Guild Wars 2

Seriously why even bother if I get more than 20 people on screen the game crashes, and then I get a death penalty to add insult to injury. Im about done with this game.

Sounds like a problem with your computer

What are your computer specs?

I rarely experience crashing in WvW even during three way stonemist fights. Perhaps you may have a driver issue.

Friend was having this same issue .. try doing a repair on your exe file.

On desktop, make a copy of your GW2 icon.

On the copied icon, right click properties and add -repair to the end of the exe file, so it’d look like this gw2.exe -repair.

Make sure there’s a single space between the exe and the small dash.

Run the repair gw2 icon.

Hope that helps.

Also, check your local.dat file. This is supposed to be for UI settings only, but it grows daily. If it’s larger than 15mb, you just delete it and let the game reload it. This fix is specifically for the sound bug that sometimes happens in wvw, but it’s helped with crashes too.

The local.dat file is located in documents>gw2 folder.

Cheers.

Thanks for the input, I will try the repair. Appreciate it.

Seems like an isolated case. I don’t know anyone else that has this problem. For the most part, GW2 WvW is pretty stable(even though culling really pisses me off sometimes)

Are you getting a “blue screen of death” or is the computer powering itself down?

If the former, could be a driver issue? There should be some error messages you can google.

I ran into the second problem, the computer shutting itself down with no warning, when the computer’s CPUs were overheating.

I diagnosed the issue by using HWMonitor, a free system monitor from http://cpuid.com/. (Warning — the download page is loaded with links to junkware you don’t want; it’s a chore to find the like to HWMonitor.)

I fixed the problem by:
1. disabling turbo & overclocking
2. adding a fan

OMG just read this. That sound bug makes me irritable. Thanks!

I’ve tried this so-called fix, and I still get the sound bug very very randomly…

I have already resorted to playing without sound…
(Sound goes to my headset which I do not wear lol, was tired of the sound of Necro’s staff attack anyways though T.T)
