    Hey ANet, are you sure creating new icon for the icebrood saga portal tome is so resource intensive that it cannot be done with the release?

    d912pxy - dx12 for gw2, now v2.0

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 07:20 AM PST

    Hello gw2 community! I'm happy to announce that 913xy v2.0 is now released!

    Oh wait its, d912pxy, not d19vky or whatever. :D

    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

    -Code cleanup & optimizations: now is even faster!

    (I wish to see a good benchmark on youtube(or somewhere) for newest versions with custom config)

    -Features improvement: overlay is not so intrusive now, PSO cache can be shared too

    -Memory management improvements: now saves some RAM if game is greedy on objects

    -Small bugfixes

    ​

    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?

    Latest ReShade should work fine, if it still not working:

    disable automatic shader reload and depth buffer detection, then it should start to work,

    so you can at least troubleshoot it on your own and

    at max cooperate with me or reshade author to fix this.

    Also there is special modified reshade installer https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545164738288418816/673181174998368287/ReShade-MOD_4.5.3-X_Setup.exe shared by Serfrost, that should work without a fuss.

    ​

    -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.

    ​

    -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: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/dkl02z/d912pxy_dx12_for_gw2_now_v19/

    Good FPS everyone!

    An update to the Mystic Forge would be very welcome right now

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 06:50 AM PST

    With the new collection needing a tons of lodestones, people have begun the finger-straining journey of forging cores into lodestones. Remember that specific post 3+ years ago?

    Now would be a good time to get an update on that and then do something about a feature like the Mystic Forge that has had no meaningful QoL update for 7.5 years.

    Explorer Jeppa isn't even spawning anymore

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 02:52 AM PST

    So i thought of doing my FB collection. Turns out jeppa doesn't spawn anymore. Tried everything, the event just gets stuck without her spawning anywhere. I checked all possible locations where she teleports. Asked map chat, someone has been waiting for it for 2 days, submitted ticket without any response.

    I give up. Was a very frustrating day.

    Question about gw2 dx12 addon.

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 06:29 AM PST

    I have only 8 gb of ram and this mod is currently using too much of my system (up to 5gb in wvw fights). What are the best custom configs which can lower this value?
