Fhynix.2105 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi all, today I logged in to check some winterdays content and noticed massive FPS drops (6-10 FPS). My system was able to run GW2 smoothly at 30-60 FPS for the whole year 2018 and now suddenly, I can barely play. **My system** CPU: Intel i5 3570K GPU: NVidia GTX 1050 Ti Running 2 monitors at 1920x1080 8GB RAM SSD Windows 10 **When did it last work?** Last thing I remember is doing the roller beetle races in Gendarran Fields and Kessex Hills, maybe in late November. No issues back then. I have not logged in since then, so maybe / hopefully it is related to a Wintersday update? **When does this happen?** The issue occurs **only in non-instanced content** (e.g. Open World, Cities). When I enter e.g. the Sun's Refuge or my Guild Hall, everything is fine and at 60fps again. I just went to the Heart of the Mists, where I had the issue, but as I approached the portal to Lions Arch (where no players stood), FPS climbed up to 23fps. However, I always had this issue in Jahai Bluffs, no matter whether I was alone fighting NPC creatures or having another player near me. **What did I try?** * tweaking the graphic settings doesnt change anything. Even at everything on "Lowest" / Off I don't go above 12 FPS * Task Manager says, CPU load is constantly above 80%, sometimes above 95% * Task Manager says, GPU load never surpasses 20% (I am standing still in Jahai Bluffs) * I unplugged the 2nd monitor and changed the Display Settings to "Use only 1 monitor" in Windows. Although I got a new 2nd monitor for christmas which replaced my old 1280x1024 screen, I doubt that this will be the issue * graphics driver update didn't change anything * turning off GeForce Experience / "ShadowPlay" didn't change anything * MSI afterburner says, GPU temperature is between 40-60°C Any ideas what may have caused this issue? I am wondering why this issue appeared "overnight"... **/edit, Solution: There seemed to be a problem with GW2 and the version of arcdps I was using. Uninstalling arcdps (removing the .dll) solved the issue.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraEP.5892 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Do you have any recommendations for the same issue with the AMD Radeon Pro 580? I know its not the greatest graphics card, but my game runs PERFECTLY outside of a random drop in FPS from the 60s down to 9 and it stays locked at 9 until I waypoint somewhere, and then its fixed again.
