I always had semi low fps. It usually is in the 20's-30's but sometimes it goes into the teens.
The weird thing is that I can handle the game fine on high and medium settings (in fact that is what the auto detect goes to)
Lowering the graphics didn't seem to help or affect the fps though....
(I don't have a Duo or Quad Core-I have Win XP, Intel Pentium 4 processor, ATI Radeon X300 series graphics card, and 1 GB of ram)
Low FPS? Why?

lol, i have this sort of problem. i havent got a clue about my graphics card, its built-in and i know that if i wanted to put in a new one i would need to add something else to help with the power demmands. my fps is usually no higher than 13~ but whenever i got to bring the graphics down the fps goes down, making it run even slower. im not sure what the problem is but is there anything i can do to increase the fps by jst a few?

Seifus, is it laggy graphically? Or could it possibly be a network issue?
Are any other programs running in the background?
@ It's a Me: as a side point, be careful not to hijack threads. If you have the same problem, wait and see if it gets answered or if any other the suggested solutions fix your problem. A post comfirming that you have the same problem is not warranted. Especially if you have a different set of circumstances that are affect your system. A "wait and see, then post" attitude helps out everyone. Thanks.

No I don't have any programs running in the background that I know of (only essential ones like anti virus etc)
Or do you mean is anything else open? Nothing is open in the task bar but Guild Wars

Do you have good AV/Firewall products, or do you have Norton?

Does it happen in certain situations? I.e. when you enter a larger, crowded town? Does the FPS count drop when you experience a large number or enemies on screen simultaneously, lots of explosion type effects? If so its perfectly normal.

You say your fps drops, but is it randomly or in certain areas/campaigns? Some parts of Eye of the North and Nightfall are more taxing on a video card than prophecies for example. Same goes for towns full of people and areas packed with enemies.

Anyhow I guess this really isn't a problem since it is not laggy just odd how the FPS is kinda low....

Might want to try Comodo Firewall Plus, its very highly rated. Microsoft Firewall is rated pretty bad.
