Guild Wars 2

Since Origins of Madness update the stability of my GW2 client has noticeably degraded.

The game crashes nearly every single time on exit (error submission statements briefly pops up and closes) and also frequently in game with no notice.

Prior to this update game performance was fine.

I have no additional info to provide as the in game crashes are hard to predict and the log-off crashes are easy to replicate (log-off = 90% chance of a crash dialogue)

Today 3 crashes already all unrelated – once whilst looking at map, once in shatterer zerg, once idling in LA.

Ran repair on dat file nothing found, ran disk defrag – all fine, monitored cpu and gpu temps all stable, ran memtest all good.

The cpu/gpu load seems to have no bearing on the possibility of a game crash as I can operate in a WvW zerg for hours and have no problem and them crash upon returning to LA or opening the in game map.

I have been encountering the same issues. I play all night fine, all over, but I go do tequatl and crash in the middle of the zerg on 2nd or 3rd burn phase.

(was an error log paste not relevant)

please try what I did, don’t open the trading post under no circumstances see if that helps. I made it 12 hours with no crash, if I open the TP even once it crashes within 30 min 1 hour

Been crashing a lot since EotM, maybe it’s the new optimization.

I have exactly this as well. It didn’t bother me up until now, when the game decided to crash during a Tequatl fight.

Same here, the stability of Gw2 has been getting worse on every single living story update…

Each month it gets worse and worse with more bugs, crashes lag and other issues.

gg.

Also received this one…new bug seems to have been introduced

Today I had a very unusual crash:

- the crash dialogue appeared as per normal
- the game itself kept running in the background with the dialogue above it
- I could see the zerg moving about killing one of the champs in eotm
- when i clicked the screen it dumped me then to desktop

Same problem here. Funnily enough, it only happens on my home computer, but I had no trouble playing on my dad’s computer when I visited my parents last weekend. (Then again, their internet is so unstable, it may just be I didn’t have time to get this type of crash with all the disconnects.)

I don’t get a crash window on log off, but I do frequently get it for no reason when just playing. particularly when changing zones, especially if I’ve recently alt+tabbed to another program (like skype) and the other way around. (i.e recently loaded into another map, then alt+tab to skype or my browser.)

I’m running repair on my client right now, hoping it’ll resolve the issue. Reading other posts, I have a feeling it won’t…

Same for me. A lot of game client crashes since last update. Each time while fighting a boss or doing something like mario’ / wurm / tequatl. Very irritating, to the least.
It is not TP related as i had several crashes without even opening that window.

If this could not happen anymore, that’d be greaaaaaaat.

Have had exactly the same issue repeatedly, on a daily basis. To quickly summarize the logs, there is text in there about not being able to find texture for xxxx effect. I cut a ticket over a week ago, plus a follow up yesterday, but have heard nothing back on the issue.
I am at least glad to know it is a server side issue, and not my rig or connection. I’d like to at least have some idea that they intend to hot fix this, being that it affects many players.

Have exactly the same problem as OP since a few weeks – but it doesn’t affect me that much because it happens on exiting the game anyway.

But I also have the crashes midgame like the other posters described since last update – mostly when I’m in champion fights with a lot of people. But it also happened in L.A. when I’m just walking around. And the last occurance was in a successful Marionette when I was walking to the big chest on the hill.
(so I had a successful Marionette after over 2 weeks and didn’t get my chest – thx alot Anet …)

Enclosed the crashlog – maybe someone from Anet have a look at it and give me some hints.

same for me here i still get werd crashes when i play in wvw or big events or just walking in LA! please fix this problem should be great

Add me to the club.

I have also had a number of crashes(Errors) since that Patch… have happened everywhere… in events, on exit, in LA… etc.. Sometimes the Error freezes my intire computer making me have to shut it down and restart all together.

My BF that sits behind me when we play havnt got these issues…
