there are also Nvidia 305.68s, here is a modded version with an inf made to support all models. You could also download the non modded version on the same site but then you have to edit the inf yourself. I don't play gw2 but these drivers are the best yet I've tried on Win 8.

Yup, those are the drivers I'm using. I also tried the 305.67 developer drivers for the hell of it but with no luck.

Def. the drivers. I have the same setup as you, with the only difference is in the GPu (and probably the motherboard and ram makers, but that's small details). Mine from ATI (6990) on 12.8 drivers and game runs constantly at above 60 fps with pretty much everything at max except shadows and aa.

I can even record with Fraps and it stays above 30 FPS, even when there's a lot of people around on screen:

Nvidia will probably release suitable drivers soon, I bet.

Well, at least you got the game for free. :rofl:

What was I thinking :D

I may go ahead and give those a try. Thanks for the link!

Damn, this sucks. I haven't had an issue with drivers affecting performance so significantly in years.

I guess I'll just have to wait this one out and hope Nvidia releases new drivers some time this century. :p

Anyone know how you can "log in as ..." like you could during the beta's? You used to be able to hit Log Out while in-game, and be taken to the game client logon screen (instead of the patcher/launcher logon screen), but now hitting log out from in-game just seems to close the game down.

Found sort of a way to do it....but I'm not sure if it works quite the same......at the character select screen you can hit Y to open the friend interface and change your status, but I believe it still flags you as logging in (since you had to log in at the launcher to get that far), but if you change it from the character select screen it should keep your status the same as you log in.

Whats everyone playing as? Im quite enjoying the elementalist, few levels there where I felt a bit fragile but maybe ive just gotten better at swapping between the aspects, fire, water (heals) etc.

Really enjoying the game so far except pvp feels like it lacks progression, I understand the arguments for just enjoying the game itself and so people at lvl 1 can just jump in but yeah I just feel its missing something there. PVE wise, at the end of the day its still some of the old stuff but the dynamic events certainly keep it interesting and the environment and variety of creatures thus far has been wonderful and a welcome relief!!

Get ready to be amazed and put in awe:

Those two swords can be combined again for even more badassnes. He said it took 200 hours to get them! I will have them. I must.

I know it takes around 160 skill points to get the mystic coins for starters but I wonder what else will be involved in crafting them.

Since no real FDS and IDS exist in GW2 I guess these will be a must for me.

I wish they'd get the trading post back up. I want to sell stuff before my bags fill up.

I already gave up on it. Salvaging all my good blues now and only keeping the greens for the trading.

But after a few hours in WvW, the greens just take too much space. Had to salvage some greens now too :(

I've been salvaging literally everything everything that I'm not using. At level 23 just from heart and events I'm absolutely not hurting for money. Besides that salvaging goes towards the monthly achievment and it's helping me reduce the amount of time I'll have to spend collecting crafting materials.

Yeah, I'd be busting my ass for those too. Though, the one I heard the developers talking about... this metallic hammer that makes you into a T1000 and leaves metal footprints behind when you walk with it, and seems to have some cool effects... THAT is what I want. I love hammers!

Did you get a black dye? What color is your armor there?

It's just ebony. I used clay on top with ebony to give it that sort of dulled gold look too. Screenshot not modified in any way.

So to late to edit but I got lucky and they must have increased cap or something. Anyways I wonder if they will take away my miniature rylock since I canceled my CE when I thought I wasn't getting the game but am now getting the normal edition lol. I didn't think there was any difference in the pre-order codes.

Just wanting to make sure before I make a character. If I pick a server is that where all of my characters will be based from when it comes to WvWvW and I can't set up new characters on a different server? The one my friends are on is full right now.

You pick a home server and what will decide your wvwvw and that's about it. With guesting you can play on pretty much any server though as long as you have friends there.

So my charr warrior is level 25 with 80% crit. :woot: :rofl:

Its a rare occasion for him to hit with normal damage instead of crit now.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft Flight Simulator's City Update 15 enhances Midwest cities

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft Flight Simulator's City Update 15 enhances Midwest cities by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The third major city update of the year has landed for the original Microsoft Flight Simulator and the 2024 release. The latest drop is upgrading the visuals and regional accuracy of three metropolitan regions in the American states of Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The 15th city update is adding eight new areas of interest that have been enhanced with high-fidelity TIN (triangulated irregular network) surface texturing in the mentioned regions. The free update highlights Chicago, Elgin, Cicero, and Arlington Heights in Illinois, as well as Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington, Duluth, Brooklyn Park, Woodbury, Lakeville, Plymouth, and Blaine in Minnesota. In Wisconsin, the development has also upgraded the lands and buildings of Milwaukee, Madison, and Racine. The update lands just as one of the world's largest enthusiast flight simulation conventions, FlightSimExpo, kicks off in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 14. The Flight Sim development team's 40-minute keynote at the event can be watched here. At the same time, Microsoft is bringing the 6-seat, single-engine, multi-use light civil airplane Piper M600 into the game as a part of its Expert Series 2 program. This premium plane can be purchased from the in-game marketplace for $24.99. City Update 15: The United States Midwest is now available in Microsoft Flight Simulator, as well as the newer Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, as an optional download. It can be accessed across Steam and the Microsoft Store for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, as well as Xbox and PC Game Pass subscriptions. Xbox One, mobile, and PC players can also jump into the new content using Xbox Cloud Gaming if they have a Game Pass Ultimate membership. The game must be updated to the latest version to download this free update from the in-game marketplace.
    • Five things you might have missed during Apple's WWDC 2026

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Five things you might have missed during Apple's WWDC 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Image: Apple Apple's annual developer event, WWDC 2026, happened from June 8 through June 12. We have already covered several new features and updates that the iPhone maker unveiled during the official keynote. Apple took Google's help and finally announced the upgraded Siri AI personal assistant, which now comes with an app. Moreover, a truckload of Apple Intelligence features took the center stage. That said, this year's WWDC is a bit different, and you might have noticed or missed the following stuff: Apple's ongoing unification of platforms Image: Apple One thing Apple is widely known for is its seamless hardware-software ecosystem. The company added a new chapter in 2020, when it began the Apple Silicon transition and launched macOS 11 Big Sur with native ARM support. Some major changes happened last year as well, when Apple renamed all of its operating systems to version 26 and introduced the Liquid Glass design language. Until WWDC 2025, Apple keynotes had dedicated segments for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and other operating systems, in which the company discussed each in detail. The WWDC 2026 keynote was different, and Apple allotted most of the screen time to Apple Intelligence and Siri. It didn't even publish separate press releases on its website for different operating systems. While it might seem surprising at first, it shows how Apple plans to move forward with its software ecosystem. Be it the Liquid Glass changes, child safety updates, or other features, they are mostly rolling out across multiple platforms. In other words, Apple is slowly blurring the line between its operating systems and achieving feature parity wherever possible. It's easy to rule out that someone in Apple's marketing team forgot to press the publish button. Everything is a calculated move when it comes to a company like Apple. Putting Apple Intelligence left, right, and center hints that the OS itself is no longer the product anymore. It's Siri, not Pepsi Time and again, various Apple products have been compared to unrelated things and turned into meme material. You might have heard about the "cheese grater" Mac Pro or the "trash can" Mac Pro, to name a few. It's Siri's turn this time. The upgraded AI assistant got a fresh logo, and people have started comparing it with Pepsi. There are other contenders, such as the Sony Ericsson logo and the Yin and Yang symbol. Shot on iPhone. Edited on Mac Image: Apple Apple has been putting the iPhone's camera muscles to the test on various occasions. Even NASA astronauts took it to Space earlier this year and captured some out-of-this-world photos. Recently, Apple TV streamed the first major live sporting event shot entirely on iPhone 17 Pro: an MLS match featuring the LA Galaxy vs. the Houston Dynamo FC. The 'Pro' iPhone has also been used to shoot Apple events in recent years. It's "Scary Fast" Mac event in 2023 was among the earliest attempts, and the tradition trickled down to the WWDC 2026 keynote, which ended with the tag line "Shot on iPhone. Edited on Mac." It's unsurprising to see Apple flexing the camera capabilities of its Pro models, especially when it has been baking professional-grade features, including ProRes RAW and Genlock. Hints for the foldable Apple has been sitting on the foldable iPhone for so long. There is still confusion over when the company will make it official. A recent report said that the iPhone Fold might get delayed as Apple is struggling to perfect its hinge mechanism. But Apple has been dropping hints here and there. A developer dug into the iOS 27 beta code and found internal references about device folding states. As verified by Macworld, the code includes references to "foldState" and "angleDegrees" internal status values, which are apparently designed to tell apps if a device is folded and at what angle. As of now, no other Apple device uses these states. The publication also found internal code suggesting Apple has been testing a device with both Touch ID and Dynamic Island, a combo that doesn't exist today. Last event as Apple CEO Image: Apple Tim Cook's bond with Apple is now almost three decades old, having started in 1998 as the SVP of Worldwide Operations. Back in August 2011, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple CEO months before his passing, and Cook took charge. Now, the baton has been passed to the hardware chief, John Ternus, who will take over the role on September 1. WWDC 2026 is the last major Apple Event for Tim Cook as CEO. We have seen so much during Cook's tenure over the years, much of which defines Apple as we know it today. From new hardware product lines like Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple Silicon, to boosting Apple's services business with Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Pay, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness+, Apple Care One, and more. That said, the first developer betas for Apple's latest operating systems are now available. You can check if your device is supported on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, watchOS 27, and other platforms. What's your favorite feature that Apple announced this year at WWDC 2026? Tell us in the comments.
