I have since made a new char and fps issues have resolved themselves. Would recommend trying this for anyone with similar spec PC and report back.

The problem consists of many factors coming together

 

First is the really bad implementation of DX9 in the AMD Radeon R5700series drivers.

Second is that GW2 mostly uses the CPU and only to some extend the GPU.

Third is that the 2020 series of AMD drivers do not only have problems with DX9, but there is even a situation where there could be a black screen on the Windows Desktop as the driver gets unloaded. This is triggered by 912pxy for me too.

 

So we have problem which is AMD related to two thirds and one third by Arenanet. Usually an engine cant be changed so far, but here we have a problem with the implementation of DX9. We saw that some other DX9 games are working without problems. Maybe ArenaNet could check this.

 

As for AMD, ArenaNet should be in contact with AMD to solve this soon, as they will lose many players to other games like this.

 

In my case i either have lags every now and then for a few seconds or i get a black screen of death. As one commanding mostly in WvW, some in PvE and doing som PvP here and there, lags and stutters are not too good, right?

 

I wanted to try the D9VK from this thread, but actually that domain does not exist. There is a wrapper from DX9 to Vulkan too, but i could not find a compiled version of that one to test.

 

Trying D9VK brought my 2 GW2.exe errors in PvP and the comments of a matchmanipulating troll, which i reported. So back to square 1 again.

And why do you get a dishonor debuff when the game gives you a GW2.exe error?

 

My speccs btw:

Intel i7-7700K

MSi Z270 PC MATE

2x 8GB Corsair DDR4-2400

Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 5700

Windows is on a Cruicial MX100, GW2 on a Samsung 970 Evo.

dxvk on github , untar it and grab the d3d9 and dxgi , drop them in bin64 folder:

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

 

older d9vk link https://github.com/Joshua-Ashton/d9vk that refers you to the dxvk site

 

To remove it just delete the two dll

 

Initial performance will be stutter-prone until the shader cache rebuilds.

Actually after creating a new charechter, I've had exactly **zero** black screens, or frame rate issues or frame time stutters. Had a single application crash this evening and loaded right back up to keep playing issue free for another couple hours.

 

If it's any help, I'm running 20.1.3 drivers and have no intent to update them as they work with everything I play currently.

I must be incompetent or blind, because I can't find a single DLL, only folders.
