    d912pxy - dx12 for gw2, now v2.1

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 03:10 AM PST

    About

    [you can skip about is you seen it already]

    d912pxy is a tool/app/addon/lib I made to allow Guild Wars 2 use DirectX12.

    This tool takes DirectX9 API calls and translates them into DirectX12 API calls.

    There already many things of that kind, like wined3d, vk9, vkd3d, dxvk, d9vk, etc.

    Key difference: d912pxy is developed specially for performance, not API compatibility or portability.

    Before I post some links you should read this statements:

    1. As this tool do not make any modification to game files on disk or runtime, don't give you any advantage or botting solutions. It's likely to be 3-rd party tools TOS compliant.
    2. You use it on your own risk.
    3. Read README.md save my and your time.
    4. Expect some minor bugs.

    In this update

    * Minor crash & compatibility fixes

    * Fixes for GW2 renderer changes

    * Config editor in extras overlay

    You can read more details on release page

    Installing

    Here is install instructions

    But still i recommend reading whole README file of project here => https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy

    Also you can use this tool https://github.com/fmmmlee/GW2-Addon-Manager

    Q&A

    - What to expect from this?

    1. Much more stable FPS in general (up to 250% minimal fps boost)
    2. Higer FPS if you have free CPU and GPU power (up to 30%)
    3. Lower FPS if you have no extra CPU power / GPU power
    4. Much higher RAM and VRAM usage
    5. Using eGPU you can expect big improvements due to GPU-CPU bandwith optimization
    6. Some visual bugs and most notable character portraits glitching
    7. Missing and slow loading things after first/clean install as shader cache is building up.

    -Will it work for me?

    I don't know. Try it out.

    - How it will work with ArcDPS/gw2hook/ReShade/GW2Radial/Taco?

    It should work fine with ArcDPS/GW2Radial/ReShade/Taco by now, but not gw2hook.

    https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/wiki/Using-with-other-addons-and-overlays

    -I'm crashing with newest ReShade, any ideas?

    Use ReShade 4.3 or custom build by SerFrost https://github.com/Serfrost/ReShade-GW2

    -I'm crashing with "D3D12 device removal due to 8007000E" since v1.6 and i use AMD GPU. Any help?

    This thing looks like a driver bug, so i added a quick workaround:

    add dheap_mode=1 under [compat] section in config, that should cover your problem.

    -My GPU is sitting on idle clocks. Any ideas?

    You can set nv_disable_throttle to 1 in config if you have NVidia GPU.

    But beware that this option is not so safe, as this will disable power throttle, and if your game crashes, this thing will be left enabled. Restart game and exit cleanly to fix this or use other OC/tweaking tools to clear this out.

    -Can't start with this version, but 1.9 worked. What to do?

    Make sure you have latest msvc redist installed

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

    -Crashing/not working/need to troubleshoot smth

    You have many options

    1. https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy#troubleshooting
    2. Re-read installing page https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/wiki/Installing
    3. Ask on secret(or not so secret?) discord that is on https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy page ;)

    -Why ANet is still not hired you? (or other why ANet)

    That is not coming as i live cross globe and there is no open positions.

    Please do not discuss their reasons/actions any way, as this will not end up constructively.

    ​

    You can read old post Q&A too: v2.0 reddit post

    Good FPS everyone!

    Consumables toolbelt - The forgotten feature request!

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 12:42 AM PST

    Hi all so I have not seen this posted in ages and I just feel the need to remind the community this should be a thing!

    ​

    Can we please get a consumables / novelty / whatever toolbelt added to our skill bars or somewhere on our screen without needing to navigate to Hero Panel or inventory?

    Imagine being able to assign specific things to a few slots that then can be used by a simple shortcut or double click?

    Stuff like buffs, food, utilities, instruments, candy corn gobbler and more could all be useful in such a slot and make life so much easier!

    ​

    Does the community still want this?

    A Reminder of Our Community

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 05:18 PM PST

    A Reminder of Our Community

    TLDR; We gotta band together as a community, we're the ones keeping the game as strong as it is, let's not beat each other down when we see an opportunity to, instead offer a hand, be receptive to feedback. We are a great community already, but sometimes, some individuals fall short. This is just a reminder of how we can be a betterment to each other and ourselves.

    ODrA Crew (Images are explained at the bottom)

    Ignore that disgusting Pepegasus

    Lets preface this with one fact: In every game, we've got our hardcore elitists, and then the filthy casuals. Everybody starts off as a filthy casual. Here's many people started off;

    You get the game, with barely any idea of what is to come, you make your first account and log in to create a character who will either be a throwaway, or will be your most-loved main forever standing. You've just completed the tutorial (Honestly the tutorial needs an upgrade but that's a whole other story) and have just loaded into the open world. Now not only half an hour into the game-play, you're starting to get lost. There is no direction, yet also endless directions you could take your character in, and not too far in, a player with some a super high number on their head and super shiny armor and weapon leaps in and drags you into their party.

    And from there on, you've just become part of the GW2 Community. Maybe you'll join a guild, or perhaps just constantly be around helping out others. But one day, you're going to be (If you're not already\*****)* that player with the shiny armor, weapons and max mastery. This is a reminder of who we started out as, we once had no idea what this game could truly offer, and with that, we also once we total noobs in this game. If you're one of those elitists out there, take a step back from the game.

    • Stop grinding instantly kicking people out of Fractals if they don't have an Omnipot
    • Stop shit talking other PvPers in game
    • Stop instantly blocking people when they do something which triggers you (Speaking from personal experience, I used to be such an asshole until I quit 2 years ago, I forgot what it meant to play the game)

    This brings us to what we should be doing. It's time we stopped being assholes from one spectrum of players, to another, and instead, learn to play together, teach each other and help each other out. There are people out there saying this game is dead, it's not dead if we keep it alive. Let's not beat each other into the dirt, let's keep this game running strong. There's constantly new players praising our community for who we are, let's not ruin that in-game when we lose our calm. We've gotta pull back on our toxicity, improve on our management of frustration and tilt per se. We all have our moments, that's perfectly fine, just remember to goes a long way to lend people a hand instead of just screaming at them and calling them names.

    A few months ago, I returned to the game with a new mindset, and began re-building the Australian guild I used to be in. As of last Saturday, our Guild pulled off an internal giveaway, but what really shined was how we came together. We had our list of Raiders, T4 Fractallers. PvP/WvW Mains and a set of newer players join us. We spent almost 2 Hours doing Guild Missions and having good banter, it's really what this game is about. This little event just prompted me to make this post as I remember how badly I had acted in the past.

    So as a closer, we are an amazing community, but we can make this community even amazingly amazinger (Let's pretend thats a word). As our community grows stronger together, the game will not die, it can't die until we let it die. For those who have read down to here, Thanks for spending time on this massive wall of text <3

    The images posted are of our just a tiny portion of our guild joining for the Giveaway.

    NB: If you do wanna join us for future endeavours, just let me know privately, you can find me in game through Sir Lambchops.4057

    Will Exalted Assistance ever be "repaired"?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 11:16 PM PST

    Exalted Bastion from Exalted Assistance is particularly useful, as bastion can insta rez downed players, and can break bar very well (considering how insane is Defiance Bars of champs from those AB meta...)

    ONLY IF BASTION ACTUALLY WORKS.

    The issue is that some SpaGeTi codes preventing summoned Bastions from getting aggroed. Bastion for now does nothing unless there is multiple players getting downed near bastion's station. (Only way to cause aggro is to let bastion to rez people.)

    I hope bastion codes ever get attention so people who are in torment of those collections that requires AB meta champs can have some relief...

    (Also... why we do not have quick access button for consumable items... debri items such as planks work very well but opening inventory to use it???)

    Arah p3 and CoF p1 by Diggin Even Deeper [dP]

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 03:27 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    we from Diggin Even Deeper wanted to share the results of two projects we were working on in an environment most of our group had spent a lot of time in the early years of this game: dungeons. Despite the power creep, they are still one of the most enjoyable content to date through the massive amount of theorycraft you can put into them.

    Starting with The Ruined City of Arah p3 - 5:19

    PoVs:
    Mesmer - Fines
    Thief - Xarax
    Ranger - NCDope
    Guard - Ede
    Ele - Lips

    Background:
    The previous record by Snow Crows [SC] in 5:52 stood for over 3 years and is dated from pre Path of Fire. The last expansion brought several class specializations, that provide access to crucial boons and buffs almost without downsides.

    The game plan:
    Although Bosses in Arah have significantly more life than in other dungeons, it still favors a burst heavy composition. Weaver, Soulbeast, and Dragonhunter are very prominent when it comes to that. Our team was rounded out by the Giganticus Lupicus Kryptonite Mesmer and skip enabler Thief.
    Especially having two portals on two different classes available to juggle cooldowns with was a major improvement and quality of life upgrade. Particularly the one to Lupi's gate functioned as carrying wheels for the slower classes while they can prepare the upcoming fight without haste and wasting utility slot cooldowns. In previous iterations of the run without that portal almost always somebody got smacked by the gorillas, so we decided to turn the tables.
    Notably, while skipping the Mirage used the Superior Rune of the Adventurer and Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew to utilize the Ambush sword attack leap to its fullest.

    Thoughts:
    We think although some mistakes were made during the run, the overall time is really good, as most Bosses were killed efficiently, skips went clean and oftentimes we had the RNG on our side. We would argue, that the better time is more a result of our theorycraft than the overall power creep that type of content is admittedly not designed around, so we are quite happy with this run and are proud to share.

    p.s: thank you to Lips for clarifying how to break Crusher's Breakbar and to point out how important it is, simply because it looks good in the video!

    Coming to Citadel of Flames p1 - 4:22

    PoVs:
    Thief - Xarax
    Ele - NCDope
    Guard - Fines
    Guard - Ede
    Unfortunately, our Ranger Aljoscha wasn't able to record.

    Background:
    The previous record was set by We Got Nice Moves [Yoga] in 4:42 from before Heart of Thorns(!). Clearly, there were some time improvements without much stretching achievable and the [Yoga] Mesmer joined us recently, so we gave it a try.

    The game plan:
    We picked an extremely burst heavy composition plus a fast skipping class and ended up with 1 Thief, 1 Ranger, 1 Ele, and 2 broken blue classes Guards.
    The general strategy wasn't changed that much since [Yoga]'s moves were quite polished.
    The Ele was able to give Ferrah Super Speed but most of the time was made up by the Thief skip after the Acolytes. Whether it is restricted or not, is not our's to decide, but it is a well-known skip. For easier combat preparation we utilized the recently added thief's Shadow Portal as well.

    Thoughts:
    The time is by far not the fasted possible, there are several RNG parts we did not want to grind. But we think we have shown significant improvements over existing runs through the path.

    If you have any questions regarding these runs, feel free to ask.

    When will starborn outfit come back? I just got to the game and i love it!

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 09:32 AM PST

    Will anet ever fix any of the bugs in raids?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:14 PM PST

    There's a lot of bugs in a lot of the wings that I'm shocked are still in the game. Even if a wing8 isn't in the near future, could the devs look into some of these? These are the bugs that I know of but I'm sure there are more:

    The first bug isn't specific to a wing, but at the start of every encounter, if someone is using pack runes (or any runes that give boons to allies) the first iteration of boons they get can sometimes be wiped. This can be very bad for encounters like cairn where swiftness is important.

    wing1:
    - Gorseval has a mechanic where after a certain amount of time it'll wipe anyone who's standing on the platform. At the end of the fight, even though gorseval was killed it'll still wipe the group.
    - Although not necessarily a bug, sabetha's flame wall is considered a pulsating aoe. This means that if you're lucky you can walk through the flame wall without dying.

    wing2:
    - For slothasor, While you are a slubbling, if you use a consumable that causes you to switch your weapon set (ex: choir bell) you will transform back into your character but you'll stay as an enemy. (You can even attack your own teammates and your teammates can finish you)
    - For matthias, Sometimes the sacrifice will not gain bonus health while he is in stasis, causing him to get 1shot.

    wing3 (wing3 is prominently known across the raiding community to be the buggiest wing, despite it being released two years ago):
    - For escort, You can teleport glenna over the wall before actually starting the event. This will cause the event to not spawn any adds along the path (but will still spawn adds on the towers).
    - For escort, if you use signet of humility on a warg and let the moa aggro you, when the warg transforms back it will sit there for the rest of the event.
    - For KC, at 33%, sometimes KC won't come back down after he's jumped in the air.
    - For KC, sometimes the current mechanic won't disappear despite cc'ing KC and moving to orb phase.
    https://clips.twitch.tv/FreezingSleepyVanillaVoHiYo
    - KC sometimes skips the orb phase.
    - https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/69meeu/collection_of_kc_bugs/
    - For xera, at 40% and 20%, you will sometimes fall through the platform when you teleport, which causes you to die.
    - There is a visual glitch for the xera fight where every platform becomes invisible.
    - For xera, sometimes the leylines will launch you way in the air, causing you to pass the invisible ceiling and die.

    wing4:
    - Mursaat Overseer will sometimes not reset after a wipe (happens more often in CM) and will continue to pulsate damage whenever people enter the arena. The only way to fix the bug is for everyone to leave the instance and come back.
    - During the guldum phase, Samarog will sometimes move back onto the platform despite rigom still being alive.
    - This is an inconsistency more than a bug, but at Samarog's tantrum phase (10% phases) he will sometimes fully cast his skill instead of interrupting his skill at exactly each 10% before he goes into cc mode.
    - In Samarog, Sometimes the fixated player can get the friends (aka lock and key) mechanic.
    - Sometimes samarog's shockwave will launch you farther than it should, some cases launching you as far as deimos's platform.

    wing5:
    - if you grab a seal and then leave the instance, the seal will not return to it's stop and your squad needs to /gg to reset the seals.
    - The eater of souls will sometimes not spit out orbs after his health is depleted despite standing on a fully lit mark. (He will even do the animation of him spitting out orbs)

    wing6:
    - Conjured Amalgamate will sometimes do nothing after 75/50%, forcing the squad to /gg to restart the fight.
    - Conjured Amalgamate will sometimes slam it's left/right hand on the edge of the platform instead of in the center despite the entire squad standing in the middle.
    - Sometimes when kenut hits 25%, she will stay on the platform instead of teleporting, causing the group to wipe.
    - Normally, if a kiter is not present with qadim on the platform (usually because the kiter died), Qadim will start teleporting everywhere and marking every tile with fire, essentially causing the squad to wipe. During the Wyvern phase, Qadim will sometimes not recognize that someone is standing on the platform with him when he teleports.
    - You can stuck inside a tile during the Qadim fight. This usually happens when someone is teleported on an overlapping tile. Once you are stuck inside a tile you cannot get out, forcing the person to /gg.

    wing7:
    - Adina sometimes will stay under the platform
    - Qadim the peerless will sometimes not dash to a pylon at 40/30/20%.
    - For Qadim the peerless CM, even if you die you can be sent up to do the unique mechanic. You'll be able to use your special action key despite being dead.

    Issue with shadows

    Issue with shadows

    Hi there, I just want to ask if shadows set to ultra in Gw2 should look like this? And if yes, is there anything I can do, to make it look better? To be more precise, what I mean is that they look a little too blocky, pixelated.

    A new challenger approaches!

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 08:39 AM PST

    Ahoy dear community !

    I just bought the game and started playing a good old Charr warrior, and I must say that I love the mechanics. I feel like the devs tried to look around and analyse what could be seen as good in other mmos and get inspired with it.

    I just finished exploring my first zone and received my plains of ascalon reward. But here comes the question for you people!

    I have a 80th lvl token (given with the edition I bought), and heard about the fact that you can obtain a mount only at lvl 80. So, is it possible to upgrade a freshly created character to the lvl 80, farm and buy a flying mount, and use it with my lowest levels? (or a land mount)

    Thanks a lot people !

    An Apology

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 01:20 PM PST

    So to preface this I'm very competitive. I don't mind losing but I don't like feeling like I've been cheated out of a fair fight in PvP.

    But that's no excuse for how bad mouth I've been to other players that past few nights. So In the hopes that some of those players (and for my own conscience sake) see this, I'd like to sincerely apologize. If you got bitched at by Mcfluffer, I hate mesmersss, or noobbb player, I'm sorry.

    Really at the end of the day it's supposed to be a game and we have fun. But getting destroyed in PvP isn't fun. But it isn't an excuse to be harsh towards strangers who are simply playing like you are.

    If you have this same problem, please don't think it's acceptable. Never a reason to get petty over a video game.

    Edit: apparently because of my comment history I'm not allowed to be sorry. Again I apologize for not recognizing another area I need to work on. But I know my intention is right. So for those of you who continue to try and dismiss this post or ride off my apology. Well that's on you. Shameful conduct on your part.

    Coming back in after a few years. Where to 'start'?

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 07:01 AM PST

    I stopped playing some time around 2016, after Mordremoth, and maybe a little bit after the living story started again after that. I remember the living story missions starting to move into one of the icy/snowy regions but dont remember exactly what was going on. I focused mostly on WvW and fractals than world completion when I played anyway, but I think I want to get back into it, especially since Ive heard the new expansion has made things really good. So, where to go first (besides the obvious new story content). Ive heard that there are mounts, raids, new subclasses, etc...

    I have a level 80 of most classes, but most of my time was spent on my guardian, mesmer, and necro, but i doubt that will change anything.
