Ghoster.9372 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 So I've been playing for a while, and suddenly today I have huge lag spikes (slideshow level) whenever I turn (move the mouse). If I stay facing a single direction, im mostly fine, but while playing a mirage mesmer, you sorta gotta be mobile.I'm currently in England, playing on Borlis Pass (thinking of moving to a euro server, but that can't be the cause of this issue because i've been okay so far and been doing this for months now). I usually run about 60-80 fps in the zone im in (Harathi), but suddenly turning makes me drop down to 10-20 fps. I tried running the repair on it, but it keeps crashing, so looking for alternative approaches to fixing it. Was there an update recently that's causing this? Or something else?

Blocki.4931 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It probably won't help anybody here, but I found another cause of lag recently and that is the Windows 10 Feature of having multiple desktops. Windows + Tab, check the top left corner if you only have 1 window showing up there. I must have accidentally created another one at some point and it caused my severe FPS issues until a couple weeks ago where I discovered it.

Emprer.7256 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Been getting lag spikes lately. Located in Hong Kong. Stable internet and doesn’t happen on other things that use internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixit.7189 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 All I know is that whenever they switched servers and their locations my ping has gone up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glumz.1874 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I do not understand what happened to gw2? My computer became much stronger (i7-7700, 1050ti, ssd, 8gb), but lags appeared. FPS drops to 7-9 frames per second, and then increases again. I reinstalled the driver, set the settings to a minimum, but the FPS drops from 60 to 7, and then grows again. What happened to the optimization? Help!The game began to hang with alt + tab, only a full restart helpsMy region - Russia, bursts start immediately after client installation (I returned to the game after 3 years break) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menzo.2185 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Is it just me or more people are having high ping issues this week and DC'ing from WvW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revotech.5869 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I am having issues with really high ping/bad lag. It does seem to occur in any mode but I am particularly noticing it in the PvE maps and when attempting the Beetle Races. It seems to be spiking on these maps (up to 3-4k) but overall doesn't seem like my "normal" ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonftw.4705 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'm having these same issues. It's at random intervals and sometimes fixes itself and then comes back again. I never had this before and only seems to be happening in GW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmortus.7852 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Same for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ketsu.4569 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Ping is over 200 since last update when normally around 85. Ran latency tests to various servers and confirmed it is 100% not the fault of my internet connection. One of the node hops in Anets network is likely faulting.

Claster of characters.5920 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Same here, ping sometimes goes over 4000, heard people complaning about ping in the map chat, and now i ran into it by myself =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyn.7908 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Same thing for me, logged in today and went to dragon's stand for the daily, but get over 3000 ping, even if I switch to another map afterwards.Edit: at some point I also got disconnected from the server randomly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coro.3176 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Been getting 30-40ms higher ping in WvW. It's really noticeable.I'm normally at ~95-100. Currently averaging 135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlion.3065 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I am not currently playing GW2 a lot, but have massive issues at the moment when connecting to NA servers from EU to play MS2. So I checked my GW2 accounts (EU and NA) and I'm seeing pretty much the same picture. Servers for both games are running on AmazonAWS and it seems that connections from EU to servers in NA suffer from major latency issues at the moment. Around +200ms higher ping than usual plus lag spikes of more than 3000 ms every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folk.8190 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 i cant play, in wvwvw ping over 400. in fractals around 250-300 openworld 100-400. I'm normally at 60-75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOtto.2650 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Since latest season episode came out this game is unplayable! Freezes, black screen, ping, now even in Raids, every 2-3 minutes! Maybe Gw2 needs better PC, but 6 months ago I played pretty good, had no problems, even in WvW.Anet fucked up something very very badly! I just watch the Raid lfg and 60% fewer ppl on it, that means lots of people can't play this game anymore, or won't play it it's so fucked up atm!

Monstrosity.9805 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I've been playing almost every day for the past 2 months. From Australia so ping is usually at 280ms on NA servers. Its been at 350ms for about the past 2 weeks. In WvW it's become impossible to play when big fights are happening because the ping will go to 3-5k just getting close to the fight. In the last two or three days, however, I can't even play anymore. I can log into the game, select character and load any map. Once in it kills the game within 10 seconds. (TC Server, not sure if it matters)Getting the WvW itch real bad...I'm having withdrawals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folk.8190 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 and again. today ping is "awesome" 400-800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tashigi.3159 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It's been a rollercoaster for me as well. Granted, my connection is pretty darn good compared to most and I am relatively close to the servers. My normal ping for over 4+ years of playing this game is between 40-60. Over this last week, it's beeen anywhere from 80-170, with sudden spikes to 400-500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control.7506 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yeah, I also have a good connection and since update that the game is pratically unplayable for me. It's really THAT bad, other than the daily logins chests I would have no reason to log in at all since I can't do anything anywhere :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadavi.4793 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 same here, im from south asia so my ping is already pretty high but recently its just unplayable, cant even do my dailies properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurkWan.8526 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Reporting from the Middle East. I play on NA servers and since the last patch, latency has been crazy.Certain sPvP games are totally unplayable while certain maps in PvE are also terribly laggy. The worst part is- it is not consistent. I cannot predict which game will go good or which one will be an absolute mess.What is the solution?

Tashigi.3159 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I changed my client settings a bit and reset it almost back to default, but the only change that seems to have affected this on that regards is removing admin rights from the client (I had added it years ago). This somehow helped lower the ping from 100-150 to 70-80. But it was still spiking randomly.A friend suggested making the client high priority under task manager, so I did and surprisingly, this stopped the spikes.I'll report later if this holds.

MurkWan.8526 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Okay, this is getting out of hand.I cannot even introduce this game to my friends without embarrassment given how much it lagging a lot lately.The least ArenaNet can do is acknowledge the matter and address it whether it's a client side or server side issue.
