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 systemCPU: Intel i5 3570KGPU: NVidia GTX 1050 TiRunning 2 monitors at 1920x10808GB RAMSSDWindows 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 FPSTask 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 issuegraphics driver update didn't change anythingturning off GeForce Experience / "ShadowPlay" didn't change anythingMSI 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.
