Hello everyone.

Occasionally when I'll be playing Guild Wars (usually after a loadscreen or if I tab out then back in), my FPS will drop to like 2fps..So I minimize and open the task manager to see that Guild Wars is on Lowest Priority, I set it to normal, but it keeps going back to lowest.

If anyone knows whats causing this or how to fix it, I would be extremely happy to find out.

Thanks in advance.

Guild Wars sets itself to Low priority automatically when your window is not focused on Guild Wars to prevent slowdowns and loss of other program usage.

When you switch back, it will go back to 'Normal', I don't think you ever will be able to catch it on 'Normal', as when you Ctrl+Alt+Delete, your not focused on the Guild Wars window.

But trust me, it is on 'Normal', when you play. Just give it a moment when you tab back in.
