I have been experiencing a problem when I play Guild Wars 2. About every 3-5 seconds in combat, I have been experiencing a 1/2 second to a second delay. I am not sure what could be causing this problem. Happens everywhere even low populated maps.

I have updated my graphic card’s drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled guild wars but nothing seems to fix the delay I am experiencing. I have check my internet connection and I have a pretty low ping. I also tried using the 64 bit client as well. I thought my firewall could be the culprit but I allowed the guild wars 2 program though.

I play the game on high graphics settings so I tried lowering the settings but I still experience this Skill/Ability delay. I also play Planetside 2 and Heros of the storm and I do not experience this problem.

Has anyone else experienced this/what did you do to fix it?
My computer specs: Windows 10 i7-6700, 16GB RAM, GTX 970

If are using a router, disable the Windows firewall and see how it runs, also reboot your modem and router if you have not yet.

Have you done a long ping test to the GW2 servers? GW2 is not a very demanding game by today's standards, it should run just fine barring a driver/game glitch or an issue with your internet connection.
