First of. Not sure where to put this thread. I’d say the general topic isn’t suited for this sub forum.

However. This is related to the patch without doubt. Here’s the issue:

Since the patch was downloaded and installed I’ve had 5 crashes of my game. And I don’t mean the connection issues that kicks you into champ select and then back to your client.

No I mean the kitten that freezes your game, force you to “report issue” to ArenaNet, while in the process shutting your game down, client and everything.

I’ve not had this before, suddenly your oh so grand (not really) patch comes out and I crash five times in a day? I’ll crash more, but obviously I lost interest and won’t log back on.

Seriously. What did your patch do so horribly wrong to my computer?

The patch itself was massively discouraging, but now I seriously might have to quit a game I spewed irl money onto like there were no tomorrow, and just got it all taken from me and ruined.

If this is the first time you’ve had this problem after a patch, consider yourself VERY lucky!

Arenanet can’t anticipate every crashing issue on every computer that may be used for playing GW2. Problems that occur on your combination of motherboard/video card/other hardware may not affect other people’s computers; problems on other people’s computers (which they fix in patch x.03) might then cause problems on yours, leading to patch x.04.)

This is part of why anet can’t release “just one patch” and why they often have to release subsequent “mini-patches” in the days after each patch.

Give it a day or two and a couple more mini-patches and these crashes should (hopefully) go away for everybody.
