Guild Wars 2

HoD – many of us in teamspeak were stopped dead – having to reboot the computer in my case – most others had to start the client after stopping the process in the task manager – there is no other way to get the program unstuck.

If’s only HoD something is very wrong – we aren’t seeing them crashing in the same numbers we are losing with every crash.

We lost 20+ people – commanders are quitting for the night because there’s no way to stay in the game after (for me 5 crashes) and others have been crashing many more times than I have tonight (this morning 5am pst).

Anet please, what’s going on with the massive crashing?

Is this a DDOS attack or a problem with a specific server? Help!

Indeed a lot are crashing in HoD, we can not send a report coz we have to manually close the gw2.exe or reboot

Six crashes for me so far and not one of them was able to send a report – thanks for helping – forgot to add that!

I had the same problem: are u playing in a 64bit operating system? I solved moving from a 32bit version to a 64bit version and upgrading TS client…

I think its a massive ram consuming process in GW2 that creates the problem we have. but really i solved my problem, so i didnt work on it after that.

I’am in FA and I crashed f*****n 3 times in less than 30 minutes :|
There is something saucy happening here FIX THIS ANET

I’am on 64 bit and I’am still crashing though
~edit 5th time now kitten

Example of what it is.

Extreme Lag followed by Complete Graphical Freeze,
Mouse pointer is still able to be moved,
The game still runs though we have no control,
No option for sending crash report,
Ctrl-Alt-Delete or Alt Tab to Minimize Guild Wars dose not always work where we have to force a PC reboot.

so many of us are crashing out it can not just be down to our Pc spec’s Overclocks, old graphics drivers or being up to date on windows update.

I am from FA and I am also experiencing the same thing in EB. :( This is the second time I have disconnected and had to reboot the game. D:

Happened to me a few times.

I feel like such a noob at the moment, can’t get many kills! Please fix!

Happened to me too, EB is having some serious issues. Stupid stacked servers ruining it all. Thanks guys, blob harder next season.

Here is all we get to do after the crashes.

Number 8 for me now.

lol Any Time Vizier. i to have a beast machine but it didn’t stop me crashing

my toaster is crashing too

I think your problem is you use IE. Also Pandora, that might be eating up all them rams, maybe you need to upgrade your dolyaks.

I don’t use IE for Pandora – it doesn’t work – IE was for the FORUMS only.

Pandora causing crashing? Half the time it isn’t on when I am crashing.

80% of the time when this game crashes, it’s the only thing running. Not even TeamSpeak.

Sounds like the map is crashing and the current client is having trouble recovering.

Are you guys using Overwolf? Overwolf constantly crashes causing GW2 to lag hard and, if your system isn’t beefy enough, crash GW2 as well.

I have a respectable machine (32GB RAM, NVidia 770, i7, Win7) and I don’t run anything significant other than Chrome when playing GW2 (or any game for that matter). As of this morning EB has been crash city with my rig.

I can play about 10-15 minutes and hard lock. I can play outside of WvW without issue. The crashes occur while out roaming and in the middle of big fights… doesn’t seem to matter. It lags heavily then the game completely stops responding requiring an End Process. Reboots of my machine did not help either.

I have seen this problem a half dozen times when playing on BP over the last few months. The map becomes unstable for many players on one side usually causing them to stop playing.

Bittersweet to know that I am not the only one having this issue. I crashed 3 times today.. Graphics freezing/game not responding…. etc etc… Hate that the game is being screwy for people glad to know its not my PC.

Not on today, but this has happened to me/YB as well. In the past, I was assuming it was the map and all sides on that map had the same problem, but I don’t know that for sure.

I am crashing frequently in EB with a 64 bit system, no overlays. It did crash on reset night in FA BL, but most happen while in Stonemist when the FA horde is heading my way.

Usually an immediate crash, but one time I was locked in place unable to move, but skills still worked. I also experienced the locked in place earlier outside of WvW and had to jump to a portal to free myself.

Trying to get 5 Stonemist caps is quite frustrating between the crashes and the FA hordes.

PLEASE FIX THIS ALREADY!

Maybe try playing a different map until it is fixed.

I’m on GoM and I’ve had 4 crashes over the past two weeks. Just had one today in fact, hit the “Report to Arena Net” box on the pop up that appeared when It happened.

From what I’ve seen, these crashes are occurring when large opposing zergs crash into each other. I’ve had it happen when my side was inside the first ring of SM, and thusly lost the capture for myself as I had to restart the game. Today’s crash I was on the SW side of SM, near the SW gate. Hope this issue get fixed!

Happens to me everyday on GoM…

It wasn’t happening at reset when we had huge queues, so its not just a numbers thing.

I hope you all filed bug reports (in-game since the crash reporter isn’t working).

Mine is 64 bit and it still crashed. Its not a RAM issue – I have 8 gig and the 32bit GW2 client can’t use more than half that.

It doesn’t seem to be a network issue either.

This is an entirely different problem. The map may have virtually no big attacks going on and players from one side will get disconnected at a massive rate. Basically the map becomes unstable for many players and doesn’t matter what is going on during that time.

At least three occasions on BP, pretty much the entire server abandoned EB because most players going there couldn’t stay connected for more than 10 minutes.

Its been a long time, many months, but this was happening on Borlis Pass as well and only in Eternal. It only lasted for a day or two if memory serves me.

This is not a disconnection issue. Its a near zero frame rate, followed by a lock-up of the client and/or OS. And it’s only affecting WvW.

The cause can still be the same with different client behavior since there have been patches to the client.

And again in Stonemist during a mega battle.

Most of my crashes have occurred out of combat. That doesn’t seem likely if it was a single player exploiting something. None of the crashes were in big zerg fights either, the in combat crash was cave bats.

These are my symptoms exactly. Different spec’s (Windows 8, 8 GB of ram, same GPU and CPU).

Game crashed three times today in WvW. Its been happening lately – just started recently.

I have noticed that every time it happens it is as I am approaching the gate of a structure that the other team owns – we’re getting ready to attack it. Anyone else noticed this is when they crash?

Its not even a gigantic zerg – plus even three way gigantic zerg battles have never made me crash, just slow down skills etc.
