Guild Wars 2

The game is crashing every 20~30 minutes for me after the recent update. Is this only me or everyone?

It’s all good here no crash but you might want to take this topic to the support forums it will most likely get move there anyway by a mod.

I think it’s crashing more than it used to if my guild is anything to go by.

Yes, I’m experiencing in these days a lot of error crashes.

I’ve had quite a few crashes recently. No error codes shown, just the game closing and the Send Report thing coming up with different details almost each time. Pretty annoying. I’ve recently upgraded the driver so without going back to the older driver I don’t what to really put it down to.

Full crashes no, but very strange freezing and stuttering. Does not need to be a lot of activity around.

My games crashes a lot too since last update, thought it was my own net…

One thing I noticed on a couple of different occasions is that me and a party of guildies were in a zone and two of us would crash at the same time..but not everyone. It’s a bit weird. So I’m pretty sure it’s not my computer.

But not everyone in the party crashed, so how could it be the game or zone? If it only happened once I’d say it was a coincidence. It happened with me and my wife, but I figured it could have been our internet. But then it happened with me and a guy in the states, at the same time. And another time with another guy in the states.

So something is definitely up.

I’m having at least one crash per session for about the last week.

Only one or two crashes a week so far.

When I crash it’ll be 3-4 times back to back, each within minutes of getting a character into the game. No idea why. It started happening within the last month and as far as I know nothing has changed on my computer.

Since last patch…yes, never had a crash in this game before.

Yes. We’ve been losing good people to crashed after maps reach hardcap.

I’ve had an odd recurring crash when using the Divinity’s Reach trading post.

I was about to make the same post.

Game crashed, I reloaded, it crashed within seconds.

There’s a VERY high likelihood your video card is dying. I’ve had 2 vid cards die on me recently and both times as they neared death GW would start to crash like clockwork, several times a night.

Change vid cards, problem vanishes instantly. Also, just because you have a new(ish) card doesn’t mean you can’t have problems, I just replaced a 680GTX.

Look at your error logs for various driver/vid/3D errors.

I usually get about two crashes if I play a session of WvW with a full map of people, and the lag is bad. Outside of WvW I’ve hardly encountered crashes at all. Try to do a GW2 repair in case a file got corrupted during the last update. There are instructions on how to do a repair in the support forum.

20 months playing this game and the game client crashed about 3 times, however since latest patch, the game client crashes at least 2 times per day and gives the option to send the report to anet. Besides that getting disconnected a lot in game, showing people of my friend list on and off, yet my game was working normally, which I thought it was a problem with the friend list per see until a friend told me to stop logging on and off .

Not only experiencing the crashes and disconnects in game but also LA is taking way longer to load and been lagging a lot since Living Story season 2 got live.

Interesting been playing on a low end computer until this week. Only a few out of ram crashes during the first few months of the game. Can only guess what A-net added to make some computer crash. I would check your graphic option and current fps when in LA.

Timberline Falls seems to hate me now… never really had crashing before in game, the odd FPS drop, lag spikes or Skill lag but this new batch of crashing to desktop with serious error send report thing is something new.. 5 times yesterday.. maybe something is being done live by the devs.. maybe the latest Windows updates or AV updates are causing clashes somewhere but its definitely more prevalent than I can remember in game.

Funnily enough, it was Timberline I was in when I crashed twice today.

Yup, been crashing a lot since the last update – didn’t happen before. Game just closes, then the send report window, as others have said.

This happens randomly, in all different types of areas. Weirdly, I don’t think it’s ever happened when I’ve been doing big group stuff (like WvW, big world bosses, etc)…it tends to be when I’m on my own piddling about doing stuff in what seem to be pretty empty areas.

I’ve not personally seen any full on game crashes, but in the last week a few of my guildies have. And as someone who almost never DC’s, I have DC’d 3-4 times this week.

I’ve had a few black screen crashes, normally if I tab out.

It has gotten so bad that I just saw people organising anti-DC taxis in Sparkfly.

That has been happening since the teq updare

This happened a lot to me and my friend during this weekend. (We were playing GW at my house).

The weird thing is that only I and another guy would always be the ones who crashed, and always at the same time.
We were in the same party, all three of us, in the same area. Everybody was connected to the same wireless. (EU servers)

I’ve been playing for two hours today and have already crashed twice.

Most of my crashes occur on Karka Queen, Tequatl, Triple Wurm and the Hydra Queen.

Generally, exactly when those bosses die.

But seen a lot of other people crash as well. We had one reflect caller who crashed 4 times within 6 minutes, and our reflect teams had to do their own animation reading after that.

What we also know is that the rate of crashes increases with the number of particle effects.

I have slowdowns but no crashes. Remember there is a lot of equipment between your PC and the game server that could have issues. I have done a tracert to guildwars2.com and saw that two routers in between have been having issues. They are part of the main backbone so that maybe what is going on.

Also, other games are also saying they are having DDOS attacks and that maybe another issue.

Pretty much what happens with my game too. Only after a certain time of night though.

I did have a crash a few days ago but it may be the charr movement problem. First crash I’ve had in this game that wasn’t tied to my Internet dropping due to ISP maintenance during the wee hours.
