sorry, I totally forgot to say, that I wiped GW2 completely from my system and made a new installation. Before doing so, I deleted every single folder related to GW2. Unfortunately it also didn't help 😞
My newest idea is, that something's off with the vertical sync. My screen was set to 100 Hz and GW2 limited to 60 fps. I guess that would at least fit to the problems I have. I've put both to 60 now and will try it later or tomorrow. I'll let you know if it helps ðŸ«
Well, that's another option - but I hope a little bit it's me, because then I have the chance to do something about it... otherwise it would be just wait and hope for a solution to come. But what you're describing sounds a bit different I think. In general I don't have any performance problems, every texture and object loads just fine, after a loading screen I'm often the first one on the map and also during the first 30min ingame, there's no issue at all. Even when the screen stutters, the animations around me just continue, like nothing happened.... well, just me happened 😅
