Saniyah.1984 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The last update made the game crashed if i used dx9 mode, I still used Dx9 mode because DX11 is like super blooomy and it is stuttry too, i made that post like 5 months ago. I think i made the right choice because 5 months later Dx11 still felt buggy today i even saw a screen tear which i hadn't yet but i saw it on youtube before. Could you fixed Dx11 before you tried to forced me to used it or made Dx9 work again please Thank you 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geniusman.1760 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 After the July 18, 2023 update, the "-usecoherent " no longer seems to work. This was the only way I was able to play the game with the switch to Chromium Embedded Framework. This was working just fine before the release. Has it been removed or is there an alternative? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramontique.9852 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) I've made multiple posts about the abysmal performance (50% loss in fps) on Intel Arc when using the Chromium framework. Anet never addressed this issue. To use -usecoherent was the only solution however now it no longer seems to do anything.

tmakinen.1048 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Can confirm, forced DX9 causes immediate crash on login. Removing the -dx9 switch allows login but the game is virtually unplayable (DX11 doesn't support hardware acceleration on Win7). 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunlightandroses.8490 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Dx-11 is still hurting my eyes. I heard a long time ago that they were going to implement some more graphics options to allow people to change certain things and they still haven't. The colour saturation is painful and white is too white. And we still don't have a proper full-screen option for some reason. I wish they'd fix this thing. I regret spending the money on an expac I might not be able to play now. Edited July 18, 2023 by sunlightandroses.8490 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 -dx9 also doesn't work for me anymore. Arenanet never addressed the graphical downgrades that came with dx11 either. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fueki.4753 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 dx11 still looks terrible and Arenanet simply decided to go ahead killing dx9 instead of making dx11 look decent first. People repeatedly told Arenanet that it's a bad idea and they simply didn't care. It's just sad. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramontique.9852 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Well it's time to ignore Guild Wars 2. I've reported the Chromium issue multiple times over the last months and it simply gets ignored. Two can play that game 😉 I really wish Anet went with Vulkan instead of this forever beta direct x 11 solution. edit: a sad day for a 45k ap gamer.

DebraKadabra.5278 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Can confirm that my dx9 shortcut functionality no longer works (crashed twice), AND that the color saturation issues have NOT been addressed. And before anyone points it out, NO I DO NOT HAVE POST PROCESSING ON. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosyfiep.9081 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I cant even log in, crashes when I hit Ready. Tried without the dx9 and I can log in, but I am now so nauseous from it that I can not play (or do much else). I hope they reimplement it so I can play again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira Shalaar.5620 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 yep, same here and loading in without the DX9 causes some seriously bizarre graphical glitches. Have a full screen game but the UI is stuck on the left half of the screen. Tried changing resolution to see if that would help and the game crashed and now can't get back in. I really wish this weren't such a common occurrence with updates. Also would have been really nice if these kinds of changes were mentioned in the patch notes instead of needing to be discovered by trial and crash. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosyfiep.9081 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I am sad that they have not addressed this, the game without -dx9 is sickening to look at (and makes me ill). I am in the same boat from the April patch,....again. I am considering getting a refund for the soto if they are unable to fix this since I will not continue to play a game that makes me ill. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they didn't bother with that, because dx9 had been officially discontinued for some time already. Or they didn't know about the band-aid fix using -dx9. If this was the case, it would be proof that they don't read the forums. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that their initial implementation of DX11 was flawed and they never got around to fixing it forcing a lot of us to use the aforementioned bandaids. Now that they have ripped the bandaid off we discover that yep they still need to fix their code that was seriously flawed in the first place. The question is really only whether they actually patch it or simply write off everybody who was forced to use the bandaid as being edge cases. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever fixed that, I would be genuinely and positively surprised. However, there's no track record that could lead me to believe or even hope that they'll ever do it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet probably wants less people to play the game because that could be the ONLY reason why they did this...smart move before new xpac right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cernoch.8524 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I would even be fine with it if I have old pc, I would accept the fact that I have to upgrade to be able to play with dx11 because they removed the option to play with dx9. But my pc is very new, from last year and the only reason why I was playing with dx9 was because they cant make dx11 right and working. How does this even make sense to them? What was the reason? Also their saying that exclusive fullscreen and windowed fullscreen is the same thing is so kitten stupid, there is many reason why you want to have both options in the game and the reason why majority if not all games have BOTH options. It is a reason why your game is unplayable for many players and the reason why they forced the game to run in dx9. If you dont have people to make your game work then maybe skip making stupid skins for once. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Microsoft. "With the release of Windows 10, we added Fullscreen Optimizations – which takes full screen exclusive games and runs them instead in a highly optimized borderless windowed format that takes up the entire screen. You get the visual experience and performance of running your game in FSE, but with the benefits of running in a windowed mode. These benefits include faster PC commands such as alt-tab, multiple monitor set ups and overlays. We have extensive performance data that indicates that almost all users who use Fullscreen Optimizations have equal performance to Full Screen Exclusive. However, if you do find that you are experiencing any issues that may be related to full screen optimizations, please head to the troubleshooting section where we will walk through how to optimize your system and provide feedback to our team.
