Play a little more and you will see that the game crashes not only while you are on WB.
I have the problem since introduced HoT.
I have had like 101 errors most of them reported (no answer) i thought it is a local problem so i have redownload the game content 26GB and ….
Mine runs 64bit, same kitten.
only method remediates the crash, is turning graphic to best performance. Auto detect and best appearance give you a crashed kitten.
Turning the graphics down does seem to help some but the crashes still happen. Dev response on reddit was laughable. Nothing more than a ’Yep we know… its been around for 3 years… we test on 32bit XP…" (What the KITTEN!?)
turning the graphics down just gives it less to calculate that is why it takes a little longer to crash.
HOWEVER.. my wife has started crashing every 2-3 minutes now.. rather than 5-10 so the crash seems to be getting worse. The game is completely unplayable now for her.
May need to merge all these threads about this crash… this is a huge issue Anet. lets get an official response from a dev on these forums that you are going to commit to fixing it.
My PC:
Geforce gtx 660Ti
intelcore i7 2600
8GB RAM
win 7 32 bit
when i play world bosses game crashing in other aspects not
and i ask what gw2 have problem with wb?
Change your OS to 64 bit.
64 Bit OS has nothing to do with it – Until they create a 64 bit client. It is a limitation in the memory allocation/capacity of the client since it is a 32 bit game client. The fix should be: them creating a 64 bit client for us.. but NCSoft/Anet seems to take forever to do things such as this until its the last resort and they pack their wallets first.
I have always been able to run GW2 on Ultra settings @ 1440P, with dual monitors – browsers open, etc… but I agree with this post, and have encountered so many daily crashes while attending world boss meta events; I was close to giving up.
It seems the problem lies within the gigantic population of players (which of course is a good thing!), maxing out memory since the client is x32 instead of any 64 bit version. For the time being; I reduced shadows from ultra to high, set frame limiter to 30, reduced LOD by one setting, and reduced character model limit by one as well. I haven’t had a crash in two days now – fingers crossed until this issue is resolved. I still have ambient Occlusion and all other DX effects checked/turned on.
It would be great if there were a 64 bit client made available Anet (hint hint, nudge nudge.) Assuming this is the problem.
That being said; Loving the new Xpac Anet!
Looks like that game crashes regardless on your PC’s configuration, if you have High or Ultra graphic settings.
Same issue for me. Constant crashes on PC with High setting and zero crashes on bad laptop with Low settings.
