Fps drops in Grothmar Valley

Anyone else having fps problems with this map? I have quite heavy and constant fps drops. I mean it dosen't have much going on right? I get way better dps on Dragonfall for example (rest of game aswell)

Yup - it's pretty appalling. Just tried the concert event and it was a complete joke. Thought this might re-kindle my Interest in GW but several times in the last few days the game has just been unplayable.

The concert is among the worst offenders but the area near the flame Legion camp and effigy is also problematic. I lower my settings for the former and ride by quickly for the latter. I wonder if it might have to do with the HEAVY player traffic in the zone and the large NPC movements going to the concert and the effigy when their events are about to start.

Whenever I have FPS issues due to the amount of people nearby, I do the same thing: lower the maximum player model count and quality. Works wonders. :)

Sure, I do that to. But I don’t thinks that’s the problem. I have the same constant low fps even when other players are nowhere near me. And of course fps are low at the concert because there is so much going on. I’m talking about just running around near the castle for example

Have you tried unparking all your CPU cores? Do you have hyper-threading properly set up?

Dropping Max player model count to lowest and turning off shadows really helps in high pop areas (like world bosses or new maps).
