I’ve done a bit of research and it seems this has been an on-going issue. I hadn’t experienced it until just yesterday when my FPS dropped to 5. According to the specs of my computer I can barely handle the game as is, but prior to this it ran very smoothly. Although the highest FPS I would regularly get was 35 – 40 it didn’t seem or feel slow at all. It would drop in big zergs or in WvW but I’m aware that that is an issue everyone shares so it was something I could tolerate. Now, unfortunately, it will drop to 4 or 5 FPS no matter where I am/what I’m doing/what my settings are at. I had them set fairly low to begin with to compensate for my computer not being built for gaming and that seemed to allow me to play. Therefore I’m finding it unlikely that it has anything to do with the computer itself although I’m not ruling out the possibility.
If anyone has any suggestions/has fixed this themselves in the past I would really appreciate some info. The only thing that seems to solve this is restarting my computer. And it only solves the matter for no more than 30minutes before the FPS suddenly hits a steep decline again. I’ve also checked my task manager to monitor which programs are running and whether or not there are any taking up large quantities of RAM but again, it doesn’t seem to be any trouble with the computer, just the game \ :
Would it be a good idea to attempt uninstalling and reinstalling the game maybe?
