Guild Wars 2

This will be my 7th character . 6 are already 80 so this is a new thing ! Every time I go to buy a new skill on engineer , the game locks up . I have to ctrl alt delete and close game to fix it . Im level 8 atm ,but so far , every single skill I purchased does this . The last one I just bought ,locked computer completely ,I had to soft shutdown ! Also , the other times it just locked game with screen as is , the one I had to shutdown on ,there were little blue squares evenly placed all over the screen .

If it helps ,I noticed when I control alt delete , for some reason there is 2 instances of guild wars running . Only after I purchase skill though , not before . So ,its like by purchasing a skill ,it opens another instance of gw2 on my computer .

Yeah, this issue’s been around for as long as I can remember. Every time you unlock a skill on Engineer, there would be multiple notices shown as unlocked on top of the screen (The skill itself, toolbelt, chain-toolbelt, etc.. prob’ kit skills too) at this point the game will freeze for a while.
In my case, though, it lasts for 5 seconds at most. Sad for you

I don’t crash when unlocking a skill on my engi, but I do get a nasty lag spike every time. If I try to unlock multiple skills consecutively, it takes about 20-30 seconds to recover. I thought it was just the client, but after trying it on another character I noticed it didn’t do it… So I was blaming network lag or Mac client issue for a bit until I saw this. Glad to know it’s not just a Mac client bug!
