Guild Wars 2

Crashed 6 times in 15 min…. great game Anet!!

I cant play at all.. Sense the update.
I play on windows vista 32 bit. Sometimes it would crash in the city but now ever sense that patch, I try and move around or do anything really it just boots me off.
Is there any way to fix this?? I really would love to play with my hubby again.

I do plan on it but just not yet… And thats just stupid the game WAS playable before they updated it!

Same here. But with having to speed up my plans to upgrade (I hate upgrading, and migrating and resetting for a family of 3) that money will never go toward Gems again. I will save gold up.

Bump. They need to acknowledge this.

So basically now all the time/money I spent into it, is useless because there not going to fix it for people on 32 bit client? I guess that means Im goin back to WoW.. :|

Four crashes already. One in LA, on in VB, one in Orr and one during Ulgoth. Patch broke the game.

I never had crashes in the past, even in HoT maps.

What’s sad is I can barely play the game now with how often it crashes in places I never even crashed before. Like even in normal core world zones.

Ever since the HoT release, I have had nothing but crashes. To make it worse, the sent out an update today that made the crashes more frequent. It took me 6 restarts just to complete the daily activities. WvW is totally worthless – I cannot participate in any activity without a crash.

Same here.. pretty annoying when about to finish a meta event you spend time on.

Seconding this issue.

Never had crashes before, crashed 3 times in two hours after patching.
Once in LA, once fighting Claw of Jormag and then fighting Tequatl.

HoT launched with many crash-related problems. After I installed the 64-bit client, most of my issues were resolved. Unfortunately, this patch makes me constantly crash even while using the 64-bit client. This is a very serious problem, because I can’t even play for 10 minutes without crashing.

Still trying to get the the “Spirit Vale” update finished.
Still crashing during the update.

Even if I get the update complete within the next hour, after another 20 tries, I doubt the crashes will stop.

So many people report, so many different configurations (cpu, os, gpu). Spirit Fail.

EDIT: Just checked the update-list, they try to bugfix. Seems they are on it. But please don’t stop posting until the issue is solved.

since todays patch ive been crashing on world bosses. twice on tequatl (two separate attemtps) and once on jungle worm

have never had this issue before so im assuming its issue that was presented with todays updates

I’ve been crashing several times a day since HoT, but since today’s update it happens with any mapchange if I’ve been in-game for a while…say a half hour or more.

And even worse, it’s then hanging on the crash-reporting process where I have to wait for it to time out because I can’t even use the Windows task manager. At least a CTD would give me back control of my computer and be better than this mess.

EDIT: I am still using the 32-bit client.

My game client has been crashing nonstop since HoT was released. It’s not just this update. I’ve tried both Mac and Windows Clients and it’s happening often. Can you please make this a priority…it is extremely annoying and definitely happening to multiple people.

I think it’s worth noting that whatever was patched a couple hours ago did NOT fix the MAC client.

Crashing every ten minutes or so.

It was bad before, it’s worse now.

Same here, now I’m crashing every 15 mins or so regardless of the game mode (wvw, pvp or pve). Today’s patch rendered the mac client basically unplayable. The game was advertise for mac so we deserve a working version. This is unacceptable.

I used to be ale to play GW2 fin without any problems, maybe the rare crash here and there is there was alot of people on screen such as wvw… But otherwise its been pretty flawless. HoT launch, I experienced crashes on the Maguuma maps that happen anywere from 10 mins to an hour of playing. The core game continiued to work well enough, except a few crashes from time to time through the day. Now since this patch today, its like the core game has now come with the same kinds of crashes I’ve been getting in the HoT areas.

In pvp i’ve been letting the team down with constant crashes. Missing rewards in fractals by crashing on boss fights. Its furstrating. I love GW, have played it since launch and now feel I’m being given the middle finger because I’m unable to use this x64 thing people talk about. I’m a mother of 2, I can’t afford to upgrade my computer. Yes, its old, I’m still stuck on vista. But due to how Gw has played for the last 3 years, I would expect it to continiue working.

I really hope this gets fixed soon.

Don’t bet on it. It’s a problem core to the engine and memory fragmentation. The x64 is not a fix, it’s just letting their memory hog of a program have more memory to hog.

So, not even going to acknowledge this today are they?

So basically, either put up with the constant crashing every 5-10 mins.. Or uninstal and leave the game until I can get a much better computer? Yay :’(

Also having non stop crashing since update today, worse since the secondary patch after the initial update.. I can barely even get past the log in screen before it crashes on me and I am on the MAC client.

Pretty much. They have taken a very much ‘not talk about it’ approach to it in the last week or so, even though they knew about this since launch 3 years ago, and it started again with HoT release.

It’s depressing. Been with them a long time, thru GW1 and this. Now… I am getting to where I just don’t care anymore.

This.

in wvw, even a small group of 5 attacking a tower can result in a crash.

happens very often when changing/loading maps

Seriously…

I really, really don’t want this to be “the answer.” I don’t have high hopes for a refund, even if I end up wanting one. But I love this game and would prefer not to.

It would be VERY nice to hear something official from Anet.

Especially regarding Macs, since they rarely mention that either.

Bumping. Ridiculous amount of crashes.

Bumping. Ridiculous amount of crashes since HoT. Got worse after the latest update.

This is actually very much how I’ve been feeling since HoT’s launch.

(My Mac SHOULD be able to run this game fine stats-wise, but nope. No 64-bit client, and no word of one so far that I know of.)

just checking in… still happening for my wife even after tonights patch… please fix!

she is furious… the disconnects have been bad since the HoT launch but now its just unplayable.. she logs in.. moves a few steps.. dies.. disconnected.

oh and btw.. she is on windows vista home edition, so this is not just a mac issue.. its a client/game issue.

seems a ton of people are getting it that havent been able to post as well.. the game population has really dropped today.

The client keeps crashing every time it is trying to download the update. About two dozen crashes in the last half hour. Can’t get into the game. Then when I try to post this, it page shows “Internal Server Error”. What gives?

fun story:
was foolish enough to try the octo vine meta event. I think you see where this is going. anyways, was at least smart enough to be in a party.
so, during the event it crashed about 8 times. each time I loaded back into the map without needing to ‘join player in blahblah’, so that was nice. the most significant crash was about 30 seconds before the vine was killed. So when I loaded in, I got a message “the vine has been defeated!” but no event participation. at least the downstairs was opened up… another crash. this party is seriously MVP.
I’m going to go play legacy of the void. you tell me when you make your game playable.

Yep, same here.

Game is crashing several times an hour and is normally bringing my entire system down with it. :/

Kylden Ar.3724:

Nope, the fix is “We got your money already, get a 64-bit system for our 64-bit client.”

I downloaded that client from the Dulfy link (before this latest patch).

Made no discernible difference.

(I’m 64 bit, running on Windows 10)

“Ridiculous” is a kind word for it.

That can’t be possible. The Glorious PC Master Race has told us that a 64-bit system and OS will take us to the Promised Land of GW2 in 60 FPS at all times!

Clearly you lie. /s

Yes…constant crashes or the screen goes all weird and fractal…

Nugnovadosed.9348:

iv been playing the game for about 5 hours today, as soon as the update happened my game is non stop crashing anytime i do anything. every world boss i go to just as i enter combat it crashes and an error report comes up. iv never had this problem before

+1 Feeling your pain.

Also got dishonored for it in PvP which is just salt in the wound lol.

I get crash every 5 min, just crashes the game did not show an error

title says it all . bought a new computer last week 8 gig 64 bit machine downloaded and running the 64 bit client. has been fine with minimal crashes since going to 64 bit client, since getting the patch game is unplayable with no more than 5 minutes in game before either it locks up or just crashes out

Post the crash log.

I’m having a similar problem. Been playing hours at a time with zero issues. Download update and game has been crashing at 10-20min intervals.

Add me to the list of crash victims. Since update, crashing approx every 10-20mins

Hello

We are having the same problems here it was only at first in the new area on my not so good laptop but now even on the good machine it just chrash everywhere with the same error “a serious error has occured”Please fix this just want to play the game. It started after the patch from yesterday 17 november.

Same here. Constant crashes, had to set UI settings to best performance to avoid this kitten (using 64 bit client)

The newest patch seems to have swept up the last of the remaining stable-ish systems. :C
Myself, and many others (check the two giant ‘crashing constantly’ and ‘working Mac Client’ threads in the tech section) have been unable to play since HoT update a whole month ago! No local solution works for the memory leak affecting the client.

What’s worse, there has been no acknowledgement from the devs (save for ’we’re aware’ mumble on a buried reddit thread).
I am really hoping that the new flood of unhappy players will indicate to Anet that this problem is too far-reaching to ignore.
I mean, can they really afford to lose hundreds of customers?

15 inch RMBP Mid-2012

Non-stop crashing as well

Game is nearly unplayable now.

Can’t play today – Before yesterday’s patch, would crash regularly in HOT areas so I avoided it and would crash seldom in non HoT areas like SW BUT now it is just UNPLAYABLE. Crashing every 2-3 mins….

Seriously, WTF have you guys done?

P.S. Using 32 bit Windows 7

These crashes are unreal. Crashed 3 times yesterday.

Just crashed again, 3rd time since update and this time during DS meta at the Mouth . . .

The latest patch managed to make it far worse for me. And that’s saying a lot. Since HoT went live it’s been pretty bad to begin with. Now three crashes in the first five minutes (in Malchor’s Leap to start my dailies) upon entering the game.
