Guild Wars 2

I have pages and pages of these that i have saved 6 of them just from tonight. in the last 2 hours. trying to run the world boss events. I have ran all of my windows updates, I have turned down my graphics to their lowest settings(which btw really makes the game look like $#!t), I am constantly being disconnected usually right at the end of the fight which means by the time i get back into the game the boss is dead and i do not get the loot at the end, which I wouldn’t care about if I could get it any other place but Dragonite ore can only be gotten by these bosses. It also happens when I am transferring between maps after a fight going to the next one. which tells me that it has to be something with packet loss between servers not hardware problems with my computer. I did not have any problems with running this game with my system overclocked and at the highest resolution that my video card would allow. until the patch came out.

It is a known issue that 32-bit Operating Systems will crash due to OOM errors. There are several threads with Dev responses addressing the issue over in Tech Support. Good luck.

I refuse to believe that also because if that was the case then it would have been happening from day one not just since they released the patch. and if you look at the memory usage on my reports I’m only using 30% of the memory when the crash occurred.

plus it only happens during the boss fights or when i’m changing zones, never when i’m just casually doing daily’s or a dungeon, or gathering or crafting or any other type of event.

this one happened just after the fight was over and i claimed the loot, from the shatterer just now

Griffon: in your shoes, I’d file a support ticket and work directly with anet on this. It sounds as if you’ll need to troubleshoot the root cause and determine if it’s unique to your system or something more widespread.

Good luck and please let us know if you find out anything interesting.

Its not 30% but 75% of the 2GB that you can maximal use per application. Also depending to your resolution something like 4-700 MB are substracted from that to map your video screen. And thats why you crash at 1,5 GB heap size.

Again I restate emphatically this DID NOT happen before the patch came out I DID NOT crash I DID NOT have any problems with running the game at max resolution.

Ever since the daily reset issue and the patch was released myself and by looking through the forums ALOT of others are having the same issues.

After a patch, there are always a small number of vocal people who start experiencing problems that they don’t remember seeing pre-patch. That doesn’t mean the patch affected them.

The only way to find out what’s going on is to work with support (or troubleshoot on your own).

Try running memtest86+ to check for failing RAM. I had a sudden problem with constant crashes, especially on snow textured maps, after about 6 months of playing the game without issue. Turned out one of my RAM dimms had failed, after I replaced it with a new one the crashes stopped. I’d get corrupted data error messages though, so maybe your problem is different, but it’s worth a try, and memtest is just a nice tool to have for general maintenance of any computer system.

Your crash does always seem to be related to a missing projectile, so if not failing RAM, maybe that particular file is just corrupted/missing, have you tried reinstalling? I’d also recommend downloading any hard drive health monitoring tool, or a S.M.A.R.T. utility.

I recommend the auto-installer for USB keys, assuming you have a flash drive available. Just start the test before going to sleep and let it run overnight, check for any errors in the morning.
