Guild Wars 2

Whenever I try to swap chars at the start of the match my client crashes, anyone having this problem?

Yes, someone else reported the same thing here on the forums. Assuming you have tried the standards (eg: -repair on the client, remove any DPS meters, graphical enhancers, etc), then you should contact anet support (via a ticket) and talk to them about it.

They will be able to guide you through the next steps in getting the debugging information that anet need to figure out and fix the bug.

It’s not client side. It’s been around for a couple months now, ever since they implemented the restrictions on swapping once the match starts. It happens whenever you switch to a character that is in Lion’s Arch – other locations are fine. I have a fast computer and I still barely make it back into the match before it starts (with no time to adjust build/weapons/skills) when I swap.

Given how common it is to park alts in LA, the punishments for not making it back in ranked, and they way they want to position PvP, I would think this would have gotten MUCH faster attention from ANet. Can’t understand how something so noticeable, impactful, and easily reproduced could be allowed to persist this long.

Maybe a few twitch streamers need to proc the bug and complain to get some attention.

I was swapping from to my ele when she was at LA and suddenly i got kicked by the server after swapping, It ended up losing and sometimes when my team is good i wins it. THis has to be fix ASAP. If a very noticable bug of faulty has been known for long time, why arent they fixing it……

It is not a pvp based glitch. I was just trying to get on and do my normal stuff and I am crashing everytime I select a character. Been happening since patch.

That sounds unrelated to the original post here. If you have a memory reading DPS meter installed (arcdps, BGDM, gw2helper) then it’s likely the cause of the crash, and you should remove it before confirming the problem persists.

Thanks that worked

I use the “Send Report to ArenaNet” option every time I crash, but I made it happen again just a bit ago to copy and paste here. (I chopped a bunch of it out because of the character limit but I assume from this you can find the full log if needed):

Got the same bug but my characters are parked in PvP. Tried to swap at about the 45 second mark, client lost connection to server, tried to get onto character #2, and the client crashed. Tried again to log onto character #2 & was stuck in the lobby. Tried to swap back to character #1 & the client either crashed or I couldn’t even log in. I eventually got onto character #1 & into the game at the very tail end, even though I had swapped to character #2 before the timer ran out.

I am having something similar happen for character parked all over the game. (And I am running no third party things).

It happens in PvP but also at various other load screens after exiting a PvP match.

Either
Load to PvP, try to swap, client hangs trying to load back into map, boots to char select, crashes and I must restart.
or
Load to PvP, try to swap, client crashes out of game.

Full restart client seems to fix but often not before match starts.

I have also crashed on the next load screen after leaving a PvP match, i.e.
Exit PvP match on char from match, try to travel into a new zone → same as above.
