Guild Wars 2

Please fix the crashing that’s occurring when fighting Scarlet.
I’ve now done 4x 45 minute events.
I have completed twice, and crashed twice.

It’s pretty hard to get worldwide invasion responder/invasion canceler when you crash after 40 minutes and don’t get credit.

And for the record, I was in a group, I rejoined the instance and did not get credit towards the titles.

yer… just had that happen to me, spent 40+ minutes running about and finally got to scarlet and crashed and dumped to desktop. considering i only had a few hours to play tonight that is a real bummer.

Did you save the error info? I’m curious now how many of them look like this, considering I got a crash fighting Scarlet just now in Fields of Ruin (first time so far in multiple fights, including another in FoR).

I didn’t look that closely at the callstacks, or save them locally. But I definitely sent them off to ANet in the automatic crash reporter so that they have the necessary info to fix it.

I just finished doing an event in dredgehaunt cliff. I spend 40 minutes doing the event, and then Scarlet appeared.

I ported to the area where she was at. Players had her cornered inside one of the norn houses. I got inside, started shooting her, then crashed to desktop. Logged back in, no credit, no achievement, no loots. GG.

I’ve crashed about 4 times now and every time it’s when Scarlet is about 25% health. I’ve tried looking away (facing in opposite direction) during the battle to see if it was a render bug, but I’m still crashing. Please look into this. I’ve sent the crash reports when prompted.

Happened to me twice, missing out on it all, but also gotten through the event on maps without problems a bunch of times…i guess they’ve patched game up a tad wrong, too small margings, made it randomly unstable, or something….ofc i really haven’t got a clue….and there’s no way they’d admit it anyway, or bother fixing some random crashes even if they’ve caused them, since it is working mostly.

Clueless as i am i’ll try lowering graphic settings n stuff, would’ve thought fixes were made to improve game performances, not other way around, but if not i’ll try this at least – can’t whine too much – not paying to play so cannot expect perfection i guess.

Happened to me too… And I have had a few Close calls too…. Now I dont get involved in tye fight with her but stand at a distance – looking at the fight! If I go too Close – crash.

I have completed 1 clockwork event out of 8. I crash within the third wave / battle with scarlet every single time. I rarely crash while playing normally. It has only become a problem this week with the release of part 2 of this Living Event. Normally, crashing wouldn’t be a problem – except that those 30 seconds of disconnect completely unravel the 30 minutes of effort I just put into the event. I get no reward and no credit for having been there. I am thrust into some overflow version of the world and get to read about all the nice loot that everyone else in my party received for completing the event. This is incredibly annoying and I think very badly organized. I arrive at those events the second they appear to get into the area before it is filled up. I have no sympathy for latecomers who don’t get in. They can make it to the next one, if they pay attention. But I think it’s bad form to not allow those of us who’ve been in the area for the last half hour fighting even a 45 second buffer after disconnecting to keep our place.

I did the event for a good solid eight hours fine the 2nd or so day it was out. And more of the same the next day. But these last two days I crash here and there. Not sure but it must be something that changed considering I didn’t crash once, and now I get them pretty often during the event.

3rd time i did the full Blazeridge Steppes invasion it actually counted for achievement, yay!

I’ve never had the fight crash while fighting Scarlet – it might be an issue with the number of people on the screen (or near you), since everyone flocks to it (a whole map’s worth of people)? Mostly a guess since, again, never really crashed, myself.

Have you tried getting to her, leaving your auto attack on and alt-tabbing away from GW2? If it’s your graphics processor freaking out, that might prevent a crash.

I’d also set graphic settings to best performance just in case. Everything will look terrible, but if it might help…

For those crashing at Scarlet, a reasonable work around is simply let the map kill her and wait. You’ll still get the full event reward (once per day per map) and achievement credit. All you lose out on is the once per day boss chest. Yeah it’s 2 rares but might be worth giving up to avoid a crash.

Server lagged out on me during Scarlet after 40 min since the beginning. How do I know its server side and not my internet crapping out? I am able to log on half a min immediately from the character select screen I was dumped into.
