shadowpass.4236 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Any time it starts raining, my fps drops insanely low. It happens in PvP on Khylo as well as PvE and other areas in the game. Is there a setting I can turn off to get rid of the rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urud.4925 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Also one of the chapters in the last LW story has a heavy rain, and it was almost unplayable for me... Awesome graphic, nothing to say, but I could almost count the frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Have you tried lowering the effect details? Also deactivating post processing? P.S. I agree that this game needs a serious overhaul of the engine, because even on mid- and high-end PCs you can encounter severe FPS issues during large group events.

BunjiKugashira.9754 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I just got a new graphics card and fps still drop below 30 in some areas. ANet really has to consider a complete overhaul of the graphics engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANet really has to consider a complete overhaul of the graphics engine. :+1: Not even unparking all cores of a decent i7 quadcore CPU helps with this issue. I complained about this just yesterday in another thread. I got literally seasick doing a bounty train on Sandswept Isle and had to leave after 15 minutes because of nausea.

shadowpass.4236 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I can usually run max graphics at 60 fps but as soon as Scourge and classes with insane amount of graphics sewage start casting skills, or its starts raining/sandstorming/snowing... my fps drops to like 4.

Dravyn.4671 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Where is it raining? I haven't seen any rain in this game, and I have max graphics settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoGunner.4953 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 There are certain effects, which affect hugely the FPS and I read every week about stuff like this. I noticed this the most with the storm effects during the Maw event in Wayfarer Foothills: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Frozen_Maw As soon as the storm spawns the fps goes from whatever 30-40 to 15. Let's face it this engine is ancient and still uses a 10+ year old directx version. It's really beyond ancient - especially in computer terms. They really have to overhaul it and they know it.

I haven't seen any rain in this game, and I have max graphics settings It's in many places in the latest map. There are also a few places in Core Tyria where it rains as well, such as Salma's Heath in Queesnsdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANet really has to consider a complete overhaul of the graphics engine. If it is a sudden drop to 30fps.. it may not be game related but Win10/gpu related.. There is a known issue regarding Win10 and fps since the fall update in windowed fullscreen.. just google it and find some useful tips that might help... I find switching to windowed mode in game then switching back sorts it out.. for a time at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got literally seasick doing a bounty train on Sandswept Isle and had to leave after 15 minutes because of nausea. Core #6 and #7 are idling here as well while the first ones are in Turbo on my Ryzen 7. It doesn't make sense at all, I mean, I have never seen a program that supports multi core but seem to neglect anything more than 2 cores. Everything on my last PC upgrade had a speedboost except for this game, which just had a small benefit from upgrading my GTX970 to a 1080. But else, it sucks to see your CPU stuck at 40% usage and D3D usage of my GTX1080 of 50% - but then having unstable 32 fps on FullHD without Anti Alias. aNet really needs to hurry up if they want to keep and gain new players. It's a shame that you see many screenshots here on mid or low end computers running subsamples low-quality textures on many screenshots while the same system could handle GTAV easily. Excelsior.

shadowpass.4236 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Does anyone else have any ideas on how to turn off rain/snow? I go from max graphics at 60 fps to like 10 as soon as it starts raining/snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
