Guild Wars 2

I’m sure there’s probably more than a few topics out there about this, but this is my experience with it.

I have ‘been blessed’ with Teq maps because up until quite recently, I never crashed randomly and for seemingly no good reason. Now however, it’s a very different story. I’ve done Teq 4 times this week and 100% of the time I’ve crashed during the event. To me this brings into question, “why now, and not before?”.

I changed my system config from an AMD machine to a kitten Intel rig which is more than capable of doing everything anyone else with a similar rig would do. Everything else, however, has stayed the same; character models, quantities, texture levels, shading, etc. nothing has changed in the setup of how I ran GW2 on my old AMD system to how I run it on this new Intel system.

I find the most common times this event crashes is when I’m in the zerg and finishing a burn phase. Actually last night the same happened with the Karka Queen event, so it’s not an isolated incident limited to one event. The point is that I never had this kind of crash rate with the old system (which I can’t go back to) that I had running on these settings with this new one.

I can’t fathom why I’m crashing now, though. All was good with this system up until very recently (this week), and I’ve been running these events almost daily since I built this system over 2 months ago.
