I’ve crashed out in WvW a few random times trying to see if claimed structures/camps my server owns had upgrades slotted and so decided to investigate the cause.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open the objective upgrades window for an objective on another BL (empty upgrade slots should be white) that your server has claimed but has no slotted upgrades yet.
  • Click on an empty upgrade slot to highlight it and leave it for a minute and watch the rotating background behind the I, II and II; after a minute or two the background animation will seemingly “jerk” or “reset” itself and your slot will automatically deselect.
  • Clicking this slot again will crash gw2.

I just tried this and can confirm that my client crashed with the “A serious error” popup.

Nobody at Anet loves WvW like Grouch loved PvP. That’s what we need, a WvW Grouch, but taller.

Pulling a tactivator makes the whole map disconnect. With a chance to get stuck on loadscreen with your current toon. Takes about 10 minutes to get back on.

Don’t argue with idiots, they pull you down their level and own you with experience.

I’ve a ticket open with support about the issue described in my post; however 90% of the ticket is having me jump through hoops that are pointless; I’ve had about 4-5 different support people reply to my ticket and now it looks like they want me to uninstall/reinstall the game. It’s not a problem with my setup at all. This is clear from the arenanet.log.

Video support had me make to demonstrate the issue.
