Guild Wars 2

Every now and then randomly one sound will play over and over, and if you try to leave game by conventional means (exit to desktop) the game will not leave, and instead freeze. Last time it happened it was during aetherblade hideout fractal during golem battle, and it was an elctric throbbing sound nonstop

I have a similar issue that I’d be willing to provide more detail about if a dev ever checks this thread out. Same deal, sound freezes, last time an engineer turret sound and my dagger storm (thief elite) were the only sounds playing (quietly) on loop, and exit to desktop made the game freeze/crash. [At Pyroxis in Crown Pavillion]

I have this issue as well, though I cannot vouch for the crashing as I just reinstalled the game yesterday and have only logged out once through conventional means. The sound thing sucks man, I enjoy the awesome music this game has.

I hope a dev checks it out, it’s such a strange bug… all sound is unable to be heard except the one looping sound, whatever it may be, I suspect a memory leak of some sort… every time before the time I listed it happened in pvp I believe… but it’s so random I can’t really say what triggers it.

it is very random i agree. Had me going last night though, my warrior kept looping “Yes!” over and over as i plowed through wvw zergs

A tech tip to close the game when it’s doing this is to do the following:

WARNING: This WILL close the game – so loot if you can and don’t do this if you’re leading a dungeon.

Ctrl + Alt + Del
Launch Task Manager
Select the Processes Tab
Find Gw2.exe (might be Gw2.exe *32 or something, but you get the idea)
Right Click on it
Select End Process (might need to do this 2-3 times)
Click “Yes”/“I am sure” or w/e the box is that comes up
Wait 10 seconds before reactivating Gw2 (this ensures that your computer fully clears all threads before re-initializing them – making it less…glitchy )
