Guild Wars 2 Forum

I have two machines that we sometimes play Guild Wars 2, we haven't jumped on the HoT beta, as we think the expansion is expensive to us who already own the game, but we are still affected of all the updates. On one machine the game is almost unplayable with CX13.2.0 (5-14fps) and it is unplayable with CX14.1.8 (2 fps).

Had been nice to see something that would improve the performance of the game and specially a 13.2.1 release, as the 14 has just been a horrible experience for me...

Seems that vsync enabled in nvidia-settings makes the FPS to get really low, disabling it makes GW2 to get a number of FPS more which makes the game a bit more playable, but also affect the desktop environment to be less optimal (not always everything get properly updated).

Sorry to hear about your troubles with GW2. I'm running GW2 on my laptop with Intel graphics and getting mid 20's to 30's fps, ie very playable. I just checked not 5 min ago and all is working fine in GW2 including the latest patch.

Running 14.1.8 of crossover

I have been using PlayOnLinux with a staging version of wine, then I get up in ~22 FPS in the game and it's generally playable. Using crossover 14.1.11 I get ~25 FPS at the character selection and in the game it drops down to ~12 FPS and it's like frames are missing. For me the whole 14.x has been worse for each release. 13.2 is better, but not as good as a current wine staging.

I too get a lot of slow downs when playing GW2, almost unplayable.
