Heya! I’ve been playing GW2 since headstart and nearly have 3k hours in this amazing game. But! Recently, my screen will randomly flash with black, not allowing me to do anything. When the screen isnt black during the flashing, its just frozen. I’ve put up with a lot of bugs since launch (who else remembers trying to get a group in the same instance during a dungeon?), but this is simply game breaking. A few days ago, this wasn’t happening.

Edit: This is every 10 minutes, if not sooner. Sometimes I get some time, others it happens within a minute.

Edit 2: Its happening very frequently, now. Also, my game seems to load areas twice. After loading an area, my screen will flash black, then it will load again. But, be much quicker the second time. Might have something to do with it.

Edit3: Changing my NVidia settings from the Multi GPU to single worked. A fix I found from a thread in 2012. Since starting this game many years ago, nothing about my pc has changed. Weird that this problem randomly pops up, now.
