While Running the Game normal, i have no Problems, FPS somewhere at 40-60. After minimizing(and maximizing again), switch to fullscreen or changing the window size, FPS fall down to 5-15.

System:
Windows Vista Home Premium
7650 GS
2Gb Ram

Do you know the problem, what can I do?

Ty for help,
Max Maulwurf.

does the FPS stay at 5-15 or does it go back up again? If it's just half a minute or something it's probably your system catching up with the server.
Try using Alt + Tab - it seems to work well with GW.

No, it does not go back again, it stays at 5-15, till i restart GW -.-

There have been documented problems when running GW in Vista and minimizing GW. Basically, don't do it if you can help it, is the easier solution.

I'll see if I can scrounge up some threads.

I have a similar problem too. When I put GW in windowed mode, it slows the FPS down. It doesn't do that when minimizing and restoring though.

Solution: I just don't run it in windowed or do anything with it while playing.

I'm running Vista on my Dell XPS M1730 laptop w/ 8800M-GTX SLI... it used to have framerate problems, but these went away once I updated the video drivers to the 175.16 drivers.
