I’m thinking out loud here but I see no reason why not to post this. I’ve noticed the view distance in Guild Wars 2 is insanely high and I believe I can literally see from one zone to another. I, having a mid-specced computer, would like to lower the distance that the game renders as I find it irrelevant and consider it eye-candy. Currently, I’m running the game on possibly the lowest settings on 20-30fps, with rare drops to 15. I believe lowering the distance would fairly increase the games’ performance. I’m just wondering will there ever be the option to do so.

Hi theyaN – I’d like to know what connection method you are using. It appears you may be tethering to your phone for a wireless connection. If this is the case I would recommend attempting to install by connecting directly to your modem via Ethernet cable if you are able to.

Additionally I noticed you have Avast running and quite a few startup applications as well that could also be conflicting with the installation.
