I had all graphic settings on Normal except Foliage and Antialiasing on Low. I also had FSR on Quality, though I'm not sure if that works or not.

Additional Information

It installs Ubisoft Connect which pops up saying it's starting the game but the game never shows. Maybe I need to wait longer. I tried twice.

Additional Information

If you pick the default setting when launching the game there's some graphical glitches which can make objects disappear and reappear constantly. When there's several enemies on the screen FPS drops super low and it lags.

If you pick DirectX 9 when launching the game, the graphical glitches are gone, but it still lags badly when there's multiple enemies on the screen.

Tip: If you'd like to install GW2 from Steam but play on your account created outside of steam, add -provider Portal to the game launch options (right-click game and then click properties).

The game felt heavy regardless of the high FPS. I played around with graphic settings and resolution but nothing made that feeling go away. Otherwise it seemed perfect.
