FPS Issue

[Kazooie]

I love GW2 and recently reinstalled and the game ran fine. I had some bad input lag online but that's not the issue, I can still play single player. That was until around last Saturday. The game now runs at a low, LOW FPS. I don't have a FPS checker but its definitely at like 7-10 FPS. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and nothing has changed. It used to work before. Any help?

Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1260P 2.10 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.6 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I should note, I HAVE played the game in the past on this exact same computer. The issue is only VERY recently, 2025. I played the game about a year ago and was perfectly fine, was able to even mod.

if your running the game without a dedicated GPU on integrated graphics since you never mentioned your graphics card id assume that is the issue . If you just came back to the game the Anticheat update made the game run worse so id just recommend lowering your settings and if you already have done that lower the resolution to 720p. This is with me assuming that you have not played the game since the anticheat update if thats not the case
then let me know and i will think of something else.

Oh I thought my IDs were sensitive, mb. Here they are:


Device ID 7D4C27D1-8295-4423-B288-2771735819B8
Product ID 00342-22049-22936-AAOEM

Also, I've only played GW2 AFTER the anticheat update. It's why I mentioned the modding part, but my game has been vanilla for awhile now, since modding got too messy.

Ye those changes should be fine then also go in task manager to show ur specs btw that ID stuff means nothing

Currently running the game, it says the game takes up about 41.6% of my memory. My game also ok, pretty pixel-ly.
This is copied from Task Manager about my GPU:

GPU 0

Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics

Driver version: 30.0.101.2079
Driver date: 5/26/2022
DirectX version: 12 (FL 12.1)
Physical location: PCI bus 0, device 2, function 0

Utilization 100%
Dedicated GPU memory
Shared GPU memory 2.4/7.8 GB
GPU Memory 2.4/7.8 GB

Idk if this is helping, but this is what I got.

Issues fixed. Turns out I had to update my driver, which is weird since a completely different game prompted me to. But yeah my game works now

How did you update your driver?

For some reason, when I played the Splitgate 2 demo, it prompted me to update it. I have no idea why, but it did.
