For some reason my game is only running on 10-20 fps MAX when it usually runs on 80-100. None of my settings are changed in-game or on my system, and this only started when guild wars decided to download a few updates...my ping is even through the roof from 300-1000. Is this happening to anyone else? I've auto-detected settings, put them all to none/no quality and it still seems to be stuck at 10-20 fps. My FPS in other games are perfectly fine how they should be so it seems to only be Guild Wars related...

Oh I have an ATI x1300/1550 with updated drivers...Dell XPS 400
2.5GB RAM

In-Game Settings:
Full Screen 800x600
Refresh 75
Anti-Aliasing: None
Terrain Qual: High
Reflections: All
Texture Qual: High
Shadoq Qual: Medium
Shader Qual: Low
V-Sync: Off
Enable Post Process Effects
Use Best Texture

So nobody else has experienced a huge drop in fps lately? Just me?

Had a similiar problem last night whilst in Alliance Battles with a couple ofmy guildies, lag was so bad it's a wonder I wasn't reported for Leeching, as none of my spells were going off right and when they did I was usually either dead or too down on life to save myself real problem when your an Ele.

I have noticed the same thing as well. It seems to have started after the most recent patches.

Same here, I was pulling ~30fps on max settings....after the updates/patches I seem to be stuck to 15 or so...even when lowering my settings.

Funny, my FPS went up with the recent updates. Steady at around 340FPS with vsync off (which is way up from the 290 I was getting, could be the new nVidia drivers though), but... mind you, i Play with vsync on, so 60FPS.

If any of you find a fix please post back...this is just unplayable for me

Wakka · Nov 21, 2007, 09:32 AM // 09:32

I have the same problem. A very poor FPS for no reason. So if anyone can help, please do ^^

Is anyone else still having this problem, even after recent updates? Because I sure am. My ping stays at a steady 100-500 but my FPS seem to sink to an unplayable 6.

Is this a Gw specific thing or should I have my comp checked out?

try running the game with less background programs on.
