sometimes it’s 1 second delay and sometimes you have to literally hammer the button so that the ability casts.
And no,it’s not my internet.Many other people said it’s the same for them in chat.
Please fix it.Incredibly frustrating to play like that.
Same issue for me.Sep 8 patch killed the performance again rather than improving it.In areas where i had 50-60 FPS i now have 45’ish FPS.Before the patch i could play group events pretty smoothly (except dragons those things give me 5 FPS as soon as they show up) now it’s laggy again. >.<
Of course i’am rather lucky because it’s still playable but still,patches should improve performance and not make it worse.

This.I just “fought” my first dragon today and what can i say,this runs EVEN WORSE than WvWvW.It was literally 5-10 FPS.My skills wouldn’t even work,just autoattack.Changing graphics settings to all low didn’t give me a single frame.
Something is horribly wrong with their engine and really it’s not fun if you can’t play a huge part of the game WvWvW/Dragon fights.
I think you should adjust your expectations from your system with just about any modern game. You need to run at min detail level.
The game is unoptimized as hell,period.I don’t whine that i can#t run the game at 60 FPS all the time because that will never happen with my system,fact is the GPU doesn’t get utilised properly and the CPU neither.
Obviously you didn’t read or understand the article.
Your CPU performance is holding back your video card. Because of this your GPU will not be able to run at it’s fullest potential.
Your video card should be adequate for “best performance” settings with your current CPU. Or possible “balanced” if you were to upgrade.
The game is quite optimized for modern hardware and does a great job keeping old systems gaming. Like the previous response, adjust your expectations, your system is at least 3 years old and multiple generations behind current.
A Q8400 is not holding back a HD5770 what are you talking about?I have no problems running other games.Of course i’am not running them in highest settings but i don’t do it in GW2 either.This CPU,while not the greatest wouldn’t even bottleneck a 6850/70.
@Brem,my temperatures are all good.55 degree celsius on my Q8400 and like 70 celsius on my graphics card when gaming.My PC is also free from dust.
Driver is 12.8 with the newest CAP installed.
EDIT:My FPS are really good in some areas 40-60 FPS but in some places it just takes a huge nosedive.

Only 20-30% GPU load with my graphics card which gives me absolutely terrible FPS in some places,especially world vs world,citys dynamic events with many people and dungeons with huge amounts of volumetric fog.
My graphics card isn’t used at all in this game which gives me terrible FPS in some places in the world.Can you guys please optimize the game so it uses the graphics card?There are people that don’t have a high end Core i7 that can compensate for not using the graphics card at all.Of course every driver is up to date so it’s not my PC.
