Guild Wars 2

I have had an issue of graphical errors from GW2 ever since the last update. I’ve lowered, increased, and messed with the settings over and over and it doesn’t make it go away. What happens is I’ll be playing fine and all of a sudden I get a glitchy screen (sound is still playing so the entire game isn’t frozen). Suddenly, the entire screen goes black with the GW2 cursor as the only visible thing. I can still move the mouse around, but it completely knocks me out of the game forcing a restart.

I would also like to note, NOTHING other than this game causes my PC issues. Not to mention, this game shouldn’t be giving my graphics card issues (Nvidia GTX 660). I can run planetside 2 and crysis 3 all fine, but all of a sudden since the last update, this game freezes and crashes? Help!

I have been having issues as well. It started in Lion’s Arch with some bizzare shader issues. I decided to check if the problem was on my end and updated my driver software. I started things up again, and the graphical bugs were lessened, but now the game freezes at random. I am running a Nvidea 750m (2GB Onboard Ram) on an Alienware System and my drivers are the version 347.52 notebook drivers for windows 8.1. I have not had problems before this, and my system passed all of its diagnostic tests. Any help would be appreciated.

I just recently updated my graphics driver as well, and I’m getting the same occurrence. I will get sudden game freezing usually when entering into a big area or PvP match. I checked to see if it was my RAM possibly bleeding, but it all checked out fine.

Having same problem around teq and claw events but also random times.

Screen blacks out at Silverwastes as well. (Nvidea Geforce GT 550M (up-to-date))
First time happened while doing vine, second time when I jumped in the hole for one of the Mordremoth champs.

I’ve been having this issue for months and have tried many things to solve the problem.
I think i have finally sorted it out, for myself at least. I have a 660Ti, overclocked from the box, graphics card and i underclocked it by 37 mhz using MSI Afterburner. I have been able to play for the last two nights without a crash at all. Before i was getting at least half a dozen crashes a session. These crashes could happen at anytime but were usually more likely to happen when i was doing things like the living story, Dragon Bash or in large wvw zergs. I had the same problem with the black screen and cursor with the sound still playing. I checked the event viewer and found it to be caused by an application hang.
Hope this helps.
