Guild Wars 2

So whenever I start my game I get an extremely loud sound burst of what I guess can only be described as static. It lasts maybe half a second and stops. As you can imagine this is incredibly jarring. I’m in the process of doing a -repair, but this only appeared around the time I patched the game/upgraded to Win10.

I’ll post if the repair works or not.

Edit: that didn’t fix it.

When I get a chance I’ll be redownloading the whole .dat.

This isn’t the game causing this, this is a windows 10 issue, ive read several reports of people complaining about sound cards and sound issues when they updated to windows 10,

I would check drivers for your sound card etc first.

Just tried that and still no luck

It’s an issue with Windows 10 but it also an issue with Guild Wars 2 because it only seems to happen with this game. I figured out how to stop it by right clicking on the gw2 shortcut then go to properties, and the compatibility tab change it to windows 8.

Thanks for the Win8 compatibility tip, it worked.

It is indeed only GW2 on Win10, I tested some games and this does not happens, this is a problem specially if you have high volume speakers that make you literally jump out of the chair.
