Guild Wars 2

Hello,
i have encountered a bug that some sound effects got stuck in an infinite sound loop and cause to decrease the overall performance notably. It’s impossible to turn off the sound effect, fully broken.

Server: Elona Reach (Ger)
Location: Snowden Drift

Language: English (Audio and Text)… German wasn’t affected to this bug than i though.

That was happened after escorting Quaggan to the Koda’s shore at southeast. We had a big zerg around to fight against the mobs underwater. I went out of the water and the sound effects got stuck in an infinite loop but i still don’t know how exactly was caused this bug. So i want to restart the client… just freezes and had to close this application via task manager… so no crash log in Arenanet.log.

About the performance… it just decreases down to 11 Fps… then to about 8 Fps while the Zerg are nearby to me. CPU usage around 20% and the GPU is really tired…. 5%.

System:
Intel Core i7 3770
16 GB DDR3-1600 RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5
Asus Xonar D2X PCIe
Samsung 830 SSD.
(Not overclocked)

Btw… we need more ppl to reproduce the bug. I am sure… i am not the only one.

Happens to me sometimes.

Starts with a zooming continuous sound, then the frame rate goes down a lot. And everything freezes.
